Items for Consent: 1. Minutes from the Closed Session held on June 22, 2018 2. Minutes from the Regular Meeting held on June 22, 2018 3. Certificate of Treasurer for March 2018 [Resolution 18-08-01] (Appendix A) 4. Certificate of Treasurer for April 2018 [Resolution 18-08-02] (Appendix B) 5.

Contract and Grants Proposals and Awards for June 2018 [Resolution 18-08-05] (Appendix E) 8. Delegation/Administrative Reports – 05/25/18 to 06/29/18 [Resolution 18-08-06] (Appendix F) 9. Faculty and Staff Adjustments [Resolution 18-08-07] (Appendix G) 10. Report of Investments for March 2018 [Resolution 18-08-08] (Appendix H) 11. Report of Investments for April 2018 [Resolution 18-08-09] (Appendix I)

Information Item: 12. USU Policy 505 – Employee Gifts and Awards revision (Appendix J)

Action: Trustee Nixon moved to approve the Consent Agenda. Trustee Butterfield seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

IV. ACTION AGENDA

Provost Galey presented the academic proposals. Trustee Alder explained the new academic committee process.

1. Proposal from the Department of Languages, Philosophy and Communication Studies to offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Portuguese [Resolution 18-08-10] (Appendix K)

The committee met with the department head and the lead professor for the program for further clarification of the proposal. The committee is supportive of the program and recommended approval.

Action: Trustee Holland moved to approve the proposal from the Department of Languages, Philosophy and Communication Studies to offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Portuguese. Trustee Nixon seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

2. Proposal from the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost that the USU Moab Education Center be designated a Utah State University Regional Campus in Moab [Resolution 18-08-11] (Appendix L)

This elevation in name from an education center to a regional campus is appropriate for the Moab Center. The Center is led by an executive director, a leadership position usually reserved for the regional campuses. The Center shares a variety of characteristics with the USU regional campuses located in Brigham City, Tooele and the Uintah Basin. It is evident that the collective nature, function, behavior, and scale of operation of the USU Moab campus is more consistent with that of a regional campus instead of an education center. A new building in Moab is on the horizon.

Action: Trustee Ferry moved to approve the proposal from the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost that the USU Moab Education Center be designated a Utah State University Regional Campus in Moab. Trustee Alder seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

V. Workshop

1. Risk Assessment: David T. Cowley, Vice President for Business and Finance

Vice President Cowley explained the importance of looking at university-wide risk assessment. Risk assessment in this area is different in scope than that of the Audit Committee. Vice Presidents/Deans were tasked with identifying and ranking the top ten risks of their divisions. It became clear that this evaluation needs to be done separately by the Vice Presidents and Deans. Risk assessment is valuable and will be looked at from a balanced top and bottom view. A report will be presented to the Trustees and then to the Board of Regents.

2. Faculty Staff Equity and Implicit Bias: President Noelle E. Cockett

President Cockett spoke about discrimination and equity amongst different groups such as women and minorities. These issues are being studied on campus. Christy M. Glass, Department of Sociology, Social Work & Anthropology, has analyzed data regarding women and minorities. Ronda R. Callister, Department of Management, studies the impact of gender on careers. Callister had a NSF ADVANCE grant to look at gender inequities. It is important to look at the data and what is driving these issues. General Counsel McKinney added that equality and equity is a high priority at the University.

3. GRAMA and Open Government Training: Mica McKinney, General Counsel

General Counsel McKinney conducted annual training for Utah GRAMA and Open Government Training. Rules and procedures were discussed.

The following documents were given to the Trustees: • GRAMA and Open Public Meetings Training (Appendix M) • 52-4-204 - West’s Utah Code Annotated, Title 52. Public Officers Chapter 4. Open and Public Meetings Act (Refs & Annos) Part 2. Meetings (Appendix N) • 52-4-205 - West’s Utah Code Annotated, Title 52. Public Officers Chapter 4. Open and Public Meetings Act (Refs & Annos) Part 2. Meetings (Appendix O)

4. Marketing Committee Update: Jay Wright Director, Student Marketing & Communications

Director Wright gave an update on the ongoing “Aggie Impact Brand Campaign.” Three new video spots were shown. Information regarding the campaign including targeted audiences, media usage, and performance indicators were discussed. Ideas for future Aggie impact stories were presented. Trustees were invited to share their ideas.

Action: Trustee Butterfield made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Trustee Nixon seconded the motion; the voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

The meeting and workshop adjourned at 3:12 p.m.

ITEM FOR ACTION

Utah State University’s Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences proposes a new Hunger Solutions Institute in the manner described below.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences proposes a new Hunger Solutions Institute.

RECOMMENDATION

The President and Provost recommend that the Board of Trustees approve the proposal to offer a new Hunger Solution Institute in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences. RESOLUTION UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES

WHEREAS, Utah State University’s Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences proposes a new Hunger Solutions Institute, and

WHEREAS, The proposed institute will fill a vital gap in food security services provided in Utah, and

WHEREAS, The proposal has been approved by the academic dean, the Educational Policies Committee, and the USU Faculty Senate, and

WHEREAS, The proposal has been approved by the President and Provost of Utah State University;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Utah State University Board of Trustees hereby approve the proposal to offer a new Hunger Solutions Institute in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences and that notification of this proposal be forwarded to the Utah State Board of Regents of the Utah System of Higher Education.

RESOLUTION APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

______DATE:

New Unit Description - Abbreviated Template

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to establish Utah State University Hunger Solutions Institute effective 04/01/2018. This action was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Administrative Unit Description/Rationale Present a brief description of the unit. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at the action being proposed. Briefly Indicate why a new administrative unit or change to the unit is justified. Are similar units offered elsewhere in the USHE or the State? State how the institution and the USHE benefit from the proposed unit or unit change. Each year, more than 400,000 Utahns experience food insecurity. Food insecurity is defined as food intake or disrupted eating patterns in a household due to lack of money or other resources. This means that for whatever reason, a home or individuals who are food insecure may not have enough food, not have nutritious food, or have to resort to socially unacceptable ways of obtaining food (such as rummaging through the trash). Current efforts in Utah address food insecurity through public and private organizations; numerous agencies provide food, education, and advocacy. However, a closer examination of the efforts in Utah reveals there are three major obstacles that, once addressed, will aid in combatting food insecurity. First, there is a need to inform hunger-fighting organizations on best practices in addressing food insecurity. Second, there must be greater collaboration and cooperation efforts between public and private organizations. And third, a need to attack state, federal, and worldwide hunger problems using knowledge across academic disciplines to create a more broad approach in finding solutions to hunger. This third effort, to bring together colleges across the university campus, will help determine solutions to the world’s food supply and distribution concerns. And, at the same time, it will prepare students, the future professionals, to be well-equipped with a greater breadth of knowledge and experience in fighting hunger.

The Food $ense (SNAP-Ed) program, a part of USU Extension, recognizes these obstacles and proposes to establish the Utah State University Hunger Solutions Institute (HSI). The HSI would aggregate and disseminate best practices in fighting hunger, facilitate collaboration between existing agencies, and assist in creating an academic program (incorporating many colleges) to help USU students learn about food insecurity and contemporary best practices to address it.

