Vicki Stieha to Lead the New Foundational Studies Program at Boise State

Vicki Stieha was named director of the new Foundational Studies Program at Boise State University in Idaho. The program will replace the university’s core curriculum with a new multidisciplinary framework that will extend the university’s educational experience beyond the classroom with internships, teamwork projects, government service, study abroad programs, and service-learning initiatives. The new program is slated to go into effect in the fall of 2012.

As interim director of general education at Northern Kentucky University, Dr. Stieha revamped the core curriculum at that institution.

Dr. Stieha is a graduate of Florida State University. She holds a master’s degree in secondary education from Xavier University and an educational doctorate from the University of Cincinnati.
