2012-13 Schedule


The 2012-13 regular season will culminate with the Pac-12 Tournament, hosted by Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., at the Wells Fargo Arena. This year’s tournament is scheduled for March, 3 (Sunday), 2013.

Last season, Boise State finished second with 129 team points, only nine behind conference champion Oregon State. The Broncos closed the gap during the night session by crowning individual champions at 133 pounds (Brian Owen), 184 pounds (Jake Swartz) and 197 pounds (Brent Chriswell). It marked the fifth-straight year the Orange and Blue had finished either first or second at the conference tournament and the 11th time in the past 13 years. Boise State won Pac-10 crowns in 2000, 2002 and 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011 while finishing runner-up in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2010 and 2012.

The Broncos return all three of their individual champions from last year and will get help from 2011 Champion at 149 pounds, Jason Chamberlain, who redshirted last season. New faces will be hard-pressed to reach the top of the conference podium in 2013 as eight of the 10 Pac-12 champions are returning for the 2012-13 season.

The Pac-12 is a six-team wrestling conference. Competing institutions in 2012-13 are traditional members Arizona State, Oregon State and Stanford, along with wrestling members Boise State, Cal Poly and Cal State Bakersfield.

After 10 years of guiding the Boise State wrestling program, Greg Randall has established himself as one of the top collegiate coaches in the country. Randall has led the Broncos to the top of the Pac-12 Conference four times, to go along with six top-25 finishes at the NCAA Championships. In his 10 seasons since being promoted to head coach,

Randall’s teams have finished in the top-three at the conference tournament nine times, while taking home 26 individual Pac-10 titles.

Taking over the program following the 2001-02 season, Randall has led the Broncos to a dual match record of 102-41-1 the past 10 seasons for a 71.2 winning percentage. In that time 10 of his wrestlers earned 14 NCAA All-America honors.

Randall’s league finishes include the 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011 Pac-10 championships, runner-up finishes in 2003, 2005, 2010 and 2012, and a third-place finish in 2006. In 2011, Randall’s Broncos placed ninth at the NCAA Championships with a competitor at every weight class. The 10 participants and ninth-place finish each set program records. The team had previously wrestled to an 11th-place finish in 2010, 12th-place finishes in 2003 and 2009, as well as 24th-place finishes in 2006 and 2008.

In 2007-08 Randall earned his first Pac-10 Coach of the Year award, which came in part to his team’s dominating performance at the league championships. Boise State scored the third-highest Pac-10 tournament score in history with 152.5 total points. With the win the Broncos also sent nine wrestlers on to the national tournament, which was highlighted by Kirk Smith’s eighth-place finish at 184 pounds.

A year later, Randall would repeat as Pac-10 Coach of the Year, winning the conference championship and crowing six individual champions.

In 2006 Randall guided his first NCAA individual champion as a head coach with Ben Cherrington capturing the national title in the 157-pound weight class. Cherrington was the second wrestler Randall has helped to a first-place finish at the NCAA tournament. In 1999 as an assistant coach for the Broncos, Randall helped guide Kirk White to the 165-pound national title.

Randall became just the third head wrestling coach in the past 41 years at Boise State when he was promoted to the head coaching position on April 5, 2002, following the retirement of longtime head coach Mike Young.

Prior to taking over the top coaching position, Randall was known as one of the top assistants in the country, helping the Broncos to two Pac-10 championships and several top-20 finishes at the NCAA tournament during his 10 years under Young.

His success as an assistant carried over in his first year at the helm of the Bronco program (2002-03) when he was named “Rookie Coach of the Year” by Amateur Wrestling News.

