College of Western Idaho (CWI) is an American public community college located in Nampa, Idaho. It serves the Boise metropolitan area. CWI began regular classes on January 20, 2009, with an enrollment of over 1100 students. Within its first year, CWI's enrollment expanded rapidly, with over 3600 students enrolled by the Fall 2009 semester. CWI's Nampa campus is the former West Campus of Boise State University. Currently, CWI is the second largest community college in Idaho with enrollment estimated at over 7100 students. For some time before CWI was established, Boise was one of the largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States without a community college. CWI was created on May 22, 2007, when voters of Canyon and Ada Counties passed a measure to allow the formation of the new community college district. In June 2007, the Albertson Foundation announced it was making a $10 million donation to help start the college. In July 2007, the Idaho State Board of Education selected an initial five-member board of trustees. The following month Boise State University faculty member Dennis Griffin was named to a two-year term as the college's first president.
