Fall Study Abroad Fair

Fair/Festival

Step outside the classroom into another country, culture and perhaps even a life-changing experience.

With partnerships at over 100 universities, in over 50 countries, and many USU faculty-led programs, students can go just about anywhere and study anything.

Find out where you can go and how to get there by visiting with faculty leaders and representatives from an array of third-party program providers like ISA, ISEP, CIEE, SAI, SIT, and Semester at Sea. Meet with study abroad and academic advisors. Learn about support and resources offered, like going abroad with a disability and scholarships for studying abroad.

A Bolder Way Forward for Utah

Panel Discussion/Presentation

National and statewide studies continue to show that women and girls in Utah are not thriving in critical areas. Year after year, Utah continues to have high levels of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and gender-based discrimination, while also ranking as the worst state for women’s equality and having low levels of women’s leadership representation in nearly all domains, including politics and business. Although the needle has moved slightly in a few areas, with its current trajectory it will take two, three, or even four decades to make notable progress. It is time for Utah to embrace A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). When we lift Utah girls and women, we lift all Utahns!

The BWF is framed around systems thinking, which is that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” In Utah, we have been working on related efforts for too long using the “parts” strategy; we need to shift and move together as a system. If we are serious about ensuring that Utah women and girls thrive, we need to create change by 2030, with a check point in 2026. Dr. Susan Madsen will give an overview of the BWF and then be joined by Nubia Peña and Jennifer Smith for further discussion about the BWF.

Utah Agricultural Products BBQ

Fundraiser

It’s nearly time for Aggie football and the annual Utah Agricultural Products Barbecue, hosted by Utah State University’s College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (CASS).

The barbecue will feature Utah-grown beef, dairy products, pork, onion rings, salad, lamb, corn, apples, Creamies and more. The event is sponsored by Utah’s Own. A collaboration among participating commodity groups, companies, and CAAS, volunteers from commodity groups and the college prepare and serve the meal in an outdoor festival atmosphere where guests can try all sorts of delicious food. The event has become a beloved fall tradition at USU. All proceeds, including your donation, go to the Utah Agricultural Leadership Endowment at USU to help provide scholarships for future generations of Utah’s farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness people.
