Student experiences matter.
Storyboard brings together a community of leaders to develop reflection and storytelling projects across campus.
Join us in our commitment to storywork.
About Storyboard
Mission
We are a community of faculty and staff from across campus who are dedicated to helping students shape and share the stories of their educational experiences.
Our work begins with the premise that there is inherent value within all of our degrees. Through curriculum and resource development, the Storyboard team draws that value to the surface so that students are consistently inquiring into their learning, connecting their experiences, and articulating their skills
We believe that students experience their education with a stronger sense of purpose and ownership if they are actively building their story throughout their time at Boise State.

Storywork
The process of intentionally shaping stories for specific contexts and communities.
Student-Focused
Storywork lets students know that their experiences (inside and outside of the university) matter.
Storywork deepens learning and helps students take ownership of their educational experiences.
Growth-Oriented
Storywork promotes personal and intellectual growth by highlighting connections and revealing motivations.
Storywork is enhanced by faculty and peer mentoring.
Storyboard Faculty
“Integrating storywork into and across our teaching and mentoring is a way for us to let students know they matter. Especially for our underrepresented students and especially in the context of campus growth–we see them, we hear them, and we are here to help them articulate their skills and stories.”–Jill Heney, Storyboard

“Storytelling opens the door for reflection; it’s impossible to hear someone’s story and not reflect on how you may be similar or different. In my experiences with students, it is this reflection that causes them to switch from passive to active.”–Brian Wiley, Storyboard

“Stories are everlasting—but not immutable. As a form, they are nearly universal but the content, cadence, and capacity of stories to shape everything from biology to politics makes them enormously powerful.”–Emily Wakild, Storyboard
