"Looking for a way to offer online courses that provide your students more choices, stretch your funding, and keep low enrollment programs running? Check out WICHE ICE which provides a proven framework that supports inter-institutional collaboration, pairing providers with institutions that are looking for ways to enhance options."
Sam Gingerich, ICE Chair and System Vice President for Academic Affairs, South Dakota Board of Regents
"While universities and colleges have probably never been able to afford the faculty expertise and course diversity that would best benefit student learning, now during bad economic times it is essential for institutions to share resources in order to enhance learning opportunities and reduce costs. WICHE ICE is a proven organizational and financial structure that allows institutions to share courses and programs effectively, while ensuring that students have enhanced access to learning opportunities without additional administrative burdens."
Maggi Murdock, Associate Provost and Dean, Outreach School, University of Wyoming
ICE supplements the curriculum, allowing students to tap into expertise from around the region. It both broadens and deepens a program’s offerings.

Mark Wheeler, Dean, Extended Studies, Boise State University
"I have enjoyed teaching WICHE ICE students through an online course at UAA. They tend to be very engaged throughout the courses."

Becky Porter, Instructor, Center for Behavioral Health Research & Services, University of Alaska Anchorage
(Becky Porter is an instructor for the Center for Behavioral Health Research & Services at the University of Alaska Anchorage. During Spring 2011 and 2012 semesters, she taught a series of three workshops on the topic “fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.” Typically 10 students from another institution enroll in each workshop through ICE.)
