Ricks College. In 1903, the school was renamed again as Ricks Academy in honor of Thomas E. Ricks, the Bannock Stake president at the time it was founded and the chairman of the school's first Board of Education.
He also served as the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in the College of Business Administration (1987-1992), as well as the Director of the Management Decision-Making Lab (1992-1997). In 1997 Elder Bednar became the president of Ricks College. In the summer of 2001, Ricks College transitioned to BYU-Idaho. Elder Bednar guided that sometimes rocky transformation from a two-year junior college to a four-year university with style and grace.
