Transcript of State of the University 2011
Supporting Students
• Streamlined registration and fee payment • Remodeled and residence halls • “Living Learning” residence hall communities
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Career Path Internship Program In the past two years, remodeling of existing residence halls has resulted in 466 “new” opportunities for on campus living. We have established a new Residence Hall Association (RHA) that provides constructive input from students regarding their on campus living experience. This year, we will be implementing “living learning” communities within the residence halls. Bringing academics to where the student lives. The implementation of Banner ERP has provided: Easier online application and registration Convenient methods for paying fees and tuition

Carnegie Classification
• Among fewer than 5% of institutions nationwide in the Research High or Research Very High classification
• Boosts research opportunities
• Enhances graduates’ attractiveness to employers and graduate/professional schools
• Aids in recruiting high-quality faculty, staff and students
Presenter
Presentation Notes
About 100 institutions hold this status, including Utah State, Auburn, and Boston College. RESEARCH ISU more attractive to industry partners (agencies will have more confidence in ISU grant proposals) Increases ISU’s ability to negotiate a higher indirect cost rate for grants from federal government FACULTY Faculty will enjoy working in an institution with a more prestigious reputation
Arts Leader
• Launched the new School of Performing Arts in 2010
Education Leader
• College of Education is a national leader in the implementation of Total Instructional Alignment and the Common Core Standards for K-12
• 600 teachers participated in 2011 summer TIA Working Conferences to align K-12 curriculum and instruction with Idaho Achievement Standards
Presenter
Presentation Notes
College partnered with DELL Computer, which provided all of the laptops and LCD projectors for the summer working conferences at ISU
Expanding Research Ballard Building
200,000 square-foot ready-for-research facility
Supports graduate and undergraduate student learning
Investment to create a national research hub
Purchased with non state-appropriated funds Business plan provides for self-sustainability
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Slide 1: Ballard Building 200,000 square-foot facility is conveniently located in the Idaho State Research Park adjacent to the Idaho Accelerator Center and ON Semiconductor. Purchased using no state-appropriated funds. The facility is ready-made for cost-effective research and will be operated and maintained as a business with no state-appropriated funds, with grants and outside organizations funding the facility through world-class research. The facility will provide more opportunities for our undergraduate students to work alongside renowned researchers, using state-of-the-art equipment and making important discoveries. Businesses have already taken notice of our ever-growing research portfolio at Idaho State University. ON Semiconductor recently donated high-tech equipment for the Ballard facility. The equipment will prove useful in the areas of crystal growth and nanotechnology research as well as applications in advanced radiation detection. Both private industry and federal laboratories have shown interest in the new facility and partnership possibilities at Idaho State University. The Ballard Building has the appropriate environment and existing infrastructure for large scientific equipment, including heating and cooling controls, and clean rooms. I look forward to welcoming the best and brightest researchers in materials science, homeland security, and radio-pharmaceuticals to make groundbreaking discoveries here in Southeast Idaho.
Scan-Tech
• Partnership to test security technology
• Offers opportunities in nuclear, food safety and medical research
• First of many partnerships at the Ballard Building
Expanding Research Idaho Accelerator Center Addition
$793,000 grant-funded project
Nearly 5,000 square feet of new space for engineering and chemistry labs and research offices
Increasing research dollars in biomedicine
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Isotope research is an area where ISU can commercialize research The Idaho Accelerator Center received a grant to research medical isotopes, which required additional space to perform this research. The completed cost was $793,000 of which $500,000 was funded through the grant and the remaining funds were provided by IAC. The accelerator lab #2 was remodeled to provide additional shielding and heating and cooling. A 1,400 square-foot addition was added for a new control room and equipment storage. This is where the high-power Moly-99 experiments are taking place. An existing open courtyard was in-filled with a 3,312 square-foot addition and mezzanine to provide engineering and research offices, a chemistry lab, equipment storage, an open flexible lab space, and a large conference room. This space supports the medical isotope research. This project was completed on January 27, 2011.
