Utah State GREATS 2008 Research Hands-On Learning Outreach Alumni Location Utah State GREATS www.usu.edu/greats 2008 research hands-on learning outreach alumni location 1 The Measure and Means for All that is Great The year 2008 has been another great year for Utah State University. We have good reason to celebrate the many accomplishments of our students and faculty. We are proud of the continued excellence and contributions this great university makes to the state and the world. It is a tribute to the spirit and pride that identifies and distinguishes us as Aggies. It is a reflection of world-class research and teaching that provides our students exceptional value through high-quality, hands-on experiences. It is a promise of a higher education in the truest sense of that word. Compiled in this booklet, you will find examples of great heights achieved by our students and faculty that are well worth noting. Accomplishments such as: • A grand prize rocket launch win from NASA. Our engineering students took home five of seven awards at the national competition. • The recognition of more than 500 USU students who, since 1975, have conducted research supported by the Undergraduate Research and Creative Opportunities grant program. From metal sculpture to chokecherry seed propagation and whirling disease in trout, real-life problems are explored and solved by our undergraduates. • USU alum Brandon Schrand received the Barnes & Noble ‘Discover Great New Writers’ Award for his memoir, The Enders Hotel. • Top prize earned by undergraduate Katie Fotheringham for an impressive kitchen design in the student category of the Sub-Zero and Wolf Appliance, Inc. Kitchen Design Competition. • USU-licensed technology that now allows road crews to replace entire bridges in a single weekend. The reduced road closures and detours of a bridge installed at I-215 in Salt Lake City saved $4 million in road construction costs and cut construction time down from six months to a single weekend. • USU’s world-acclaimed Fry Street Quartet performed Utah’s first complete Beethoven String Quartet Cycle. It was a musical marathon this fall that would normally occur over the course of a year but was accomplished in just two weeks. • Deserved recognition for a student-run organization, Aggie Blue Bikes, that benefits the environment and promotes good health. The idea started in 2005 to attack air quality problems in Cache Valley. The program that checks bikes out to students free of charge, has grown from nine to approximately 120 bicycles in just three years. These highlights showcase the varied and diverse abilities of the students, faculty and staff at our great institution. In an effort to increase USU’s success, I was pleased to announce a comprehensive fundraising campaign with a goal of $200 million in March 2007. We successfully reached and surpassed that four- year goal in the first year of the campaign. As a result of the early success, the university has extended the length and increased the dollar amount of the campaign’s goals to $400 million. I deeply appreciate the generous gifts and donations, large and small, that have come to USU over the past 12 months. At any time, particularly during these challenging economic times, we know that giving is not done without careful thought. The decision to invest in higher education is truly a reflection of foresight and vision — for it is a gift to the future that benefits students for generations to come. My special thanks to our students, faculty, staff, alumni and all our generous supporters of the past year. It is you who provided the measure and means for all we know that is great about Utah State. Stan L.

  • Willie Stewart MORÁN MORÁN
    Willie Stewart MORÁN MORÁN Willie Stewart was two years old when the Cure’s “In Between Days” was released. The song is an earworm that can get you to dance to dour lyrics: “Yesterday I got so old, I felt like I could die.” Stewart took this former nightclub staple as the title of his recent solo exhibition, which, like the band’s music, was austere, showy, and well-crafted, more thoughtful than its slick finishes suggested. Stewart, who is also a musician, used the arena of arty punk and synth bands from the 1980s to explore layered notions of time, in an era when any decade’s records are instantly streamable. A sense of nostalgia surrounded bygone bands (Joy Division and New Order figured prominently) and media formats—most of the works featured oversize VHS cassettes in sleeves that had been constructed from combinations of photographic prints, painted elements, and drawings, all mounted on large panels. These handsome, Pop-inflected assemblages Willie Stewart, TOTAL youth, 2019, ink and color were the equivalents of mixtapes in an pencil on cotton board, pigmented ink-jet print and acrylic on polystyrene board, and acrylic on canvas expanded field, deploying art and music to over panel, 60 1⁄4 × 40 × 8". seduce the viewer with their silent objecthood. The VHS sleeves were adorned with handpainted brand names (Polaroid, a fitting reference to immediacy and to fugitive materials, appeared more than once) and alluded to iconic album covers, which were here rendered as if decorative stickers. TOTAL youth, 2019, featured a small painting of New Order’s 1983 Power, Corruption & Lies LP, with its pale-pink still life borrowed from A Basket of Roses, Henri Fantin-Latour’s 1980 nature morte; this was accompanied by a version, in negative, of Raymond Pettibon’s cover for Sonic Youth’s Goo (1990).