The HSI would be housed in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences in the Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science department, and it would be led by a group of USU faculty – including researchers, professors, and Extension educators. The interdisciplinary group of researchers are currently funded by federal, state, and private grants to conduct research on the causes, impacts, and solutions to food insecurity. Educators involved in the HSI will provide current research to educate students, the public, and key stakeholders on the best practices to alleviate hunger. The HSI will be dedicated to achieving four main objectives:

1. Mobilize USU students to fight against hunger at the university, state, and federal level 2. Aggregate and disseminate the latest knowledge, research, and best practices to those who address hunger 3. Unite efforts and create multi-sector collaborations and coalitions to address Hunger in Utah, removing redundancies in work 4. Convene and educate professionals to make food security a priority in the state

The Hunger Solutions Institute objectives will be accomplished through a variety of means. First, the HSI will be led by an advisory council comprising of a diverse group of USU faculty members. This advisory council will include professors who research and practice in all fields pertaining to food production and distribution. The council will oversee the long-term vision and direction of the HSI. Second, to mobilize USU students to fight against hunger and to teach them the breadth of the issue, the HSI will create an academic program at USU, in the form of a hunger studies minor. The hunger studies minor will be a unique minor, offering students classes on the causes and solutions to hunger. One other minor at USU, the sustainable systems minor (offered by LAEP), does share a few classes on sustainability, which will be electives in the hunger studies minor. The core classes of the hunger studies minor will have a greater emphasis on food and nutrition than the sustainable systems minor. The most notable difference between these two minors is that the hunger studies minor will have a capstone project class at the end, giving students experience in addressing hunger in a population of their choice. We are currently working on distributing a survey to determine projected enrollment for the minor. Once complete, we will complete a report on the demand of the minor among USU students.

Next, the HSI advisory council will aggregate research on best practices by engaging in the national network of hunger researchers (such as those at Auburn University’s HSI). These best practices will be disseminated to community organizations in Utah through a listserv and housed on an HSI website. Through this website, findings from USU researchers will be shared, along with a list of organizations in Utah that work in the fight against hunger. This collection of research and summaries will provide useful information and a forum where organizations can share needs, thereby facilitating opportunities for collaboration between agencies. Another aspect of the HSI is the creation of the Annual Utah Hunger Dialogue. This conference will gather university researchers and leaders from around the state to educate one another, facilitate collaboration, and award mini-grants to encourage creation and growth of anti-hunger initiatives.

In order to achieve its objectives, the HSI will track and measure success in the following ways:

1. Mobilize USU Students- The HSI will track the number of students volunteering in HSI-created efforts and track the number of students enrolled in the Hunger Studies Minor. 2. Aggregate and disseminate knowledge- The HSI will track the number of people on the HSI’s mailing list, as well as hits to the HSI website. 3. Facilitate collaborations- The HSI will track the number and nature of partnerships facilitated and give a section detailing these partnerships on the HSI website. 4. Convene and educate professionals- The HSI will track the number of people that attend the yearly Utah Hunger Dialogue (conference) that the HSI is hoping to create.

By focusing on and tracking these objectives, the HSI will fill a vital gap in food security services provided in Utah. Currently, there is no program in the state that does what the proposed HSI will do. The State Nutrition Action Coalition (SNAC) and the Utah Breakfast Expansion Team (UBET) serve a similar purpose and were created, in part, by the staff at USU Food $ense (SNAP-Ed). But there is more that can be done; SNAC and UBET are just the beginning. Also, there is no academic program in the higher education system which focuses student studies on food insecurity in Utah.

The Hunger Solutions Institute will be housed at Utah State University under the USU Extension program Food $ense (SNAP-Ed), but it will be recognized as an independent and formal entity. This will permit the institute to seek funding outside the university, while at the same time, offer academic credit for students studying the issues of food security.

In the area of research, HSI will be, as the university is, dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, particularly in finding evidence-based, best practices in fighting hunger. The HSI’s educational efforts will foster the self-determination of interested students as they become concerned citizens and leaders with strong principles of service. It will do this by offering academic courses, service learning, and internship opportunities, as well as networking opportunities across department and college lines. HSI will utilize researchers, professors, and Extension educators to provide these evidence-based, best-practices, sharing knowledge with public and private agencies and fostering new partnerships both inside and outside the university.

The Hunger Solutions Institute has received support from the University President and Vice Provost, as well as, the Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science Department Head. USU is well positioned to develop a university-wide hunger institute, as the university is a state leader in research, agriculture, nutrition, natural resources and innovation. USU's colleges have more professors who research poverty, food systems, and hunger than any other university in the state. Additionally, USU Extension houses programs such as Food $ense (SNAP-Ed) and EFNEP, which work to improve food security and nutrition for low-income families in Utah. Furthermore, USU Cooperative Extension has 33 offices in 28 of the 29 counties in Utah. This provides greater reach and potential collaboration at the local level than other universities could offer. Utah State University’s academic profile and research capabilities coupled with these nutrition and Extension programs make it a perfect fit for HSI.

No new structures need to be built for HSI, nor is there a need to hire additional staff. Personnel already a part of the Food $ense (SNAP-Ed) program will have their workloads adjusted to administer HSI. The additional responsibilities include directing, creating and managing a website, locating and facilitating collaborations, overseeing communication via a listserv, organizing conferences, and assisting in the Hunger Solutions minor degree.

For funding the HSI's annual Hunger Dialogue Conference, there are two main plans for funding. The main hope for funding sources is by partnering with interested USU alumni and by creating an endowment fund. In seeking alumni funding, we will work with Michelle Merrill (the development office for the College of Ag) to find interested alumni with which to partner. Should that route fail, the next plan is to seek funding through USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) grants. The NIFA grants for which the HSI would be a good fit include the Community Food Projects Grant; Agriculture and Food Research Initiative; Food, Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Human Sciences Education and Literacy Initiative; and the Higher Education Challenge Initiative.

Thus, the University will bear no financial burden for the Hunger Solutions Institute. All operating funds will be sought and provided by sources outside USU. This includes faculty and staff salary, as well as, facilities and equipment needs. 12 October 2018

ITEM FOR ACTION

RE: Delegation/Administrative Reports – 06/29/18 to 08/24/18

Utah State University has been given authority by the Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) to exercise direct supervision of the design and construction of all alterations, repairs, and improvements to existing facilities on individual projects with budgets of less than $4 million. The supervision of new construction can also be delegated to USU on a project-by-project basis and can exceed the $4 million amount. As part of the delegation authority, administrative reports are prepared by USU and presented to the Utah State Building Board at each of its meetings. The monthly format of USU’s reports is similar to that of the DFCM’s reports presenting professional and construction contracts issued during the reporting period, contingency and project reserves status, and a delegated projects list showing budget and status. On a quarterly basis, additional reports are prepared showing contingency fund cumulative transfers, a summary of the statewide (paving) account, and a construction contract status. The Board of Regents has transferred its authority to review the delegation/ administrative reports to the Board of Trustees.

