Academic Analytics ranks Department of Special Education among the best in the nation
The Academic Analytics Database includes information on over 270,000 faculty members associated with more than 10,000 departments at over 385 universities in the United States and abroad. The data include the primary areas of scholarly research accomplishment, the publication of scholarly work as books and journal articles, citations to published journal articles, research funding by federal agencies and honorific awards bestowed upon faculty members.
U alum speaks at TEDxSaltLake City on body image resilience
Along with her identical twin sister, Lexie Kite, who also earned her master’s and doctorate in the department at the same time, Lindsay founded and directs the nonprofit Beauty Redefined. Through online education, advocacy and speaking events all over the U.S., Lindsay and Lexie teach people to recognize and reject harmful messages about beauty and health in order to achieve body image resilience. Their work is founded on the premise that positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good, it is believing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.
TEDxSaltLakeCity will be held at Kingsbury Hall on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017. The all-day event will include 15 speakers and five performers. Tickets are available through the Kingsbury Hall Box Office, with significantly discounted student tickets for just $5.

NEW LOOK FOR CIS COMING SEPT. 8
Visually cluttered lists of links will be replaced by clickable tiles with intuitive icons. The home pages and subsequent tiles are dedicated to user roles, functional areas, and common themes. For example, in addition to the student and employee pages, the new CIS offers a “Financial Services” page with links to finance applications; a “Faculty and Research” page with links to resources for faculty, graduate students, and principal investigators; and a “University Resources” page with links to applications and services common to all campus users (e.g. Marriott Library, Campus Map or Shuttle Tracker). Users may add or remove optional link tiles on any of their pages, and can create their own custom home pages with the tiles they use most.
For questions about the new CIS, please contact the UIT Help Desk at 801-581-4000 option 1.
