With summer wrapping up and fall right around the corner, it’s time to rally for a new academic year. 

College of Western Idaho (CWI) faculty and staff are invited to come together at this year’s Fall State of the College Address — an event designed to inform, inspire, and celebrate everything we have accomplished and envision what’s coming next.  

This year’s event is unlike any before. We are gathering at our Nampa Campus Quad — with new energy, new spaces to explore, and a renewed focus on the future. President Jones will share campus updates and highlights with opportunity for Q & A, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to tour the new buildings b and connect with colleagues over food, drink, and dessert all while on campus.