Since Randall joined the Bronco wrestling program 20 years ago, 16 individuals have earned a total of 24 NCAA All-America awards. Current assistant coach Kirk White came away with three of those All-America awards (during the 1999 season which came en route to his national individual title, along with 2000 and 2001). Along with the three won by White, six other Broncos have also been multiple winners of the national honor. They are Larry Quisel (third in 1999 and second in 2000 at 157 pounds),

A 1987 graduate of the University of Iowa, Randall was a three-time NCAA All-American for legendary coach Dan Gable. In 2003 Randall had the honor to serve as an assistant to Gable for the U.S. World Cup wrestling team. Randall wrestled in the 134-pound weight class at Iowa, helping the Hawkeyes to four NCAA national championships. He was a three-time All-American, finishing runner-up for

the national championship in 1984 and 1986. As a junior in 1985 he placed fifth at the national tournament.

Randall was a Big 10 Conference champion in 1985 and received the award for the “Most Falls in the Least of Amount of Time”. In 1985, 1986 and 1987 he was selected as a participant for the East-West All-Star Wrestling Classic. Following his 1987 season Randall received Iowa’s McGivern Award, which is presented each year to the team’s most courageous wrestler.

Competing at the international level in 1989, Randall captured the gold medal for his weight class at the Pan American Games. He has also been a runner-up at the U.S. Open Nationals and placed second at the 1989 U.S. Olympic Festival.

A four-time state high school champion in Iowa during his prep career, Randall was inducted into the Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame located at the Wrestling Institute in Newton, Iowa, in March of 2002, and in the state of Iowa High School Hall of Fame in 1995. He is also a two-time junior national champion.

Prior to joining the Bronco coaching staff, Randall was an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota.

Randall, and his wife Chris, have three children - Rylee (16), Shea (15) and Brittlyn (10).

chris OwensAssistant Coach - 17th Season

Since the 1996-97 season, when Owens was named an assistant coach, he has helped Boise State to several individual and team championships as

the Broncos continue to boast one of the top wrestling programs in the country. He is also playing a key role in the future success of the team, helping sign some of the nation’s top high school wrestlers to national letters of intent at Boise State.

Owens has been a part of Pac-10 Conference Championships in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011, as well as runner-up finishes in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2010, and placing third at the 2006 tournament. Owens has also help direct the Broncos to nine top 25 team finishes at the NCAA National Wrestling Championships in the past 12 years, 32 individual Pac-10 titles, 87 individual appearances at the NCAA National Tournament and two individual national championships.

Those national championships included Kirk White’s first-place finish in the 165-pound weight class at the 1999 NCAA Tournament, and Ben Cherrington’s first-place finish at the 2006 tournament in the 157-pound weight division.

In 2010-11, Owens helped Boise State to one of its best seasons on record, sending a school-best, 10 student-athletes to the NCAA Tournament after winning another Pac-10 title. At the national tournament, the Broncos finished ninth with 57.5 points, a school record.

Before becoming an assistant at Boise State, Owens was a member of the Oklahoma State University wrestling team, helping the Cowboys to the 1990 NCAA National Championship.

During the 1990 season, Owens was named to the freshman All-American team. He also earned two All-American honors in 1990 and 1992 placing third and second, respectively, at the NCAA Tournament. Entering his senior season at Oklahoma State, Owens was ranked number one in the nation at his weight class of 134 pounds. But a knee injury ended the season early for Owens.

BOISE STATE hISTORY


Ben Cherrington capped a perfect season during his senior year of 2005-06 when he became just the second Boise State wrestler in school history to win an individual NCAA National Championship. Following an early-season injury which kept him out of the line-up until midway through his final season, Cherrington was unbeatable once he stepped back on the mat, posting a 20-0 record on his way to the 157-pound title at the NCAA Tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla. Cherrington dominated his opponents during his undefeated season, winning three matches by pin, three by technical fall and six by major decision. Along the way to his national collegiate title, Cherrington also recorded his second-straight Pac-10 Championship. His first came in in 2005 at the 149-pound weight class. Cherrington qualified for the NCAA National Tournament all four years of his collegiate career. His overall collegiate record was 93-32, including a mark of 54-8 for an .871 winning percentage his final two seasons.

