Jen Schneider will continue to serve as interim dean of the College of Innovation and Design as the search for Boise State’s next president continues.
The university will pause the search to fill the Dean of the College of Innovation and Design and Director of Strategic University Initiatives position, pending the selection of a new president, as recommended by the search committee. The committee stands ready to resume the search as soon as permanent university leadership is in place.
Schneider has previously served as associate dean of the College of Innovation and Design, director of the Digital Innovation and Design degree program and as an associate dean in the School of Public Service. Most recently, she helped lead efforts related to AI on campus and was pivotal in creating “The Space,” a dedicated innovation facility in the library designed to benefit the whole campus community.
