Retired Statesman reporter and columnist Tim Woodward and Micron executive Brent Keeth are being honored in Boise on Jan. 23 as outstanding University of Idaho alumni. Woodward is a 1971 graduate. Keeth got degrees in 1982 and 1996.
“I join countless other Idahoans who looked forward to Woodward’s next story because of his unique ability to bring to life so many aspects of our great state,” Gov. Butch Otter said in a nomination.
Keeth, director of Micron’s Advanced Architecture Group, oversees development of high-performance computing and memory devices.
“His work has made Micron the go-to design resource for innovative and groundbreaking solutions to the industry’s toughest memory design problems — contributing in large part to our company’s successes,” Micron CEO Mark Durcan wrote in nominating Keeth.
The Silver and Gold award, created in 1982, recognizes alumni with distinguished records of achievement and service.
The association also is recognizing Office of Alumni Relations staffer Sandy Larsen for 17 years of service.
The events begin with a social at 6 p.m. at The Grove Hotel in Downtown Boise. Tickets are $25, or $15 for Vandals who’ve graduated within the past decade. RSVP by Friday at www.uirsvp.com or (208) 885-6154.
