The 2017 Idaho Legislative Session is underway, which means the state’s public colleges and universities will be spending a considerable amount of time in Boise this January and February. College of Western Idaho (CWI) will be participating in several legislative activities aimed at showcasing the role CWI plays in providing the community access to high quality education.
The events will kick off with Education Week at the Capitol and CWI’s presentation to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee; which approves a substantial portion of CWI’s budget. The presidents from the three community colleges will also participate in joint presentations to the House Education and Senate Education committees. Finally, a luncheon will be hosted by all three community colleges to engage in conversations with legislators and highlight the value each institution provides Idaho.
The list of CWI’s upcoming Legislative Activities include:
Jan. 23-27 – Education Week
