Rexburg Graduation Ceremony is Thursday

REXBURG—Eighteen Rexburg students will graduate with their teaching certification complete, thanks to the long-standing cooperative effort between Rick’s College (now BYU-Idaho) and Lewis-Clark State. The event will take place at the BYU-Idaho campus in the Taylor Building Cultural Hall. Dinner will be served at 5:00 p.m. and the ceremony will follow at 7:00 p.m.

This year marks the close of the program between the two colleges, where Rexburg students were able to complete requirements for a teaching certificate by completing the program requirements of LC’s Education Division. The arrangement included Rexburg students completing a summer cohort (16 credits) at the Lewiston campus before returning to finish out their program according to the LCSC Education Division’s standards.

With the new four-year program at the BYU-Idaho campus, students will no longer need the LC partnership in order to complete their elementary education degrees. Lewis-Clark State Education Division Chair Jann Hill said, “We’re very happy to see them launch their own program, but sorry to see them go. A lot of good things have come from this relationship.” The cooperative program sent an average of 24 students to the Lewiston Campus each summer.
