Come enjoy free food, swag, a picture booth, kick a field goal, relax in a massage chair and fulfill a WellU requirement with a flu shot. Get hooked up with Hooked on Books (donations from King’s English and the U’s English Department), show your U pride with an airbrush tattoo and sign up to give back to a local charity while you’re at it. Campaign For Our Community will be available to answer any questions.

All items are donated by community partners, and amazing departments like the University Campus Book Store and exhibitors have pulled out their best swag.

Clear bags will be provided for most staff in keeping with our strategic goals: PLEASE help us keep our campus sustainable and earth friendly. If you have a clear bag from EAD 2018, please bring it back and receive a small thank you when you do.

Inquire by email to jessica.hampton@utah.edu.

Pepsi, the U’s official sponsor, donated a great selection of soda, water and sports drinks to help wash down your pizza slice. Gluten-free pizza available upon request. Please inquire with a volunteer.

In addition to all the swag and giveaways, come listen to some LAHJIT music.

Please come and let us Salute U!
