Largest Group of New Faculty

Kelly Burgener explained that this fall BYU-Idaho hired the largest group of faculty in the history of the institution.  Eighteen new faculty members were hired on a permanent basis and thirty were on a temporary basis.  He further described the group by saying "I sense a great investment of experience and talent coming to us with these new faculty members."

An interesting fact is that the combined number of children from the group totals 147 children.  Faculty members relocated from numerous states across the country such as Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and New York.  Some unique hobbies of group members include; writing film critiques, making soap, skateboarding, and android app creation.  You can learn more about the new faculty members by viewing slides highlighting each individual that will be shown before the faculty meeting starts at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 4^th.

Twenty-seven new departments are represented by new faculty as noted below:
