St. Luke’s Cancer Institute plans to break ground this spring on a 42,000-square-foot Nampa campus. The new building would be more than twice the size of the existing Nampa one.

Around Idaho

The new Idaho State University Bengal Welcome Center has opened on the lower level of the Pond Student Union.

It occupies an area that was previously the Transition Gallery. “It is a much more visible and easier-to-find location than our previous office and it is new, fresh and more modern,” said Nicole Joseph, ISU director of admissions and recruitment. “It is a great resource for our prospective students and families.”
