The I AM Podcast is all about sharing the diverse stories of students at Boise State. Our purpose is to share those stories that are not heard often. Stories that tell of resilience, personal challenges and struggles, accomplishing goals, and personal growth — stories that deserve to be recognized. We want to use I AM as a platform to let students know that they are heard. We want to showcase students’ stories to impact and inspire others. And to create a community in which we can relate to one another. The I AM podcast invites students to join us and tell us their story. Tell us who YOU are and inspire others with your story.