The reports have received the appropriate administrative review and approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the administrative reports for USU for the period 06/29/18 to 08/24/18.

ITEM FOR ACTION

RE: USU and USU Eastern Auxiliary and Service Enterprises Annual Reports for FY2017-18

The attached report of Auxiliary Enterprises Operations and Service Enterprises are submitted for the Trustees consideration. The reports have received the appropriate administrative review and approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Auxiliary Enterprises - Board of Regents Policy R550 requires Utah State University to submit an annual report of Auxiliary Enterprises operations. Auxiliary Enterprises are business enterprises or other support activities (as distinguished from primary programs of instruction, research, and public service) operated on an essentially self-supporting basis. The primary purpose of such operations is to provide specified services to students, faculty, staff, or guests of the institution. The Report of Auxiliary Enterprises Operations, summarizing actual totals for the fiscal year just ended, is part of the Board of Regents budget process. The Board of Trustees is responsible to review and approve the Report of Auxiliary Enterprises Operations.

Service Enterprises - Board of Regents Policy R220 delegates review and approval authority to the Board of Trustees for Service Enterprises reports, subject to being reported annually to the Board of Regents. Service Enterprises provide a specific type of service to various institutional departments, rather than to individuals, and are supported by internal charges to departmental operating budgets.

These reports present financial information for the Auxiliary and Service Enterprises at Utah State University and Utah State University Eastern.

The President and Vice President for Business and Finance recommend that the Board of Trustees approve the Auxiliary and Service Enterprises Annual Reports as presented. RESOLUTION UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES

ADVANCEMENT:

We will hold our next Foundation Board Meeting on Friday, November 30 at the Salt Lake City Taylorsville Campus from 8:00am - 2:30pm. This board meeting will focus on elevating the board experience and set goals for the evolution of the USU Foundation Board.

I am pleased to announce that Adrienne Larson, the CCA Director of Development, has been named the Sr. Director of Stewardship and Donor Engagement position. Adrienne has been an impressive development officer and amazing asset to the College of Arts. Adrienne brings with her 18 years of experience at USU, the successful completion of countless events and numberless fundraising achievements. While we are pleased with this change, we remain committed to CCA and will develop a smooth transition plan to allow the college’s fundraising momentum to continue. We are excited for the leadership, novel ideas and professionalism that Adrienne will undoubtedly bring to our stewardship program.

Reeher (a software platform that evaluates gift officer effectiveness and provides benchmarking against 145+ colleges and universities) announced its second annual Reeher Prime Officer Award for FY2018. This award recognizes the top 15% of gift officers in the Reeher Community as a result of thier analysis of activities of over 1650 gift officers. Prime Officers raise 3x the median and 1.5x the average of other gift officers. We are proud to announce that 7 of the 245 award winners came from USU. Brandon Monson (College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences), Lance Beckert (College of Education and Human Services), KC Smurthwaite (Athletics), Justin Barton (College of Humanities and Social Sciences), Adrienne Larson (College of Arts), Coleman Barnes (Athletics), and Andrew Dickinson (Athletics) were named Prime Officers!

The entire advancement team, over 50 of us, held a retreat in June. One of the significant activities was establishing a vision for advancement. Our aim was to create a concise and aspirational phrase that resonated with both internal and external audiences. We agreed on “USU Elevated through Philanthropy and Engagement.” You may notice that this phrase complements Utah’s life-elevated position and supports our statewide, land-grant mission.

Achieving a vision requires a plan. We have been steadily making progress towards our goals by using the roadmap below. Because I believe transparency and collaboration are critical for success, I frequently share the updated plan with President Cockett, our Advancement team and USU leaders. Below is our “Roadmap” for elevating philanthropy and engagement at USU.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Biennial USHE Security Assessment o Under the direction of the 8 CIOs in USHE, each institution contributes staff who spend a week in-person at each school evaluating technical and physical security. This service grows the skills of institutional staff in security assessment, creates and maintains a peer group of security professionals, and actively probes institutions biennially for security vulnerabilities to identify areas for improvement.

USU’s assessment this year identified a number of strengths and improvement recommendations. The dual-factor implementation (Duo) was successful in preventing 100% of compromise attempts for areas protected by that service. Service entries not protected by dual factor authentication did not fare as well. Social engineering attacks (including phishing) continue to be effective. USU is actively growing the number of systems protected by Duo and is also accelerating education and communication efforts regarding social engineering attacks, including a monthly security group meeting focused specifically on these efforts.

Approvals Aggregation Portal o In order to reduce “approval fatigue” and increase administrative efficiency and attention, IT has aggregated common systems requiring approval actions into one notification portal. https://approve.usu.edu shows in real time which systems require action and enable single- click entry to those approval areas without additional login.

REAL PROPERTY o Annually Utah State University is required by Board of Regents policy R705, Leased Space to report details of current leasing arrangements. For the Board of Trustee’s information, following is a copy of the report.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES OPENS THE AGGIE CHOCOLATE FACTORY The Aggie Chocolate Factory opened its doors for a public “sneak peek” during College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences Week, and the factory is set for opening in mid-October. The workings of the chocolate factory are visible behind a glass wall in the restaurant area of the Aggie Blue Square complex just west of the Maverik Stadium. It is an unusual combination of public space and working laboratory. Students in Dr. Silvana Martini’s chocolate course began attending lab sessions at the factory in late September. The popular class, which is a general science credit, is not a time to sample chocolate a few times a week (to the surprise of some students) as the curriculum covers food chemistry, sociology, physiology related to sensory reactions to food, international agricultural trade, and economics. Graduate researchers will also use the factory as a laboratory space. “The factory will serve several purposes, but it is first a laboratory for students in food science,” said Professor Martini. “It will also facilitate research and outreach to the confectionary industry. This will be the only chocolate factory at a university in the western United States, and people in the industry are excited about the opportunities for short courses and working with us to produce certain flavor profiles.” The factory imports fair trade cacao beans from several countries by working with small farmers and grower co-operatives. The factory will process chocolate from bean to bar, creating several products, including a selection of bars under the label “Thistle and Rose” with varying percentages of cacao. Later, the factory will provide the chocolate used in Aggie Ice cream and a chocolate café will feature chocolate pastries and drinks and short courses will be offered for confectioners.