Ben Cherrington - 2006 NCAA Champion

Kirk White was the first Boise State wrestler to win a NCAA National Championship when he captured the 165-pound weight class in 1999. As a sophomore that year, White took collegiate wrestling by storm by winning the Pac-10 Championship, and then continuing his winning streak at the NCAA National Tournament. White dominated his opponents during his championship season, posting an overall record of 38-1. His only loss came at the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Dual. While he did not win another NCAA national title as a junior and senior, he did earn two more NCAA All-America awards to become the only three-time NCAA Wrestling All-American for the Broncos. White completed his four years at Boise State with an overall record of 130-26 for a winning percentage of .833. The breakdown of White’s season-by-season

results are 1997-98: 27-6 (81.8%); 1998-99: 38-1(97.4%); 1999-00: 20-8 (71.4%); 2000-01: 29-6 (82.9%). In September of 2007, White was inducted into the Boise State University Athletic Hall of Fame.

BOISE STATE hISTORYCharles Burton - 2000 United States Olympic Freestyle Team Member

Former Bronco wrestler Charles Burton made history in September of 2000, when he became the first Boise State University athlete to become a member of a United States Olympic Team. A native of Meridian, Idaho, Burton was a 1996 NCAA All-American at 167 pounds and completed his career at Boise State with 101 victories. He representated the United States at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games competing in the Freestyle division and placing fifth in the 87 kilogram (187.25 pound) weight class.

Burton’s overall record at the Sydney Games was 3-1. He won his first two Olympic matches by not allowing a single point by his opponents. In the quarterfinals Burton held a

2-1 lead in the overtime period when Magomed Ibragimov of Macedonia scored a three-point throw to post a 4-2 win. Burton won the fifth-place match by injury default over Yang Hyun Mo of Korea. While competing in Freestyle, Burton won the 1997 University Freestyle National Championship, the bronze medal at the 1997 Pan American Games and a silver medal at the 1999 World Team Trials. He earned his spot on the 2000 Olympic Team when he defeated then-World Champion Les Gutches in a special wrestle-off. The two wrestlers split the first two matches before Burton defeated Gutches 5-0 in the third match to earn his roster position on the national team. In November of 2001, Burton was inducted into the Boise State University Athletic Hall of Fame.

When Mike Young retired as the Bronco wrestling head coach at the end of the 2001-02 season, he did so as one of, it not, the most successful coaches in the history of Boise State athletics. In 31 years guiding the Broncos, Young produced 12 conference championships, one national champion, 11 All-Americans and earned 12 conference Coach of the Year awards. Ten of his league titles and coach of the year awards came when Boise State was a member of the Big Sky Conference. The final two came in 2000 and 2002 when he led the Broncos to league crowns in the Pac-10 Conference. Kirk White was Young’s most successful individual wrestler, winning the 1999 NCAA National Championship in the 165-pound weight class and becoming the only three-time NCAA All-American. Young’s two most successful years at the NCAA National Tournament came in 1999 and 2000. The 1999 team posted the best finish in school history at the time, placing 10th. The next season Boise State finished 12th as three Broncos earned All-America honors.

Young also coached the first Boise State student-athlete to become a member of a United States Olympic Team. Charles Burton, who wrestled for Young and the Broncos in the late 1990s, competed in Freestyle at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, and placed fifth in the 85-kg weight class. Young began his Boise State career in 1970 as an assistant wrestling coach, and took over the head coaching position in 1972. In 1987 he was inducted into Boise State University’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

In an effort to continue the climb in competition, Boise State has outlined a plan to improve the infrastructure and fi nancial position of its athletic department. The project is called the “Initiative for Athletic Excellence.” It is a detailed plan that lays out the direction for the department and its facilities to ensure the Broncos’ continued growth and success.

