Anyone interested in learning about the IPT master of science program, as well as current students, graduates, faculty and staff, is invited to attend. The IPT program is intended to prepare students for careers in the areas of instructional design, performance improvement, training, e-learning, multimedia development, organizational development, and human performance consulting.

The Oct. 11 open house will provide opportunities to:   Meet Dr. Sona Andrews, the universityıs new Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the IPT faculty. Network with graduates of the IPT program who are employed in various industries.  A list of the graduates who will be attending will be posted under ³Whatıs New² on the IPT website: http://ipt.boisestate.edu/. Attend a half-hour slide show presentation in the Farnsworth Room by graduate adjunct professor Dr. Penelope Schwiebert and IPT students who traveled to China this summer.