USU EXTENSION FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING UTAH’S RURAL ECONOMIES A new pilot program has been implemented by USU Extension to help residents in the southern counties develop the necessary skills to compete for remote employment. With the goal of strengthening the economies of rural Utah, the new Rural Online Initiative (ROI) was funded by the legislature in 2018 to help people develop the skills to seek competitive remote jobs without leaving their counties. The initiative is the brainchild of Darin Bushman, county commissioner in Piute County, who is in one of the smallest, most poverty-stricken counties in Utah. He discovered that while there were very talented people in the county, many were underemployed, unemployed, had dropped out of the workforce or were geographically bound because a spouse was employed in the county, but there were no employment options for them. It seemed that USU Extension would be the perfect fit to be the “home” for the program because of its county outreach programs. After meeting with Vice President Ken White and discussing concerns and ideas, the ROI was born. The premise is simple – educate, coach, mentor and teach rural businesses and members of the workforce so they can take advantage of online opportunities. The program will also target high school students nearing graduation who are not pursuing higher education, which could help reduce the net migration from rural Utah counties. The Rural Online Initiative, House Bill 327, was sponsored by Representative Michael Noel, with Senator David Hinkins as the floor sponsor. Bushman and Commissioner Victor Iverson from Washington County successfully lobbied for it. It was signed into law by Governor Herbert during the 2018 legislative session. https://le.utah.gov/~2018/bills/static/HB0327.html

The Aggie Brand: Utah State Officials Closely Police Use of Aggie Name and Trademarks – Herald Journal – April 14, 2018

Sam Park, owner of Sushi Go, doesn’t have to look far to be reminded of his 6- year-old daughter when he is at work. Drawings by her cover a portion of the wall at his restaurant. Those drawings are scribbles of different sorts, but many of them include the words “Aggie Sushi,” the original name of Park’s business. … The decision to change the name of his establishment did not initially come from Park — it came from Utah State University, which has the word “Aggie,” among others, trademarked. Sushi Go is just one example of entities throughout the community that contained or currently contain a USU trademark. Aggie Auto Sales and the soccer team Aggies FC are prominent examples of entities that have worked out agreements with USU to use words trademarked by the university.

Female Faculty Underawarded Compared To Male Peers At Utah State University - UPR – April 16, 2018

In 2011, the Association for Women and Science published a paper claiming women were underrecognized when scientific organizations chose nominees and selected prominent scientists to award. When Dr. Helga van Miegroet, a professor emeritus at Utah State University, read the paper, she wondered if USU had the same problem. “I gathered all the data at the level of university awards and I also went to the individual STEM colleges and asked them to provide me with the names of the recipients. So I gathered nearly 600 data points with records going back as far as 1958,” van Miegroet said. … But on the university-level, it’s worse. “In the entire record of the university, only five women have ever received recognition for research achievement. Two of those are STEM women. Five women in the entire university have ever received recognition at the university level. Men are six times more likely to receive a research award than women are at the university level,” Van Miegroet said.

'Spread the Word': USU Student Veterans Raise Money for Wounded Warrior Project through Sandwich Activity – Herald Journal – April 16, 2018

Utah State University student Karlee Edwards was working in the Taggart Student Center on Monday and was asked by a colleague to go down the hall and get peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Edwards obliged, but she didn’t know making them would involve using her non-dominant hand. “This is not going to work,” she said to herself. But Edwards went ahead, spread some peanut butter and jelly on some white bread ― and gave a small donation to the Wounded Warrior Project, or WWP. “It

makes me have more respect for them, for sure,” said Edwards, referring to veterans wounded in combat. “It makes me … feel a little more grateful for what I do have and for what they sacrificed so that I can have freedom.” Members of the campus community were challenged by USU student veterans to make sandwiches the hard way and give back to the WWP. Jeffrey Buckman, a USU student and veteran who organized the event, said about $150 was raised Monday thanks to the students’ donations. He hoped to raise $500.

USU taps Wyoming Dean as New Executive Vice President – Deseret News – April 17, 2018

Francis D. Galey, who is a veterinarian and dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming, has been selected executive vice president and provost of Utah State University. Galey, a researcher, author, educator and veteran university administrator, succeeds Noelle Cockett, who left the position when she was named the 16th president of USU in January 2017. "He has had a distinguished and successful career as a faculty member and in university administration. The knowledge and experience he brings with him is a great next step for him and us," Cockett said in a prepared statement. He will be second in command and the university’s chief academic officer. Galey has extensive experience working at land-grant institutions, including 17 years as dean and oversight of the University of Wyoming Extension and Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station. These positions have prepared him well for the positions of provost and executive vice president at USU, he said in a statement.

Remote Sensing of Water Trends Yields Insight into Water Quality and Quantity – Science 360 News – April 20, 2018

Researchers at Utah State University have used aerial imagery to gain insight into water trends. Their method utilized specialized models to estimate river discharge by matching simulated and observed river width. The research team hopes this approach will help give scientists a better view of what is happening to the quantity and quality of water in smaller river basins.

USU Professor Working to Improve His “Smart” Antenna – Cache Valley Daily – April 20, 2018

Utah State University Electrical Engineer Dr. Bedri Cetiner has won a $750,000 grant to further develop an antenna technology he created. It is a technology that could revolutionize the mobile communications industry. He acknowledged that other research groups are working on these “smart” antennas. “But what distinguishes us from the others is that an antenna system may be considered to have two main modules: one is the software and the other is the hardware,” Dr. Cetiner explains. “So the legacy approach is to make the software intelligent while the hardware still doesn’t have any intelligence, they’re still using legacy antennas. “In our case we have both an intelligent software and intelligent hardware. The outcome of which is we reduced the cost of the system, at the same time we improved the performance.”

Utah State University Biology Professor Named To CalTech's Athletics Hall Of Honor – UPR – April 19, 2018

One Utah State University researcher who is used to being recognized for his pioneering as a scientist is now being recognized for his success as an athlete. Utah’s “spider-silk man” will travel from Logan to California for the honors. Randy Lewis is among five athletes who will be inducted into the fifth Caltech Athletics Hall of Honor Class at the institute’s annual scholar-athlete’s awards banquet in Pasadena, California. A native of Powell, Wyoming, Lewis was familiar with hard work raising farm animals and wrestling on the high school team. After high school, Lewis was accepted to the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “Once I got out there, I connected up with the wrestling coach," he said. "It turns out that for very strange reasons we had a number of people who came out for the wrestling team.” The next year the Caltech wrestling team won their first team championship. That would be followed by two conference titles in a row. Lewis was an individual champion all four years he studied at the institute. In sports, Lewis said, there has to be a champion every year. What made it significant for him and his team was that Caltech prioritized academics significantly more than sports.

The Matryoshka Effect: Researchers Describe Underwater Phenomenon – Phys.org – April 25, 2018

Researchers at Utah State University are sending cascades of water into a tank to uncover a mystery of fluid dynamics. After a yearlong research study, the team of engineers and fluid dynamicists unraveled the physics behind a unique underwater phenomenon that's been likened to the Matryoshka doll—the traditional Russian doll within a doll. In a study published last week in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, researchers from USU's Splash Lab describe what happens when rapid-succession water droplets impact a calm surface and create a cavity of air beneath the water. "When a stream of droplets hits the surface, it pulls air under and creates an air-filled cavity," says lead author and PhD candidate Nathan Speirs. "The shapes of the cavities vary based on the impact parameters such as the diameter of the droplet and the speed at impact." When a continuous stream of water—a jet—impacts the water surface, it forms a cylindrical-shaped, deep, narrow cavity. When slow-succession droplets impact the water, they form individual cavities that close and collapse before the next droplet hits. The Splash Lab team wanted to know what happens when rapid-succession droplets impact the water. The result is a unique series of cavities within cavities that creates a ribbed appearance.

