On April 3, 2018, the College embarked on its second ever Giving Day, a day to celebrate the philanthropy of the College’s supporters while inspiring a wave of new gifts to benefit the College for years to come. From the start, the College rang true with the mantra “One Day, One Pack, One Goal” — and thanks to the generosity of the C of I community, the College succeeded in raising over $114,000 in just 24 hours.
It’s a classic tale of forbidden love, clever ruses, and rubber chickens — and it’s coming to The College of Idaho’s Langroise Studio Theatre this April.
The College of Idaho Theatre Department is proud to present “Scapin,” a classic farcical comedy adapted by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell from Molière’s 1671 play “Les Fourberies de Scapin,” which will play for two weekends starting at 7:30 p.m. from April 5-7 and April 12-14, along with 2 p.m. matinee performances on April 8 and April 15.
Last January, Boise-based artist Bryan Anthony Moore took up residence at The College of Idaho’s Rosenthal Gallery of Art to begin work on a unique combination of installation and performance. With his exhibit nearing its completion date, the public is invited to visit two upcoming receptions this April to discuss and analyze his politically inspired Brazen Bull: A Natural Mythstory of North America.
Last year, the College of Idaho raised over $125,000 in 24 hours thanks to the generous donations and pledges of the C of I community, alumni and local organizations. The first Giving Day event far exceeded the College’s initial goals — and this year, the College hopes to exceed them once again.
The 2nd Annual College of Idaho Giving Day is set for April 3, 2018, a full 24-hours of philanthropy designed to encourage the C of I community to give back to the College in a way that will maximize their gifts. Donors can specify where their contributions will be spent, from giving to their favorite athletic team, helping to fund student scholarships through the General Scholarship Fund, and contributing to ongoing campus maintenance and beautification.
At this year’s Indoor National Championships on March 3, sophomore Molly-Vitale Sullivan achieved a career milestone by becoming the College’s second individual indoor national champion in program history. Vitale-Sullivan blasted away the competition in the 5,000-meters, taking home the title in 17:21.75 — a full 17 seconds ahead of the nearest finisher. And even after all the hard work she put in to make it to that point, Vitale-Sullivan couldn’t quite believe it as she crossed the finish line.

Two years ago, The College of Idaho String Quartet was not selected to compete at the Boise Chamber Music Society’s annual Young Artist String Quartet Competition. Last year, the quartet competed, but did not place.
But this year, at the 13th annual competition held on March 17, the quartet not only competed, but won the top prize among the collegiate level competitors, marking the first time since 2011 that C of I’s undergraduate quartet received top honors.

The College of Idaho Math Club has celebrated March 14 as Pi Day for 15 years, regularly showing their love for the mathematical constant through pastries and paper Pi chains. But this year, the 15th anniversary of the first C of I Pi Day, the math club put out a call to the campus community for help in entering into the Guinness Book of World Records — creating the longest human representation of Pi.
And despite the rain in the day’s forecast, the campus community turned out in droves. They didn’t just want to celebrate Pi; they wanted to become Pi.
