Brian Bolt began working at Boise State as a student employee in 1997 , and then as a full-time employee in 1999 . After leaving for a couple years , Bolt returned and has been with the University ’ s IT organization ever since . He earned his MBA from Boise State in 2006 and became Deputy Chief Information Officer in 2015 .