USU Goats’ Milk Produces Material as Strong as Spider Webs – KSL News – April 25, 2018

There is something very different about the goats at Utah State University’s south farm in Wellsville. For starters, the nearly two dozen animals are called ‘spider goats’ and it is not because of their looks or personality. They earned that title because their milk produces a special protein that can be turned into a material just as strong as a spider’s web. “I get asked if they shoot out spider’s webs,” USU Agriculture Science student Savannah Callahan laughs as she milks a goat. “I know a lot of people do think there is a difference,

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

but really it’s just there is spider protein in their milk." Callahan spends a couple of days a week with the animals, and said just by the looks of it, you wouldn’t know they produce such valuable material. … Through a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer, these goats inherited a gene that gives their milk a certain protein that scientists make into a variety of strong materials. “We purify the milk’s protein and we spin fibers or make gels or coatings or whatever else we want from that,” USU Biology professor Randy Lewis said. “We can make things like strong adhesives, stronger than Gorilla Glue, and materials that can replace carbon fiber,” he said. “You can actually wrap this around 360 degrees, and it won’t break.”

Late Matthew Hillyard Honored with new USU classroom – Herald Journal – April 26, 2018

When Alice Hillyard had her son, Matt, and doctors told her he had Down syndrome, she had never heard of it. “I was shocked,” Alice said in an interview. Not even a year old, Matt was in the hospital, facing a major operation. But even in that time of turmoil, Alice and her husband, Logan attorney and state Sen. Lyle Hillyard, decided to give back by establishing a Utah State University scholarship in their son’s name. On Wednesday, Alice watched as USU recognized an undergraduate as the latest recipient of the Matthew David Hillyard Scholarship. Matt passed away earlier this year. But school officials also had something for Alice — a copy of the name plate for a room within the Sorenson Legacy Foundation Center for Clinical Excellence, scheduled to open next week. The room is named after Matt and will house the Aggies Elevated program, which gives college-age adults with disabilities the chance to live on campus and earn a certificate from USU. “I’m overwhelmed with it. You just don’t expect those kind of things,” said Alice, referring to the room named after her son.

Utah State University Equine Student Breaking Barriers – UPR – April 26, 2018

One Utah State University student in the Equine Science Program has unique challenges, but he is changing the way people like him work with horses. This student is not letting any challenges get in the way of his love for horses and life. Jack Charlesworth from Pleasant Grove, Utah knows what it means to get bucked off and get back on. “At four months old I got a spinal infection which left me paralyzed from the chest down,” Jack said. Have you let that stop you? “No, I don’t. I hunt, I fish, I’m trying to be on the paralympic archery team. I do whatever I want.” … Now Jack is helping USU equine researchers help people like him care for their horses. His wheelchair, which was manufactured by the USU Assistive Technology Lab, has a hydraulic system that helps him do basic jobs like grooming. It’s also equipped with wider tires for the arena so he can train the horses. The arena sand has chopped up sneakers in it. That helps Jack’s wheelchair move around the arena a little easier. “I’m very excited to be a part of the program, being able to make it more accessible for other people to go out and work the horses instead of just being stuck on the sidelines watching,” Jack said.

It’s early morning, and campus is still quiet. A handful of students walk up Old Main Hill, last night’s sleep still hovering just under their eyes as they make their way to their first class of the day. The last student of the bunch catches the drifting door handle as another student darts inside. He pauses to look over his shoulder at the stretch of mountain peaks lining Utah State’s Logan campus. Might as well be a postcard, he thinks to himself, grinning toward the horizon. Then he turns into the doorway, stepping inside to begin his freshman year at USU. … It’s early morning, and campus is still quiet.

USU educators needed a solution that wouldn’t require professors and lecturers to alter their teaching style, while ensuring every note, annotation, and diagram is legible for all USU students. Ideally, USU would also implement the same digital solution in their 300-400-person lecture courses to increase visibility and engagement for students sitting in the back of large lecture halls. Throughout the digital transformation process, USU emphasized using innovation to empower professors, ultimately allowing them to deliver consistently engaging classroom experiences to every student regardless of location. As such, USU needed a solution that was easily adaptable, with straightforward technology that could be used by educators with a range of technical expertise.

New Interdisciplinary Facility to Serve Researchers and Community - UPR – April 27, 2018

A 100,000-square-foot clinic is opening in Logan. The Sorenson Legacy Foundation Center for Clinical Excellence is designed to serve as many as 5,000 clients of varying abilities each year. Beth Foley is Dean of Utah State University's College of Education and Human Services. Foley realized during the planning process that she wanted to do something unique, something special, as a way of introducing the public to the new center. She and organizers of the event have arranged for London street dancer and choreographer Chris Fonseca to perform at the opening. "He is going to be doing some hip-hop dance classes Tuesday night. He happens to be deaf but he had a passion for dance and he became a professional dancer and choreographer and has a really inspiring story. It's a story of empowerment and drive and not letting limitations get in the way of your dreams," Foley said. …"The purpose of our new facility is to help people reach their full potential. So we do a lot of work with individuals who have a variety of disabilities and our focus is always on helping people maximize their talents and be fully included in the community," she said The Center features specialized classrooms, an advanced nursing simulation lab, a hydrotherapy pool, a speech-language clinic, a memory clinic, early childhood education classrooms, a movement research clinic, a hearing and balance clinic and behavioral health services.

In addition, Extension operates the Ogden Botanical Gardens, Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter, the USU Botanical Center and has partnerships with several other centers and gardens around the state. Below are highlights of the winning programs.

USU to Create New Vice President Position - Herald Journal – May 1, 2018

Utah State University wants to add a new member to its administrative team, one who would oversee communications strategy for the school at a time when it has been deploying it often. USU President Noelle Cockett told faculty senators Monday that the school would initiate a search for a vice president who would “lead our marketing, communications and PR oversight for the university.” She said she wants to fill the position by the fall. Tim Vitale, executive director of public relations and marketing, told The Herald Journal the position has been tentatively named “vice president of marketing and communications” — though he cautioned that the name could change and a job description for the position has yet to be written. USU’s eight colleges already have their own communications employees, and the new administrator will be charged with ensuring more coordination across colleges, Cockett said. But it’s USU’s public relations and marketing office that is most closely tied to campus administration, dealing with branding, media relations and crisis communications. That office would report to the new administrator, too, Cockett said. “I would see that each of these people continue … but it’s a more holistic input” with the inclusion of a administrator, the USU president said.

USU Begins Audit of Differential Tuition Use, Processes - May 3, 2018

At the direction of its board of trustees, Utah State University is conducting an internal audit on its differential tuition, which has come under more scrutiny than usual over the past school year. USU President Noelle Cockett informed faculty members earlier this week that the Huntsman School will be first to receive an audit, and the review of other colleges and programs collecting differential tuition will follow. During the 2017-18 school year, six of the eight colleges at USU had at least some of their students paying differential tuition. “It will be on financial use — is the use of differential tuition in line with what the proposed uses were?” Cockett said. “And then operational — are they getting the councils or the advisory committees together to review what use is? How much input do students have in any kind of increase?” Differential tuition is more money per credit hour USU students pay depending on the college or program they are enrolled in. School administrators say this type of tuition is needed due to increasing costs in higher education and is part of a larger trend at colleges and universities nationwide.

