BOISE-Learn about education opportunities at Idaho State University at ISU Day at the Capitol on Wednesday, Feb. 28.

Colleges and divisions represented include the Kasiska Division of Health Sciences, Family Medicine Residency, the Graduate School and the colleges of Pharmacy, Science and Engineering, Arts and Letters, Education, Technology and Business.