In the last 14 years Boise State’s growth has led to the addition of women’s soccer in 1998, women’s swimming & diving in 2006-07 and softball in 2008-09. In recent years Boise State has built four competition facilities: the state-of-the-art Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center (2002), the Boas Soccer and Tennis Complex (2003), Jacksons Indoor Track (2003 - a joint effort with the city of Nampa) and the Dona Larsen Park which includes new track and softball stadiums (2012). In January of 2006 the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a 97,000 square-foot indoor practice facility, was opened next to Bronco Stadium. The Boas Indoor Tennis Center also underwent signifi cant renovation with the replacement of the bubbles, while the Stueckle Sky Center expansion to Bronco Stadium which was fi nished in 2008. The stadium project includes a new press box, luxury suites, banquet halls, new ticket offi ce, a Bronco Shop, and much more. In the summer of 2011, the 10,000-square foot Arguinchona Basketball Complex, including locker rooms, a theater-style fi lm room, lounges and study areas for men's and women's basektball, was completed.

Seating capacity for football games increased to 37,000 in the summer of 2012, after phase one of the Boise State football complex and stadium expansion. The full project is expected to be fi nished by the 2013 football season.

2012 MOUNTAIN WEST MEN'S TENNIS CHAMPIONS2012 MOUNTAIN WEST SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONS


From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while romoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 14th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics.

The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its fi rst 13 years of existence, most notably becoming the fi rst to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the fi rst to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the fi rst non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the fi rst conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the fi rst conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the art basketball instant replay system.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, while Fresno State and San Diego State add a West coast infl uence with their locations in Central and Southern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacifi c Ocean.

WRESTLING

The Mountain West Conference does not sponsor competition for the sport of wrestling. As a result, the Bronco wrestling program is entering its 23rd season as an affi liate member of the Pacifi c-12 Conference for wrestling.

All listings without (bracketed) teams indicates that the particular sport only has one championship, rather than a regular season champion and tournament champion. This would happen if a sport doesn’t have a regular season champion, but they do have a Mountain West Championship tournament/competition. A “/” indicates there were two or more teams fi nished as regular season co-champions.

GYMNASTICS

The Mountain West Conference does not sponsor competition for the sport of gymnastics. As a result, the Bronco gymnastics program will re-enter the Western Athletic Conference as an af-fi liate for the 2012-13 season, making it the 10th overall season in the WAC for Bronco gymanstics.

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its fi rst year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. With conference realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing membership changes. Boise State University joined the Mountain West in 2011-12, followed by Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On May 4, 2012, the Mountain West announced the additions of San Jose State University and Utah State University as full-time members effective July 1, 2013.

When the Mountain West offi cially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the fi rst three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2012 season, the MW has four contracted bowl affi liations – the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl.

An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “fi rsts,” as league teams have participated in fi ve inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the fi rst non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s fi rst employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 14th season of competition in 2011-12, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically.

Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has fl ourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $230 million in television revenue and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MW teams have participated in fi ve inaugural bowl games. Thompson also has positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012, and San Jose State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai`i also joined the league as a football-only member on July 1, 2012.

His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and Comcast to become the fi rst major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs, as well as conference news. n the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network - the fi rst sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference.

Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to fi nd a way to make the BCS system fair for all universities.

Through its fi rst 13 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 51 bowl games, amassinga 31-20 (.608) all-time record in those contests. Over the last eight seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times and owns the best win percentage in bowl games among the 11 FBS conferences with a 24-12 mark (.667). The MW claimed the 2010, 2009 and 2007 Challenge Cups after fi nishing each of the three postseasons with 4-1 (.800) records. The league earned its fi rst Cup after registering a 2-1 mark in bowl competition during the 2004 season. The Mountain West is the only conference to win the Bowl Challenge Cup four times since the award’s inception in 2002.

Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991.

During his eight years at the Sun Belt, he spent the majority of his time addressing national trends and challenges in intercollegiate athletics, television exposure, issues relating to conference membership and promoting corporate involvement. In 1997-98, the Sun Belt instituted a comprehensive sportsmanship policy, which earned Thompson designation as a 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport.

Under Thompson’s leadership, the Sun Belt was active in expansion as it continued to strengthen its posture nationally, adding Florida International University and the University of Denver.

