October is SafeU Month @theU

U faculty, staff, students, alumni and community supporters are invited to engage in a conversation about how the U can successfully achieve its primary goals, elevating our university as a model for the nation.

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced that the University of Utah has been selected to host the vice presidential debate on Oct. 7, 2020, at Kingsbury Hall. This is the first time a national debate will be hosted in Utah.

The worth of a bachelor’s degree is openly debated nationally given strong employment, the rising cost of a college education and other workforce training options. But the research is clear: A four-year degree offers exceptional value, both personally and to society at large.

Work is well under way on what will be a signature project for the U—a new housing village composed of three residential towers, each named after a remarkable and generous woman in our state.

Welcome to a new academic year. Whether you’re a student starting your first year at the U or a colleague returning to campus after a well-deserved summer break, you’ve worked hard to be here.

It’s time to reset the U’s aspirations and your help is needed by bringing your ideas to the second town hall meeting on May 15.

Thursday’s commencement address from civil rights veteran and U alum Rev. France A. Davis can be watched live at utah.edu/live.
