Fearlessly Pursue Your Passions
At The College of Idaho, “seize the day” isn’t just an expression — it’s how we live life. We jump feet first, enthusiastically and authentically, into everything we care about, pursue or want to explore. We see art as an opportunity for social commentary, we fervently debate scientific theories and new technologies over lunch or even on a video conference, and in our student groups, we think about all the ways we can enrich our campus and beyond.
As Yotes, we’re creative, original, dedicated and relentless. We know no one is like us, and that’s what draws us all together. And across our close-knit family, we empower each other, showing up to cheer our professional pursuits and amplify each other’s endeavors. Why not join us and become a part of something great?
There’s a Place for You in the YoteFam
Perspectives from the #YoteFam
The mentorship and guidance from this program are second to none; It's a flexible program that I get to do on my own time as a full-time working Physician Associate. The program has challenged me academically while elevating my confidence and feeding my enthusiasm, resilience, and determination for the goals that are most important to me. It is an honor to be able to be part of a program which aims to create change, elevate patient care, and advance my career.
The best experiences I’ve had as a Yote are tied to our family-like culture. When our whole basketball team decided to help out on campus clean-up day, I was very shocked to see our presidents, who looked like they had been out cleaning for a couple of hours. That’s when I know that this place was different. It starts with our leadership! They will do anything to make sure you have the best experience possible at CofI, even if it’s picking weeds.
The professors are really able to respond to you when there are changes going on in your life. They’ve been very great about responding when I have a question and really quickly. I think the program sets you up for success because the people in it are so devoted to help you through the process.
As a college, our “Yote” culture is part of our identity early on, building experiences that I take with me for the rest of my life. More specifically, my journey as a member, leader and captain of the Yote football program and as a graduate student in sport administration has provided me with lifelong friendships and the opportunity to pursue my dreams of playing professional football following graduation.
Originality and Purpose, Amplified
