Following the announcement that Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial and Operation Office Alicia Estey has accepted a new role at the University of Vermont beginning in August, Boise State University's Office of the President announced today leadership and organizational updates.

To ensure continuity and stability, the following interim leadership appointments and organizational changes will be in effect until a new president is selected by the State Board of Education and determines the structure and leadership of these areas.

Stacy Pearson, former chief financial and operating officer for Boise State, will return to the university and serve as the Interim Chief Financial Officer and oversee the University Financial Services and the Office of Budget and Planning.

"Stacy's expertise, steady leadership, and enduring commitment have left a lasting mark on our university," said Jeremiah Shinn, interim president. "I couldn't be more pleased to welcome her back to Boise State as our interim CFO. In addition to her professional accomplishments, Stacy is a thoughtful colleague and trusted partner-someone who truly embodies what it means to be a Bronco. I'm fortunate to have an opportunity to work with her and to learn from her."

Pearson retired from Washington State University in 2023 as the Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer after a storied career with more than 27 years in higher education, 21 of which were dedicated to serving Boise State. Pearson holds a master's degree in public administration from Boise State and a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Idaho.

Annie Hightower, deputy chief operating officer, will oversee Campus Operations, the Children's Center, Department of Public Safety and Human Resources.

Jeremiah Shinn, interim president, will oversee the Office of General Counsel, Institutional Compliance and Ethics, and Title IX and Institutional Equity.

Nancy Glenn, vice president of research and economic development, will oversee the Office of Information Technology.

"I'm grateful to Annie and Nancy for their willingness to assume additional responsibilities during this interim period," Shinn said. "They exemplify teamwork and I'm proud to be on this team with them. I also want to thank the staff in the finance and operations division for their hard work and professionalism. Their dedication is a source of real strength for our university, and I have every confidence in the stability and continuity they will provide in the months ahead."
