Bring out the cake, light the candles, the Institute is 50!
On July 1, 1964, with University System Board of Regents approval, the continuous efforts by President O. C. Aderhold to establish an “Institute of Higher Education and Research” came to fruition. The Institute was founded to serve the institution, the state and the region in building institutional capacity. Then and now, IHE conducts public service programs, doctoral education, and applied and basic research.
