In May 2007, voters in Ada and Canyon counties passed a referendum creating a community college district. The resulting institution of higher learning, College of Western Idaho (CWI), will change southwestern Idaho’s higher education landscape and open educational doors for many. At this forum, CWI’s trustees and president will brief City Club on their plans and progress, answer questions and seek input.
