Congratulations to Susan Emerson!


She hasn't been "our" student for a few years now, but we still claim her: Susan Emerson is graduating this weekend with her Masters in Public Administration. Historian, globe-trotting volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, Network Administrator, TVTV devotee: what comes next?

Other students spotted, but not long enough to snap a photo: Aimee Thacker, Chris Blanchard, Alicia Cowger, Jake Bradford, Dairus Barnes, Joe Rollins, John Rollins.

-- Chris Blanchard has been hired as the "production editor" for the new online version of Idaho Yesterdays, working with ISU and the Idaho State Historical Soceity

-- Amber Beierle is now the state's historical librarian in the state historical society