Thompson is an integral part of the national landscape in intercollegiate athletics, holding many prestigious NCAA posts. He is currently on the NCAA Football Board of Directors and a member of the BCS administration. Thompson also is a member of the College Football Offi ciating Board of Managers, LLC, and a consultant for the Task Force on Commercial Activity in Intercollegiate Athletics. He also has served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (1995-2000) and was appointed Chair of the committee in July 1999, completing his term September 1, 2000.

Over the tenure of his career, Thompson has been a member of the Executive Committee and the Director’s Cup Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), as well as the governing NCAA Council and various Council subcommittees. He has also played a prominent role in hosting numerous men’s and women’s NCAA postseason basketball tournaments in St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Denver.

Prior to its merger with the Sun Belt, Thompson served as the fi rst and only commissioner of the American South Conference, which boasted an NCAA national champion in women’s basketball during its fi rst year. The American South also gained immediate national cable television exposure on ESPN and sent numerous teams into NCAA postseason play during the conference’s four-year history.

Preceding his move to commissioner, Thompson served four years as the Director of Communications for the Metro Conference in Atlanta. While at the Metro, he directed the communications operations and administered conference championship events. Thompson originated the Metro Conference Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association, began a weekly radio program with over 300 affi liate stations, and originated a weekly satellite video program involving all Metro institutions. He also took on administrative duties such as coordination of offi cials, scheduling of tournament and regular-season play, and handling of legislative rules interpretations.

Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University, earning numerous CoSIDA publication awards. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings.

Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

COACH SOCHA’S PHILOSOPHY

Head strength and conditioning coach Tim Socha’s philosophy is that student-athletes are not only going to train hard, but that they are going to do the correct exercises that help them excel in their sport. The staff uses variation in the training programs to enhance the student-athletes’ ability to adapt and improve. The variation involves both multi-joint and multi-plane training. Flexibility, core strength and proprioceptive training also is included in all programs. Through all of the training, sport specifi city is emphasized, and the one thing that will never be forgotten is that hard work is what wins championships.

All 19 Boise State varsity athletic teams utilize the strength and conditioning center. Each team has a sport-specifi c program designed to help each student-athlete increase his or her athletic potential and decrease the chance of injury. Boise State coaches take pride in the fact that their student-athletes are some of the best conditioned in the nation. The facility is fully equipped with many different machines, as well as various free weight equipment.


ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITIESBoise State student-athletes receive top-quality care under the direction of six full-time certifi ed athletic trainers and fi ve graduate assistant athletic trainers who are also certifi ed. In addition, there is a large number of student trainers serving all of the Broncos’ sports medicine needs. Boise State has three fully equipped training rooms at Bronco Stadium, the Boas Tennis and Soccer Complex, and at Taco Bell Arena for the convenience of its student-athletes. A fourth will be added for use in Fall 2013 with the completion of the football complex.

ATHLETIC ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION

& STAFF& STAFF


Dr. Robert Kustra is in his tenth year as president of Boise State University, Idaho’s largest public university with an enrollment of nearly 20,000 students served by 2,800 faculty and staff.

Early in his tenure, he established a strategic goal for Boise State as a metropolitan research university of distinction. The last decade has seen unparalleled growth that has redefi ned the university in academics, research and athletics, including a 20 percent increase in student enrollment, nearly a tripling of faculty awards and grants for research, and 17 major construction projects.

His administration has been marked by an emphasis on upgrading admissions standards, improving the undergraduate experience and creating a vibrant campus life, and increasing the number of graduate and doctoral programs, especially in science and engineering. In 2012-13, Boise State will offer three new doctoral programs.

Dr. Kustra led the fi rst comprehensive campaign in university history, Destination Distinction, reaching in 2011 its goal of $185 million in private support for faculty, student scholarships and campus infrastructure. He is also instrumental in the fundraising drive to expand Bronco Stadium and the launch of a new scholarship campaign.
