Keynote Speaker: Chuck Staben<\/h4>\n

\"Chuck<\/a>Topic: Facilitating a Successful K-12 to Postsecondary Transition <\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 20 years of experience in higher education administration, President Staben will discuss the impact of the K-12-to-postsecondary transition on the lives of individuals, as a key component to a secure financial future and generally satisfying well-being, and for the overall prosperity of the state of Idaho. Staben will provide special emphasis on the new direct admissions policy that admits qualified students to postsecondary institutions, focusing on ways that higher education institutions, including the University of Idaho, have embraced that policy and begun work toward its successful implementation.<\/p>\n

Biography:<\/strong> Chuck Staben took office as the 18th president of the University of Idaho March 1, 2014. During President Staben\u2019s first year at the University of Idaho, the university successfully concluded the Inspiring Futures: Invest in the University of Idaho campaign, with donors contributing over $261 million, far exceeding the original goal of $225 million. The university budget position has improved while tuition increased by the lowest percentage in 10 years. Staben has called for the university to grow enrollment to meet Idaho\u2019s needs while maintaining excellence in graduate and professional education, research, and outreach. Staben has called for the university to be better in all that it does.<\/p>\n

Before joining UI, Staben served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of South Dakota, and before that as associate vice president for research at the University of Kentucky. As a scientist, Staben\u2019s research focused on fungal developmental biology, bioinformatics, and fungal genomics.<\/p>\n

He received a B.S. degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, in 1978, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984.<\/p>\n

President Staben and his wife, Dr. Mary Beth Staben, a practicing physician, have three college-aged children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