77 years later, John Welch still Aggie Strong – Deseret News – May 4, 2018

Page | 6 Board of Trustees Report

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

In what may well qualify as some sort of world record, John Welch will sit on the stage in a position of honor Saturday at Utah State University’s graduation exercises — 77 years since he found himself in the very same place. Welch was valedictorian of the USU Class of 1941 and gave the commencement address. In 2018, he is one of four people the university has chosen to receive honorary doctorates. What he’s been up to in the years in between is something the 6,531 members of the Class of '18 would be well-advised to pay attention to. “It was Utah State,” says Welch in tribute, “that prepared me for everything that came next.” First came a four-year stint in World War II, where Welch served as an officer thanks to his ROTC training at USU (he was on the Austrian border when the war ended, instructing soldiers in anti-aircraft artillery procedures). That was followed by Harvard Law School, which he was accepted into after the war thanks to the GI Bill and his good grades at USU. (The former USU valedictorian picked Harvard after turning down a full ride offer from the law school at Cal-Berkeley). And that was followed by moving to Los Angeles and finding work at Latham & Watkins, a small law firm that had seven lawyers in 1948 when Welch was hired fresh out of Harvard. Today, Latham & Watkins has 2,600 lawyers in 14 countries, making it one of the six largest law firms in the world, with an annual revenue of more than $3 billion, which ranks as second highest. It was the Aggie John Welch who set up the partnership plan that helped launch Latham & Watkins into the giant it is today. He left the firm in 1990, but only because the bylaws required partners to retire the year they turned 70. The rule had been written years earlier — by Welch himself. “By the time I got to that age I was sorry,” he says wryly.

Utah State University Receives Funding to Expand Campus-Wide Composting – UPR – May 8, 2018

Utah State University is one of 19 universities being awarded the 2017-2018 PepsiCo Recycling Zero Impact Fund. The fund recognizes projects with green initiatives. Alexi Lamm is the sustainability coordinator at USU. She worked with the school's landscaping group and others to write the grant to expand USU’s composting capacity. “So the university has a composter that’s been operating for a few years and it’s been really successful," Lamm said. "I think we compost something like 29 tons of food per year and then we match that with a bulking agent which is woodchips.” The food waste and wood chips are sourced from USU’s campus to create a rich and organic mulch, used as top-dressing in the university’s garden beds. However, the addition of a wood grinder will diversify the use of the compost. … “If we can grind our wood chips up and make them smaller then we can actually create an organic fertilizer that we can spread on the grass,” said Shane Richards, the landscape operations and maintenance manager for USU. With the recent funding, he says the new wood grinder will be added in the next couple weeks.

USU Professor of Mormon History and Culture to Retire – Herald Journal – May 9, 2018

A Utah State University professor who was the first to hold an endowed chair in Mormon studies is retiring, the school has announced. Phil Barlow, the Leonard J. Arrington Endowed Chair of Mormon History and Culture, will retire Dec. 31. He has been at USU ever since the chair was created in 2007. In an interview, Barlow said he made the decision to officially step down from working at USU after Brigham Young University — where he has been since going on leave from USU last year — offered him a

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

position at its Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship. “I wouldn’t have left USU casually,” Barlow said. “But I have it in me to want a little more time to write some books that I haven’t had time to get at, and this new position is fundamentally a writing and research one instead of a teaching one.” The Leonard J. Arrington Endowed Chair in Mormon Studies is named after the late USU professor and historian for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The position was the first of its kind at a secular university. Upon his appointment, Barlow was tasked with teaching on the psychological, philosophical and artistic study of the LDS Church.

As a part of USU’s first distance cohort in the educational doctoral program, Black experienced firsthand earning a degree in the regional campus system. During his 22-year teaching career, he spent much of his time teaching via internet videoconferencing classes.

Great Salt Lake: A Lake No More? – Deseret News – May 10, 2018

There are two things the waters of the Great Salt Lake and agricultural lands have in common: they are both in steady, rapid decline. A three-day forum hosted by Friends of the Great Salt Lake at the University of Utah Officers Club is providing an in-depth look at the many challenges and unique attributes of a lake that delivers $1.3 billion in economic output — including the industry and recreation it supports. But it is a lake in trouble. In October of 2016, the lake reached its lowest level in recorded history — with its surface elevation at 4,191 feet. A report from Utah State University shows the waters of the Great Salt Lake have been reduced 48 percent since the arrival of pioneers. Its levels have dropped 11 feet since 1847.

USU Names New Engineering Dean – Deseret News – May 15, 2018

Research at USU Underway To Design New Military Aircraft – Cache Valley Daily – May 16, 2018

Utah State University faculty member Dr. Doug Hunsaker is starting a three year study in aerodynamics research aimed at developing the next generation of military aircraft. He said tomorrow’s combat aircraft will be more efficient and quieter and will likely have no tails. Really? ”Yep, that’s right. That’s what the Navy is pushing for, really the whole Department of Defense,” Dr. Hunsaker exclaims. “One of the biggest reasons is that it produces a smaller radar cross-section. So they are more stealthy.” The plan for the first two years of research is set. ”We will be doing a lot of computer simulations, a lot of the analytical development of these relationships between controllability and geometry of the aircraft. “Then the final year we actually hope to build a demonstrator, so this will be a small drone-sized aircraft, maybe eight or ten-foot wingspan that will demonstrate this technology. We’ll be able to fly it and basically show off that we were able to control this aircraft without a tail.” Hunsaker’s research is supported by a $510,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research.

'Being A Nerd Is Maybe Not So Bad' — 10,000 Kids See Physics In Motion At Lagoon - Deseret News – May 18, 2018

Eggs falling from the sky, fighting robots, myth-busting teens and thousands of kids riding roller coasters — sound like something straight out of a Pixar film? That was the scene Friday during USU Physics Day at Lagoon, now in its 29th year. “One of the best things, I think, for these kids is that they come down and see 10,000 other geeks, and they think, ‘Being a nerd is maybe not so bad,’” said J.R. Dennison, a professor in Utah State University's physics department and one of the event's coordinators. For one day every year, middle and high school students from around Utah and neighboring states converge on the theme park to put skills they've learned in the classroom to the test and to see physics in motion during what may be the most fun day in science class. Several activities took place Friday, including an egg drop contest, accelerometer contest, physics demonstration design contest, futuristic ride design contest, physics quiz bowl and robotics contests.

Regents Approve New 'President Emeritus' Policy - Herald Journal – May 18, 2018

The Board of Regents appointed Noelle Cockett Utah State University president, but even after she steps down, she could have a new title thanks to the board. The Regents approved a new policy Friday allowing them to give former college and university leaders who meet certain criteria “president emeritus” status. The board then named David Pershing, the recently departed president of the University of Utah, its first president emeritus. Dave Buhler, Utah’s commissioner of higher education, told

members of the board during its meeting at Salt Lake Community College that the new policy would provide a “system approach … on occasion, when appropriate,” a way to honor presidents who have done good work for their institutions. Melanie Heath, communications director for the Utah System of Higher Education, told The Herald Journal that the president emeritus recognition "will be designated from the Board of Regents moving forward." "This allows the qualifications to be standardized across the system of higher ed," she wrote in an email. That is significant, given USU has a policy which allows its Board of Trustees to designate professor emeritus to faculty. Former President Stan Albrecht is listed as an emeritus president and professor on the on the university's website.

