September 30, 2016
NAMPA —College of Western Idaho freshmen Aaron Siler, 24, and Andrea Conejo, 18, were greeted by a wave of orange and black as they strolled through the second-floor atrium of the community college’s Academic Building on Sept. 29.
It was the launch of Bengal Bound, a new program designed to encourage Idaho community college students to continue their education at 网曝吃瓜 once they successfully complete their associate degrees.
"网曝吃瓜 is so pleased with this new partnership and the opportunities it will create for Idaho's community college students,鈥� said Dana Gaudet, 网曝吃瓜 assistant director of recruitment and student services.
Tables filled with Bengal swag and loads of information about 网曝吃瓜 programs鈥攆rom the health professions to geosciences鈥攍ined the atrium. CWI students had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with close to two dozen recruiters and advisers from Pocatello and Meridian campuses.
鈥淭his is definitely helpful. You have the opportunity to ask questions about prerequisites,鈥� said Siler, who wants to continue his education at a four-year university after he completes his associate degree in physical therapy assisting.
Conejo, who is in Siler鈥檚 program, plans to pursue an advanced degree after she earns her associate degree. 鈥淓vents like this are a great way to explore your options,鈥� she said.

鈥淥ur four-year partners have made a tremendous commitment to help make education beyond CWI a reality for more of our students,鈥� he said.
