Field Research Photo/Video Opportunities Wanted


John and Jordon in Photo and Video Services are looking for opportunities to shoot photos/videos of faculty and students out in the field this summer conducting their research.


If you or your students are out in the field over the summer months, please add it to the Google Sheet. Including an item on the spreadsheet does not guarantee that photos or videos will be shot. John and Jordon will attend as their schedule allows.

The Other Annual Checkup – Mental & Emotional Health


Everyone knows that you should go to the doctor, dentist and optometrist every year for checkups, but what about a checkup for your mental and emotional well-being?


We all deal with tough times, but even happy events like a new job, a marriage, or a new baby can add stress. That is when taking time for a session, or two, or three, with a counselor, either in-person or virtually, might help you navigate new or persistent challenges in your life and decrease your stress or anxiety.

Jed Zirker Named Director of Dental Residency Program


The Department of Dental Sciences, Dental Residency Program and Family Dentistry clinics at Idaho State University have a new director, as Jed Zirker takes the reins from Brian Crawford. Zirker oversees the programs at both the Pocatello and Meridian campus locations.
