  • Weber State's Nature Volunteers Work to Make a Difference
    Weber State's nature volunteers work to make a difference Weber State's nature volunteers work to make a difference THURSDAY , MARCH 06, 2014 - 2:11 PM JaNae Francis, Standard-Examiner Staff OGDEN — Sometimes happiness is as simple as planting a tree. That seemed to be the message Saturday morning as Weber State University students were joined by members of the community they invited to Make a Difference Day activities sponsored by the WSU Center for Community Engaged Learning. More than 100 students and guests split up and gathered at the Ogden Nature Center, Antelope Island State Park and WSU’s Community Garden to plant trees and other plants, post signs reminding people not to leave their cars idling and to help out in other ways. The groups first met together and heard a talk by Cherise Udell, founder of Utah Moms for Clean Air, who told them about the sometimes dangerous state of Utah air and outlined ways that they could help to change that statistic. “Can you imagine what the world would be like if more people were like that? If they got a good idea and just ran with it?,” said Chelsea Wessman, a communications senior at WSU. Wessman said she was happy to give of herself. “I’ve been really blessed in my life,” she said as she helped plant trees at Ogden Nature Center. “I think a lot of these students have as well.” Sara Purser, a senior studying fitness and nutrition, said she found helping at the center exciting and fun. “I’m all about making the Earth better,” she said.

    LEARN ABOUT THE STATE’S DIVERSE AND VIBRANT ECONOMY 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE 01 GOVERNMENT 02 WORKFORCE 08 EDUCATION 10 QUALITY OF LIFE 14 HEALTHCARE 18 INFRASTRUCTURE 20 POPULATION 24 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICES 26 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Hello, and thank you for your interest in the great state of Utah. Since 2014, I have served as executive director of the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED). More than a decade ago, Gov. Gary Herbert created a bold vision for Utah to become America’s strongest economy. By many measures, we’ve achieved that goal. For a decade, Forbes has ranked Utah a top-three Best State for Business, including six times in the number one spot. The Hachman Index has ranked Utah’s economy as the most diverse in the nation. Compared to other states, Utah has the lowest unemployment rate and highest per capita job creation. business.utah.gov GOED — in collaboration with statewide business, education and community leaders — works tirelessly to maintain Utah’s winning economy. Low tax rates, a vibrant workforce, and sensible regulations are part of the foundation for the state’s excellent business environment. Following the leadership of Gov. Herbert, we aim to “keep government off your backs and out of your wallet.” Utah’s secret sauce includes positive can-do attitudes, affordable education collaboration, and a generous amount of innovation. People choose to live and work in our great state because Utah has something to offer everyone — from a metropolitan capital region that includes more than 2 million people to the solitude of Utah’s Mighty Five® national parks.