Top Nitrogen Researchers Imagine World beyond Fossil Fuels - Phys.org – May 25, 2018

Freeways choked with traffic, supermarkets laden with fertilizer-grown stock from distance fields and virtually everything we touch derived from petroleum-based plastics. It's hard to imagine life beyond our fossil-fueled world. Now what? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. But not in the plaintive, unattainable way Bob Dylan expressed in his famous lyrics. Life-giving nitrogen flows all around us and, according to Utah State University biochemist Lance Seefeldt and other top scientists, it holds the key to sustainability beyond nonrenewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences gathered Seefeldt and 16 other experts in nitrogen research in Washington, D.C. for an October 2016 summit to discuss the current field of nitrogen activation chemistry and its future directions. The team reports their conclusions in a review article in the May 25, 2018, issue of the journal Science.

Summer Citizens Program Sees Increase in Participants, New Classes, Activities – Herald Journal – May 29, 2018

During a welcoming orientation on Tuesday, Jill and Dave Windahl were among the few who stood up in the packed Taggart Student Center Ballroom indicating they were newcomers to Utah State University’s Summer Citizens program. The couple from Tuscon said in an interview they enrolled to get away from the summer heat, try something their friends had suggested and, not surprisingly, learn something new. “It’s a chance for us to kind of stretch maybe phyiscally, but also mentally,” Dave said. “It may be tiring sometimes, but that’s OK.” Summer Citizens, founded in 1976, is a program for seniors that allows them to take courses from Utah State University professors and explore what Cache Valley and Utah have to offer. Though the concept never changed over the last 42 years, USU officials are touting good news and some of the program’s new offerings. Linda D’Addabbo, program coordinator for Summer Citizens, said the program has 783 registered participants this year. That’s more than a 100-person jump from the year before, she said. “Summer Citizens spreading the word is No. 1,” said D’Addabbo, when asked about the reasons behind the increase in participants this year.

Dead in the Water: Utah State Spider Silk Lab Awarded Navy Grant Aimed at Maritime Defense - Phys.org – June 1, 2018

Page | 10 Board of Trustees Report

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

Envisioning a device the U.S. Navy is developing with Utah State University synthetic spider silk conjures images you'd expect in a James Bond thriller. Think strong, stretchy fibers wrapping relentlessly around a boat propeller and effectively foiling nefarious efforts by smugglers, pirates or terrorists. That's what nonlethal Maritime Vessel Stopping Occlusion Technologies or 'MVSOT,' the official name for these types of devices, are intended to do. USU's Utah Science, Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative-funded Synthetic Spider Silk Lab is the recipient of a $420,000 grant from the U.S. Navy Division of Unconventional Warfare aimed at designing and developing these devices, as well as applying USU silk manufacturing technology to enable commercial-scale production of other biomaterials. Kevlar was the initial material used in MVSOT technologies, followed by superabsorbent polymers, leading to the current "polymer kelp" design. The Navy envisions stronger, more effective and environmentally friendly next-generation designs with spider silk and synthetic 'slime' derived from other proteins. MVSOT is currently deployed with pneumatic launchers. Future designs may use unmanned surface vessels or aerial drones. "This project has three major aims that will benefit the Navy and advance our research," says Randy Lewis, professor in USU's Department of Biology and lab director.

USU Research Vice President, Dean Leaving for Portland State – Herald Journal – June 6, 2018

In 2011, Mark McLellan was a stranger to Utah when he was hired on as Utah State University’s vice president for research and dean of the School of Graduate Studies, but he felt like he fit right in. At the time, USU had restructured to house its research and graduate student efforts under one roof, and McLellan, hailing from big-name schools like University of Florida, remembers then-President Stan Albrecht telling him he wanted to “try to make some magic happen here” with that new integrated approach. “That’s true,” McLellan said. “I think we have made some magic happen.” Those were reflective words from the outgoing USU administrator, who was announced Tuesday as Portland State University’s next vice president of research. He starts his new job Aug. 6, according to a press release.

USU art collection owes a lot to George Wanlass – Herald Journal – June 9, 2018

George Wanlass’s family tree is an impressive one, connecting him to some historical Cache Valley figures and arts benefactors whose names can be seen on the buildings of today’s Utah State University campus. Wanless is the great-grandson of John T. Caine II, one of the “founding fathers” of Utah State University. He’s also the son of Kathryn Caine Wanlass, the late boundless arts donor, and the nephew of Nora Eccles Harrison. Speaking of Harrison, Wanlass has been the chief collector of artwork for the USU museum named after his aunt Nora, or “Aunt Nonie,” as he liked to call her. Museum professional Bolton Colburn said Wanlass’s approach to collecting comes with an understanding that “the significance of work is not tied to its monetary value.” And, he said, Wanlass’s keen eye for art “steer him toward … artworks that have fallen by the wayside of art history.” Those comments are included in the new book, “Collecting on the Edge” — which explores more than 100 artworks within the museum, explained in essays by arts experts.

Her experience in Jordan will be critical for what she hopes to pass on to her students at USU.

USU Graduate Student Helps Produce Feature Film – Herald Journal – June 14, 2018

Last fall, Utah State University student Matthew Havertz was studying hard and feeling the stress. But he got a chance to relieve that stress in a special way: with some bragging rights. Havertz went down to Kayesville and watched the premiere of a movie he helped produce, called “Before Your Time” — which is set to make its Cache Valley debut on Friday. “I forgot about being a kid and having ambitions to do something fun,” Havertz said. His comment was a reference to the film’s plot, in which a recently widowed father and his children move back to his hometown to live with an in- law. The family soon discovers a “bucket list” in their aunt’s attic of things to do, and they set out to fulfill it. “The task is not as easy as it seems and ultimately teaches everyone about managing grief, moving forward and the importance of family,” a press release about the film states. “Before Your Time” was filmed entirely in Davis County, owing to the fact that the film’s director, Lucas McGraw, lives there. He made the film under the company Community Film Project with the intent to make movies within his community. McGraw said the initiative could eventually expand to other counties in Utah, including Cache and Rich.

USU Students Use VR to Develop Powder Mountain Resort Concept – Herald Journal – June 13, 2018

A Utah State University professor and his students used drones and a virtual reality program to develop a new resort concept for Powder Mountain, a popular skiing destination that straddles Cache and Weber counties. Over the last year, Benjamin George, assistant professor of landscape architecture and environmental planning, plus three graduate students used products from Intel and Puget Systems to create the conceptual resort in a way many design firms might not risk. “It’s definitely experimental,” George said. “If I’m a firm, do I want to put four of my employees for a year on developing this workflow? Financially, that’s just not going to fly.” George said Powder Mountain approached USU last year with the idea to design a new resort after it was purchased by Summit Mountain Holding Group. “They asked us to assist in developing ideas for what that development up at the top of the mountain should look like,” he said. Sam Arthur, director of design for Powder Mountain, said the goal is to “create a forward-thinking alpine town that helps people to be able to recreate

more than just in the winter.” “We have plans for our village center, and essentially, we delivered those to the students and to Ben and the whole team and said, ‘Hey, take a critical look at this and see if there are any other ideas or problems you could solve,’” Arthur said. “It’s not like they started from green fields and are helping to brainstorm the thing; they’re taking another look at it.” Even before Powder Mountain officials approached George, he was contacted by Intel to see if he was interested in collaborating with the company.

