Trailblazing Innovation
Boise State is developing research that positively impacts lives, structures that transcend disciplines so researchers and students can collaborate on big problems, and spaces and programs specifically devoted to innovation.
Boise State’s history of Materials Science begins new chapter
The new $50 million Micron Center for Materials Research opened this fall on the Boise State University campus.
It is a campus and community innovation hub for materials research and serves as the home of the recently named Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering. The 97,000-square-foot building provides research laboratories and spaces, state-of-the-art learning environments, a 250-seat lecture hall, two large classrooms, offices and work spaces for faculty members, staff and graduate students. They are working to advance materials research at Boise State.
A culture of innovation
Looking Back to 1970
Congratulations Class of 1970 on 50 years of incredible achievements!
When the Class of 1970 graduated, Boise State had just become a 4-year college a few years before. This is a remarkable time to recognize your achievements and those of Boise State. This class has helped Boise State grow and it has grown from 1932 as a junior college to Boise State College and then Boise State University in 1974, and awarding baccalaureate and master’s degrees since 1965. Boise State now offers more than 100 graduate programs and is classified among “R2 Doctoral Universities – high research activity,” and top 50 Colleges of Innovation.
Alumni in Action
Boise State Alumni Association
The Family you choose
At the Boise State Alumni Association, we may be practicing physical distancing but we’re also promoting digital togetherness. And while we may not be cheering our Broncos on side-by-side this year, we know that the friendships fostered while attending events or engaging with the university have resulted in lifelong relationships. We cherish those connections, especially now.
We are Broncos. We are a Bronco Family.
