College of Idaho Trustee Tricia Baur walked through the entryway of Wolfe Field, crossing over to the newly completed courtyard named for her late husband, Dr. Gerald M. Baur ‘66, a C of I alumnus and former chair of the Board of Trustees. She looked down at the smiling face of her partner, forever immortalized in the stone in the very center of the courtyard — and smiled back.

“Gerry would have been so honored and humbled to know this place was in his name,” Baur said. “I’m thrilled at how we’ve been able to make this design turn out so beautifully.”

C of I Political Economy Professor Kerry Hunter was at the tail end of his fourth year of graduate studies at the University of Washington when he had first heard about The College of Idaho. At the time, he had no idea what a liberal arts college even was, let alone The College of Idaho itself, despite having been raised in Eastern Idaho.

But this year, Hunter is celebrating his 30th year at the College, a legacy for which he was honored at the 2018 Faculty and Staff Years of Service Appreciation Dinner on April 10. Hunter led the way among those recognized at the dinner, standing alone at the 30-year milestone.

C of I Model UN team earns Distinguished Delegation award at NYC conference

April 05, 2018

During their spring break, The College of Idaho’s Model United Nations team once again found itself as one of the smallest delegations attending the 2018 National Model United Nations Conference in New York City from March 18-22. Just like the country the C of I team was representing at the conference, the Southeast Asian island state of Timor-Leste, the College found itself dwarfed by comparatively larger colleges and universities, from fellow Americans to international attendees from places like Germany, Italy and France.

Despite their small size, the C of I team proved itself to be a positive force at the conference, earning the Distinguished Delegation award — the second-highest honor possible at the world’s largest Model UN conference, which hosts over 2,000 delegates from 165 colleges and universities worldwide to simulate the goals and procedures of the real life United Nations.
