David Hahn named 8th President of Boise State University

During a special meeting Wednesday, July 1, the Idaho State Board of Education unanimously appointed Dr. David W. Hahn as the eighth president of Boise State University.

Hahn's appointment follows a national presidential search and the completion of the 10-business-day period required under Idaho law after he was named the sole finalist on June 16. Hahn's appointment is effective July 1. He will perform his duties as he prepares to move to Idaho and will begin serving on campus no later than Aug. 10, in accordance with the terms of his contract.

"This vote reflects the confidence of the full Board in the process we undertook and in the leader we have selected," President of the Idaho State Board of Education Kurt Liebich said. "Today's vote is the culmination of a rigorous process, and I have every confidence that Boise State and the state of Idaho are well served by this appointment. Dr. Hahn is the right person to lead Boise State into its next chapter."
