“The Idaho State Board of Education has made a great hire in Dr. Duane Nellis. His experience in research and administration at land-grant schools will serve the university and its students well. I wish him every success as he leads the University of Idaho forward.

“I also want to commend Interim President and fellow alumnus Steven Daley-Laursen for his many years of service to our school. His leadership over the past months has been first-rate. I wish him and his family the best in the coming years.”
