Notice of Fall Fire Evacuation Drills

The ISU campuses in Pocatello and Idaho Falls will practice a fire evacuation drill between the dates of August 28 and September 8. The evacuation schedule and instructions are available on Public Safety's website.

In an effort to simplify the process and be more student-centric, we have updated the locations of Areas of Assembly across campus and created an online map for Meridian, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello to utilize.

New Academic Integrity Council

ISU faculty have heard a lot about chatbots in the last year. Should you allow your students to use them to complete their course assignments? How would you even know if students are drawing upon generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing?

One of the most important predictors for ensuring student integrity is for faculty to have clear academic standards and policies for a course, and the newly formed Academic Integrity Council may be able to assist you.

Call for proposals: Cultural Events Committee

The Cultural Events Committee invites all ISU faculty members to submit a funding application for cultural events that serve any ISU community.
