Russell, who came to Boise State in July of 1997, helped develop the facilities, curricula, laboratories and programs for the College of Engineering. "I really enjoy the building aspect of putting together things that leave something behind," Russell said. . During his career at Boise State, Russell worked to gain accreditation for the College of Engineering and helped to establish graduate programs in civil, computer, electrical and mechanical engineering. But Russell believes the most important con- tributions of his career are the employees he recruited. "As I leave here -and as I left those other places - the most important legacy was those people that I left behind that were faculty and staff to support the program all the; years," he said. When Russell came to Boise State nearly six years ago, he was the 20th faculty member at the College of Engineering; Russell said. Now, the College of Engineering has nearly 50 faculty members and over 20 staff members. "I've helped hire over 50 people, and they'll be the core of the program for the next 25 years," he said. "The key to it is the people that you get into the program."
