Dear Neighbor,


What a thrilling event SUU Day on the Hill was at Utah’s Capitol last week. Many alumni, students, legislators and guests came out to celebrate the outstanding excellence and innovations happening at SUU, while the beautiful Capitol Rotunda was lit up in gorgeous T-Bird red.


As part of our SUU Day on the Hill celebrations, a historic partnership agreement was signed, where the Utah Summer Games will now host the Special Olympics, starting in 2025. First Lady Abby Cox, along with Summer Games Executive Director Jon Oglesby, Special Olympics Utah CEO Scott Weaver, and I, all signed this important agreement, and are looking forward to the many joyful opportunities and additional exciting competition this will bring to southern Utah.


Speaking of opportunities, this newsletter contains many more opportunities for you to join us here on campus this month. I personally invite each of you to attend as we continue to learn, connect, and come together as a community. Thank you for all you do!
