Division of Human Resources Required Annual Training: Respectful Workplace and Cybersecurity Training

It’s that time of year again, for employees to complete required annual trainings. As required by the State of Idaho Division of Human Resources and State of Idaho Information Technology Services, ISU faculty and staff are joining all other state employees in completing annual training for both Respectful Workplace, and Cybersecurity. Completion of these trainings is required for benefit-eligible faculty and staff to be eligible for FY26 change in employee compensation pay increases, should they be approved by the legislature.

Campus Master Plan Approved

Over the past year and a half, the Campus Operations and Facilities Services teams have undertaken a comprehensive Campus Master Plan project.

This planning effort followed a structured, iterative approach, allowing us to deepen our understanding of Idaho State University’s needs and opportunities while planning for the strategic development and improvement of our campus. We are deeply appreciative of the feedback from faculty, staff, students, and alumni through surveys, pop-up events, town-halls, and stakeholder meetings throughout the project. The campus-wide participation resulted in a collaborative, data-driven plan that will improve strategic decision-making for the future of Idaho State University.
