Boise State University named one of its main engineering buildings in honor of former Boise State President Charles Ruch as part of the College of Engineering’s 20th anniversary celebration on Thursday.
The Charles Ruch Engineering Building honors the legacy of the university’s fifth president, who played a major role in establishing the College of Engineering at Boise State.
Ruch became Boise State’s president in 1992. After retiring from Boise State in 2002, he served as president of the School of Mines and Technology in South Dakota.
