Students in the Honors program course, “Orange You Creative” have successfully secured funding from three donors to sponsor a variety of Idaho State branded art and active experiences to be featured in the Historic Downtown Pocatello.
Two years ago, College of Business Management Professor, Dr. Jeff Street launched the Honors Program course in an effort to bring together the Idaho State University and Pocatello communities and “spread the Bengal pride.” Now in its second round, the course combined the creative minds of 16 talented Honors Program students to come up with five new ideas which Lookout Credit Union, the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments, Inc. (SICOG) and Historic Downtown Pocatello have all agreed to sponsor.
Totaling about $15,000 the project will include the addition of a 12-foot-tall wrought iron structure reminiscent of the famous Swanson Arch on campus. Once completed, the arch design will be placed in Leadership Pocatello Park on Main Street.
