We have 10 world-class resorts that are within an hour from Salt Lake City and people all over come to Utah to ski. We have the best places to ski here and the best snow. Nine of the most popu- lar places to go ski are: Snowbird, Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort, Alta Ski area, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, Solitude, Brighton, and Sundance ski resort. The earliest opening date was on November 19th at Brighton. The latest opening date was on Decem- ber 18th at Eagle Point resort. All resorts but Powder Mountain have opened their resorts so far. People say that Snowbird/Alta have the best snow to ski on. They are the kings when it comes to powdered snow. They have the best quantity and quality of snow. Park City is by far the biggest resort here in Utah. The total slope length is 250 kilometers! And the smallest resort is Nordic Valley, and their slopes are a total of 140 kilometers. -Taylor Sutterfield Why Reading is The History of Feature Good For You FJH Some people may ask, why is reading so A new year represents new beginnings.

  • Former Governors
    Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows The Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows program partners with senior-level political leaders who have the knowledge, skill, and will to be effective, reform-minded education policymakers at the state level. Named for renowned education governors Jim Hunt (D-NC | 1977-1985; 1993- 2001) and Tom Kean (R-NJ | 1982-1990), the national, nonpartisan Fellowship launched in the fall of 2014. Since its development, the program now boasts a network of over 100 Fellows representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with each year adding an incoming cohort of 20-25 Fellows. The Hunt Institute offers ongoing support to Fellows through The Institute’s research, tools, mentors, and access to The Institute’s wide network of policymakers and experts. Vision Education is the most important investment we can make to strengthen our nation’s economy and society. Senior, state-level policymakers have enormous influence over our complex education system, and yet, all too often, these leaders are required to assume massive responsibilities with little background in education policy. Our goal is to help political leaders develop a deeply-rooted vision for educational improvement. The Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows program – unlike any other Fellowship in the nation – provides political leaders from across the country with the knowledge they need to cultivate smart and effective education agendas. The nonpartisan Fellows program: • Exposes Fellows to the best research and analysis on innovative and successful education policies and practices; • Provides an environment that welcomes distinct views and fosters debate on multifaceted education issues; and • Introduces Fellows to other leaders directing successful reform efforts across the nation.

    GEORGETOWN SCIENTIFIC Volume One Edition One RESEARCH JOURNAL February 2021 Policy Brief: Comparison and Recommendations for State COVID-19 Responses of New Mexico and Utah Ariyand Aminpour 63 Georgetown Scientific Research Journal https://doi.org/10.48091/LYQC3557 Policy Brief: Comparison and recommendations for state COVID-19 responses of New Mexico and Utah Ariyand Aminpour Department of Biology, Georgetown University, Washington, DC E-mail: [email protected] Abstract New Mexico has seen a steady increase in SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) cases, but compared to Utah, New Mexico has kept case numbers low due to important mitigation policies passed by Governor Michelle Grisham. The goals and priorities of each state’s governor contributed to the policies and severity of restrictions in each state.1, 2 Governor Grisham’s mask, mass gathering, and interstate quarantine policies are restrictions that she deems necessary in order to mitigate the spread and save lives.2 Governor Gary Herbert has valued economic recovery as opposed to virus mitigation, which is reflected in his lenient restrictions.2 In the immediate future, Governor Cox, Governor Herbert’s successor as of January, should enact the same mask, mass gathering, and interstate quarantine policies as New Mexico; both states should then reassess the list of states that people need to quarantine from, given that 21 states hit records for 7- day average of COVID-19 cases, as of October 11, in order to get transmission under control.3 Additionally, if COVID-19 transmission is slowed, mass gathering restrictions can be reassessed to allow for larger gatherings but should stay tightly restricted until that point.
