Our Spring edition of Here We Have Idaho magazine showcases the vibrant student experience at the University of Idaho. And our Brave.Bold. campaign is making this life-changing experience accessible to more and more hard-working Idaho students. From agriculture to education, our students learn by doing. They engage with our communities while gaining knowledge and skills that prepare them for rewarding careers. Avelardo Vargas helped his father with chores on a small dairy farm when he was young and always knew he wanted to work in the dairy industry. At the U of I, he’s well on his way to a successful career thanks to lots of hard work, persistence and support. Avelardo earned a scholarship from Chobani that he said was life-changing for him and his family. He's now positioned to return to a rewarding and successful career in the dairy industry. Recent graduate Emma Arman took a unique route to her degree and it has led her to a fulfilling career in environmental science. She took advantage of Idaho’s Fast Forward program, earning dual credit while in high school and entering the U of I as a junior academically. Emma got involved on campus and in the community, gained hands-on experience and found a gratifying career path. Wyryor Noil faced many potential roadblocks throughout his college career. He persevered and became the first in his family to graduate from college. In addition to playing defensive back for the Vandal football team, Wyryor completed student teaching at Lena Whitmore Elementary and Moscow High School and aspires to be an athletic director. Now enrolled in grad school at the U of I, he is well on his way. These are just a few of the inspiring stories featured in our latest magazine. The Brave. Bold. campaign has already raised more than $90 million toward scholarships, enabling students like Avelardo, Emma and Wyryor to write their own stories at the U of I.
