Graydon's going to be missed
Popular educator reflects on his time at NIC and Coeur d’Alene
With almost 10 years at NIC behind him, Graydon Stanley, a college leader and community gem, will be greatly missed. “Graydon’s smile and warming spirit can light up any room,” said Jestine Lackner, former NIC student and vice president for student government. “I couldn’t have asked for a better adviser as a student and a life mentor.” Stanley is currently in his 40th year of working in higher education in Idaho. He spent two years at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, 28 years at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, and almost 10 years at NIC as the Vice President of Student Services.
