Dr. John Louviere and President Robert Wagner

Idaho State University President Robert Wagner sits down with Dr. John Louviere, Chief Officer for Online Enterprise and Extended Learning and leader of the Albion Center for Professional Development, to discuss ISU’s growing online learning enterprise and its role in the Bold Path Forward Together initiative. Louviere explains how the Albion Institute extends the reach of ISU by taking faculty expertise into new markets and “moments of need,” building the infrastructure, market intelligence, and program development needed to support sustainable growth in online and extended learning. The conversation also highlights Albion’s historical roots training teachers in rural Idaho and how that legacy continues to shape ISU’s commitment to serving communities across the state and region.

Prior to his appointment, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Utah State University, where he led strategic initiatives, enrollment management, and key aspects of the student experience, including recruitment, admissions, financial aid, retention, and completion. He also held several leadership roles within USU’s Provost’s Office, overseeing statewide campuses, academic programming, faculty development, and distance education, and has contributed nationally through service on advisory boards and higher education associations.
