Idaho Supreme Court will hold oral arguments at ISU
The Idaho Supreme Court will hold oral arguments open to the public on Thursday, October 9, 2025, beginning at 8:50 a.m. at the Stephens Performing Arts Center, Idaho State University.
As part of the Court’s commitment to civic education and transparency, this special session invites students and community members to witness real cases argued before the state’s highest court. Attendees will gain a firsthand look at how the judicial process works, how legal reasoning is applied, and the important role the judiciary plays in our constitutional system.
Following the proceedings, and as the schedule allows, justices may participate in a Q&A session with students, offering an enriching opportunity for classes in government, civics, history, debate, and law-related programs. Case materials are available in advance for educators who wish to prepare their students.
Students are welcome to attend any portion of the oral arguments. They may enter and leave the Performing Arts Center at any time during the proceeding…

Bonds of Love and Affection in Medieval Law
Presenter: Dr. Meghan Woolley, Assistant Professor of History.
We tend to view law as impartial and impersonal, but emotions are often part of its practice. In this presentation, I argue that love and friendships were viewed as essential components to create peace in twelfth-century English law. Then, I explore how the English common law - the first national body of law in England - transitioned to framing love and affection as threats. This opposition between law and emotions is not a natural one, but one built by administrators to craft a vision of perfect centralized justice, a vision that could never be fulfilled in reality.

Presented by: Dr. Karen Appleby, Professor Tayler Elizondo, Dr. Elaine Foster, and Professor Maren Hunter, Human Performance and Sport Studies
Program-level assessment (PLA) is a critical component of effective teaching that helps establish a program’s teaching effectiveness, facilitates students’ learning and practice of professional skills, and assists faculty in creating important program improvements. In this presentation, we will share a unique (and fun!) PLA model that includes examples of program-level student learning outcome assessment (both formative and summative), information on the diverse signature assignments that align with these outcomes, and strategies to help facilitate the assessment process. This PLA model culminates in student presentations at a department-level professional poster session. For more information email the Center for Learning at centerforlearning@isu.edu.

Walking with Gastonia: life and death in the Early Cretaceous of Eastern Utah
To celebrate our 5th year of Fall Fossil Fest we have added an evening lecture with Dr. Josh Lively, one of the stars of the BBC's 2025 show Walking with Dinosaurs.

Dr. Lively has been busy uncovering the secrets of animals that lived 100 million years ago in Utah; this work helps us understand our Idaho fossils of the same age better. Learn about the latest discoveries, sneak peeks into ongoing research, and what the future of Cretaceous research might hold in our area.
Price includes dinner, lecture, a Q&A with Dr. Lively, and access to an exclusive raffle where replicas of Idaho's dinosaur-aged fossils will be taken home by the lucky winners. Museum Members receive a 20% discount with code, email ambertews@isu.edu if you did not receive your discount code.

Can You Be a Hero? Effective Altruism and a Meaningful Life
Presenter: Dr. Jim Skidmore, Vice-chair/Director and Associate Professor of Philosophy
We all admire moral heroes like Nicholas Winton, who rescued hundreds of Jewish children from certain death in the Holocaust, but we don’t see such heroism as a realistic goal in our own lives. This talk introduces Effective Altruism, a growing movement that uses reason and evidence to find the most effective ways to help others. I argue that Winton’s heroism and a meaningful life is within our reach.

Presenter: Dr. Ed Kammerer, Assistant Professor of Political Science
Employers increasingly want applicants who can demonstrate durable skills, like critical thinking and problem-solving. Similarly, the Idaho State Board of Education wants to see our students graduate with durable skills to help them on the job market and encourage lifelong learning. Faculty play an essential role in helping our students develop these skills. Many durable skills are central to the classes we teach, particularly in the liberal arts and our general education program. But durable skills are broader, encompassing fortitude, a growth mindset, creativity, metacognition, and an ability to collaborate with others. These are also often part of our teaching, even if we do not necessarily highlight all of this to our students. This workshop is designed to help faculty intentionally incorporate a wide range of durable skills into their courses and to develop meaningful ways of assessing student success in achieving these skills. Please…
