Dr. Rieske made his home in Pocatello to enhance autism research across the state of Idaho. Listen to our latest podcast to hear about how research and programming are meeting the diverse needs of the community and students, and how the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) minor offered by ISU is preparing students for the high-demand field of ABA services.

We are proud to announce the appointment of Matthew Levay, Ph.D as the Faculty Research Development Fellow within the College of Arts and Letters (CAL). With his experience as an Associate Professor of English and Director of Graduate Studies, Levay brings a wealth of expertise to this forward-thinking role.

Being selected to perform at the conference, which covers the Northwest states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming, is a great honor reflecting the excellence of the choral program at ISU.

Idaho State University's School of Performing Arts is proud to announce that their exceptional production of "Life X 3" by Yasmina Reza has been chosen as one of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival's (KCACTF) regional finalists for this year.

“Students in this course are making incredible connections. They're making connections with people, connections with the resources that are available at ISU, and that is amazing.”

Hal Hellwig shares the inspiration behind his recently published book, American Film Noir Genres, Characters, and Settings
