IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – College of Eastern Idaho (CEI) honored Park Price Thursday for nine years of service as the first Chairman of its Board of Trustees.

Under Price’s guidance, the campus expanded significantly with a brand-new 88,000-square-foot Battelle Energy Alliance Future Tech Building in Partnership with Frontier Credit Union.

"It's been a fabulous journey. It's one of those journeys that proved to me that if you're persistent and have a good idea, you can win in the long run," Price told Local News 8.
