海角社区

Academic Affairs wishes to share that Catherine Black plans to retire this August. Black came to 海角社区 in 1993, beginning her employment as a graduate teaching assistant in Biological Sciences. After completing her graduate degree in 1996, she continued to teach biology at 海角社区 for more than two decades, primarily on the Idaho Falls campus, achieving the rank of Senior Lecturer. In 2014, Black was named an 海角社区 Master Teacher and in 2017 she was named 海角社区’s Distinguished Teacher. In addition to teaching, she mentored her students in numerous undergraduate research projects. Black became well-known in Idaho Falls for her work with her 海角社区 students in K-12 outreach through hands-on STEM activities in the community.

In 2019 Black transitioned to a position in Academic Affairs as Program Coordinator and Academic Advisor for the Idaho Falls campus. She served the University in many capacities, including as a Faculty Senator and on the most recent Strategic Plan Committee. She was recognized twice as the Idaho Falls Outstanding Club Advisor of the Year for advising the Future Health Professionals of America Club.

It is our honor to invite the 海角社区 community to join us in celebrating Catherine Black’s years of service at 海角社区 and giving her a warm send-off.
