WELCOME to the Morrison Center's new speaker series, Unscripted. Join us at Boise State's Special Events Center (SPEC) as we kick off our inaugural series, Herstory, celebrating bold leaders who forged their own paths. Featuring Taryn Smith, the first American woman to row solo in the World's Toughest Row, and Christine Turpin, the first person from Idaho to complete a solo swim across the English Channel. Moderated by Sierra White, Board President of Go Lead Idaho, this event explores the unexpected risks, detours, and moments that shape extraordinary lives. Real Women. Local Stories. No Script.
