Your dedication and support laid the foundation for another extraordinary year at the U. With your help, the University is expanding: more students now have the opportunity to imagine and create their futures because of scholarships and Teducational opportunities provided with your assistance; learning extends beyond brick and mortar and into the local and global community; cutting-edge research continues; building renovation is under way; and new facilities with much-needed classroom, laboratory, athletic training, living, and social spaces are rising. The U is a vibrant place—and at its heart are people who share the vision of providing an exceptional educational experience that prepares students for success while enriching our community through research, artistic presentation, innovation, and publication. In 2005, The University of Utah extended an invitation to our friends to join us as partners in shaping the future of the U. Together We Reach: The Campaign for the University of Utah began. Together, we celebrate the incredible progress made since then, but there is still much we can do—together.

Pershing ne hundred years ago, John A. Widtsoe, president of the University of Utah, declared that he hoped to see “this institution enter into the very life of our state; to help solve its problems, to Opoint its way, to help bear its burdens as well as to share in its prosperity…” It was understood then, as it is today, the responsibility of the flagship institution extends beyond its classrooms and laboratories. The University of Utah has become a world-class research and teaching institution, an engine of economic prosperity, and a provider of nationally recognized medical care. The U plays an integral role within the state, as was hoped, but the university’s positive influence now has a global impact. The success of the University of Utah is reliant on the responsible stewardship of intellectual, physical, and financial resources. We gratefully acknowledge critical contributions made by the residents and elected leaders of this state, as well as the Utah State Board of Regents and our Board of Trustees. The U excels because of their support.
