Jack Marr
The 2021 spring conference for the Consortium of Undergraduate International Business Education (CUIBE) was co-hosted by Boise State’s College of Business and Economics and the University of Wyoming’s College of Business. Led by Jack Marr, clinical assistant professor at Boise State, and University of Wyoming College of Business Dean David Sprott, the theme of this year’s conference was “Rethinking Global Capitalism: A View from the Mountain West.”
The event was originally planned to be held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as a halfway point between the two universities. The in-person event was canceled due to COVID, so Marr and Sprott hosted a virtual, three-day conference with more than 80 participants.

Robert V. Hansberger
The family of the late Idaho business icon Robert V. Hansberger has honored him by creating the Robert V. Hansberger Endowed Chair within the Boise State’s College of Business and Economics. The $1.75 million gift establishes a permanently endowed fund for a business ethics chair position within the college – the first of its kind in Idaho.
“Our father believed strongly that business has a great deal of responsibility to the individuals and society in which it operates,” said Carol Hansberger Lloyd. “Therefore, our goal in endowing a chair in the College of Business and Economics is to continue the legacy of Bob Hansberger, and to encourage corporate social responsibility and the application of ethical values in making business decisions.”

Boise State’s College of Business and Economics (COBE) is actively helping the Idaho business community solve challenges and disruptions due to COVID. Last fall, the college launched Bronco Corps, a program that provides Idaho small businesses and nonprofit organizations with student interns at no cost, and helps students gain valuable work experience. Following a successful pilot phase, a generous donor recently made it possible for the program to continue through 2021.
Organizations that took part in Bronco Corps last year include the Gardner Company, Boise Bicycle Project, American Red Cross, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage, Girls on the Run, and Boise Cakery, to name a few. Based on an end-of-year survey, 67 percent of the companies will offer additional opportunities to interns. Each of the participating companies reported that the main goals of the internships were met.
