Dr. Teresa Boucher began teaching Spanish at Boise State University in 1994, and is
now chair of the Department of World Languages. She earned her B.A. 'magna cum
laude' with high honors in Spanish from Dartmouth College, holds three master's
degrees - two in Spanish and one in French - and studied abroad on four occasions in
Spain and in France. Her academic career then led her to Princeton University where she
earned her Ph.D. in Romance Languages and Literatures. 

Dr. Boucher has accomplished much in the department, including creating the minor
programs in Chinese Studies and American Sign Language (ASL), establishing a scholarship
fund for each language, and leading the department in proposing around fifty courses for
inclusion in the new Foundational Studies Program. In addition, she has served as a peer
reviewer, an editorial consultant for Wiley & Sons Publishers, a member of the Court
Interpreter Subcommittee for the Idaho Supreme Court, and an independent evaluator on
behalf of the Idaho Humanities Council for “Fiesta Idaho: A Hispanic Folk Life
Festival".
