LAEP Speaker Series: Angela Brooks, Women in Landscape Architecture Lecture

Corporation for Supportive Housing, the Source for Housing Solutions, Illinois Program No truer words have ever been spoken than Dorothy’s “There’s no place like home.” A home is more than just the physical structure; it is a place that emotes comfort, safety, and belonging. Yet for many the storied dream of home is more fiction than fairytale. I’ll share my experiences, how a chance encounter with public housing led to a career dedicated to working to help the under – and un-housed; and along the way, how my professional association helped prepare me to tackle career challenges.

Promoting Civility and Dignity in Utah

Panel Discussion/Presentation

In a time when respectful dialogue and understanding are more essential than ever, we invite community members, leaders, and advocates to join us for an engaging panel dedicated to fostering civility and dignity across Utah. Tami Pyfer will discuss the Dignity Index, which serves as a powerful tool for measuring and promoting dignity in our interactions. This framework helps individuals and organizations assess their impact on others and encourages practices that uphold the inherent worth of every person. Becky Edwards will talk about her passion around electing responsive, thoughtful Utahns who will focus on civility and have complex policy conversations that focus on true governing. Civility and dignity are overarching topics important to A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). The BWF aims to inspire Utahns to engage in civil discourse and make meaningful connections across differences. To do this, we encourage Utahn’s across the state to focus on active listening, empathy, and respectful communication, which will pave the way for creating positive change in Utah.

Utah Symphony: Brahms' Violin Concerto in Logan

Arts/Entertainment

The Caine College of the Arts is thrilled to present the Utah Symphony for a special one-night-only performance, bringing world-class artistry to Logan right here in the heart of our campus. Enjoy an unforgettable evening of breathtaking live music with this unique opportunity—free for all USU students, faculty, and staff, and only $10 for the general public.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the symphonic beauty of the Utah Symphony, exclusively brought to you by the Caine College of the Arts!

EVENT OVERVIEW:

The breathtaking Brahms Violin Concerto showcases the full range of the violin, from tender lyricism to exhilarating virtuosity. Augustin Hadelich, regarded as one of today’s top violinists, brings detailed nuance to this work, and highly sought-after conductor Elim Chan leads the intricate interplay between soloist and orchestra.

Immerse yourself in the dreamlike melodies of Ogonek’s Moondog, representing the silver halo around the moon, and embrace the rich tapestry of Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, the last work he ever composed. Hear echoes of Rachmaninoff’s past compositions, woven into the fabric of the music like hidden gems. These nostalgic references add to the depth, inviting you to uncover the composer’s musical legacy with each passing phrase.

MUSES

Arts/Entertainment

The word "muse" describes a source of inspiration. This annual music therapy concert aims to highlight the multi-faceted sources of inspiration for USU music therapy students both personally and professionally. In our field of study, we often talk about “self as instrument”, or rather, being the instrument of change within the therapeutic relationship. During MUSES, we get to shift our focus to also celebrate our external musical skills and instruments as extensions of ourselves, and the tools by which we get to share creative self-expression with the world. Concert goers will enjoy original compositions in addition to contemporary and classical pieces that have been intentionally chosen to represent the experiences of our students and potential clinical applications of these works in music therapy practice. Additionally, attendees may have the opportunity to get involved first-hand with our interactive lobby experience before the performance. For more information, visit www.usumtsa.weebly.com.

13,000+ Years of Indigenous History in Eastern Utah

Lecture/Readings

Eastern Utah is well-known for the spectacular rock art found in places like Nine Mile Canyon and the Puebloan architecture of Bears Ears National Monument and other landscapes. But the stories of the indigenous people who have called this land home for millennia are also preserved in much less notable sites that reflect the ephemera of daily activities such as cooking a meal or making a tool. Join Dr. Tim Riley as he explores the material history of this landscape with a focus on how we can learn more about people from the objects they left behind and how we can visit these places today with minimal impact and maximal respect. 

Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah," come hear Eastern Prehistoric Museum Director Tim Riley talk about the first human inhabitants of Eastern Utah.
