Dear Neighbor,
Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the cooler temperatures, the colors of the leaves on our mountain and throughout Cedar City, and the energy all across campus. November is an informal kick-off to a season of service, something SUU and our community participates in fully. With Pam Branin and a team of students leading the way, thousands of hours of community service originate from SUU’s Community Engagement Center. Just a few off the many activities that took place last month are listed below. If you would like to participate in service or know of community projects that could use some support, please let us know.
As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, I wish to thank you as SUU’s friends, neighbors, and alumni for all you do to support our students as they work towards completing their degrees, beginning careers, and contributing to the community. May you enjoy the Thanksgiving season with friends, family and those you love most.

SUMA - Cedar City Architect Exhibit
When L. Robert Gardner (1918-1992) returned to his hometown of Cedar City in 1948 to open his own architecture practice, he was the only licensed architect between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. Gardner made his mark across the southern part of the state, designing dozens of residential, institutional, and commercial structures over the course of four decades. Gardner designed buildings that exemplify mid-century modernism, contributing to the suburban development of rural Cedar City.
