Ways To Subscribe

In the Season One finale of The Bold Path, Idaho State University President Robert Wagner sits down with ASISU President Skye Halter to explore the student perspective on leadership, campus life, and the future of ISU. Entering his second term as student body president, Halter reflects on the lessons he has learned about building a strong team, listening to constituents, and creating meaningful ways for students to make their voices heard.

Their conversation covers ASISU’s role in student advocacy and stewardship of student-fee funding, as well as the importance of clubs, campus activities, and personal connections in helping students find their place at ISU. Wagner and Halter also discuss how students experienced recent budget changes, the need for clear and consistent communication during institutional transitions, and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in learning and career preparation.

Halter shares a hopeful vision for the year ahead: a more engaged student body, broader awareness of ISU’s accomplishments, and a campus culture where every student knows that getting involved and making a difference is within reach.
