The University of Idaho welcomed president-elect C. Scott Green with a rousing applause at his introduction ceremony Thursday, in Moscow. Green will assume leadership of the University on Monday, July 1, and is eager to engage all Vandals in the success and tradition that is U of I.
 
An accomplished executive who has built an incomparable career in global finance, operations and administration, Green's story has humble beginnings, right here on the University of Idaho campus.
 
In his introductory address, Green shared the opportunities he was afforded through scholarships and financial assistance during his days as an undergraduate.
 
"Someone, somebody, some soul I did not even know," Green said. "Giving so that I could learn. It is why today, I am so committed to student access to higher education. I remember how it felt every time I was notified a scholarship was coming. It was like the warmest sun shining on your face on the coldest Moscow day."
 
Every gift to the Vandal Scholarship Fund is another ray of light and warmth for a talented, deserving, high-achieving student-athlete.