USU to Open Its Own Chocolate Factory – Herald Journal – June 16, 2018

Watch out, Willy Wonka! A new chocolate factory is coming. Utah State University announced this week it will open such a facility, the first of its kind for any university in the Western United States. “I don’t see it so much as putting our university ahead of others, as much as we can be a resource for those within the chocolate community, within an academic setting,” Steve Shelton, manager of the USU Chocolate Factory. “Word will get out, and it will become a vital resource for people.” A soft opening for the factory, housed inside the student residence hall Blue Square, is expected in the middle of next month, and a grand opening is scheduled for the coming fall semester. Once opened, the USU Chocolate Factory would compliment another food operation the school has long been well-known for — Aggie Ice Cream, which is sold on campus and at participating grocery stores. … The USU Chocolate Factory will be used for teaching, research and outreach. Setting it behind glass will allow members of the campus community and the general public to watch just how chocolate is made.

USU Biochemist Is On the Cutting Edge of Nitrogen Research – Cache Valley Daily – June 20, 2018

Utah State University biochemist Dr. Lance Seefeldt says that life-giving nitrogen holds the key to sustaining life beyond nonrenewable fossil fuel energy. He and 16 other experts in nitrogen research gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss the current field of nitrogen activation chemistry. “Nitrogen, the gas that’s in the air we’re breathing, is actually composed of two nitrogen elements that are held together by a triple bond,” Dr. Seefeldt explains. “It turns out that triple bond is really difficult to break. And that’s why we talk about ‘activation’. “What we’re doing is breaking that triple bond so that light can use that nitrogen to make proteins, to make DNA and RNA.” Scientists a hundred years ago pioneered a process to break nitrogen’s ultra-strong bonds to enable production of fertilizer which radically grew the global food supply. But that process consumes about two percent of the world’s fossil fuel supply. Dr. Seefeldt and his team have already pioneered efforts toward a clean and renewable light-driven process for converting nitrogen to ammonia, which is a primary component of fertilizer.

Yellowstone Elk are Skilled at Working Around Wolf's Schedule, Study Shows – Missoulian – June 24, 2018

Yellowstone National Park’s elk may not fear wolves as much as some scientists once contended. The idea that elk are so fearful that they run at the first sight of a wolf is based on the notion that the elk have no real defense, said Dan MacNulty, a Utah State Universityecologist. ... “Elk are very capable of defending themselves against wolves, even if they do encounter them,” MacNulty said. ... MacNulty and fellow USU ecologist Michel Kohl will have their research published in the journal “Ecological Monographs.” ... The researchers were trying to determine if the elk avoided areas out of fear of interacting with wolves. ...

Page | 13 Board of Trustees Report

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

Instead, what MacNulty and Kohl found was that the cow elk would avoid certain areas in the mornings and evenings — the times of day when wolves were the most active, according to GPS-collared monitoring. ... “An elk's perception of a place as dangerous or safe, its landscape of fear, was highly dynamic with 'peaks' and 'valleys' that alternated across the 24-hour cycle in response to the ups and downs of wolf activity." ... MacNulty admitted the study he co-authored is small, based on only 27 collared elk, even though earlier studies had made assumptions based on even smaller numbers. He considers the research to be the first step in what could be more analysis along the same lines, such as: Are older elk more fearful? How about cow elk with calves? ... "Although our study is the first to show how a prey animal uses predator downtime to flatten its landscape of fear, I suspect other examples will emerge as more researchers examine the intersection between prey habitat use and predator activity rhythms," Kohl said in the press release.

USU Receives $1 Million Grant to Create Native American Inclusivity Program – UPR – June 25, 2018

Last week, Utah State University received a million-dollar grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to create the new Mentoring and Encouraging Student Academic Success program to better support Native American students transferring to USU Logan from the USU Blanding campus. "The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Inclusive Excellence Program is intended to reduce the barriers to inclusion by students who might otherwise have challenges integrating into 4-year programs in STEM areas," said Al Savitzky, professor and department head in the department of biology at Utah State University and one of the leaders of this new program. Savitzky says Native Americans are underrepresented in STEM and higher education nationwide. ... The goal of this inclusivity program is to create a supportive and encouraging environment for Native American transfer students. ... The program has additional support to promote academic success for these Native American students. ... Savitzky echoes USU’s delight at this excellent opportunity to promote Native American representation in higher education.

Amazing Progress for Women's Leadership in Higher Ed – Salt Lake Tribune – June 25, 2018

Exciting things are happening in Utah in terms of gender and top leadership in higher education. Four of the eight public colleges and universities in Utah are now headed by women (once the new president of Utah Valley University arrives in September). ... In 2014, when we published our first educational leadership report, one in eight presidents were female (12.5 percent, Salt Lake Community College). When we released our 2017 report, Utah had two female presidents (25 percent, Utah State University and SLCC) and neither Utah private university (Brigham Young University or Westminster College) in our analysis had a female president. Today, 50 percent of the public colleges and universities are led by female presidents. ... I find it interesting that women presidents are leading the four largest public institutions in the state. Their leadership will be reaching the largest numbers of students in Utah. ... A 2017 national study released by the American Council on Education reported that women now comprise approximately 30 percent of college and university presidents across the United States (slightly higher for public

Geologists Detail Likely Site of San Andreas Fault's Next Major Quake – Phys.org – June 26, 2018

Back in 1905, the Colorado River, swollen with heavy rainfall and snowmelt, surged into a dry lake bed along California's San Andreas Fault and formed the Salton Sea. ... Utah State University geologist Susanne Jänecke began hypothesizing the location and geometry of the sediment-obscured fault zone more than a decade ago. After securing funding from the Southern California Earthquake Center in 2011, she, along with USU graduate student Dan Markowski and colleagues, embarked on the painstaking task of documenting the uplifted, highly folded and faulted area with geologic mapping and analysis. The geologists' persistence revealed a nearly 15.5-mile-long, sheared zone with two, nearly parallel master faults and hundreds of smaller, rung-like cross faults. ... Jänecke, Markowski, USU colleague Jim Evans, Patricia Persaud of Louisiana State University and Miles Kenney of California's Kenney GeoScience, reported findings in the June 19, 2018, online issue of Lithosphere, a publication of the Geological Society of America. ... "We now have critical evidence about the possible nucleation site of the next major earthquake on the San Andreas Fault," says Jänecke, professor in USU's Department of Geology. ... Among the tools Jänecke and her team used to identify the fault were high resolution aerial photography and false color imaging. ... "We need further study of the Durmid Ladder, the East Shoreline Fault and other fault zones of this area to identify the potential for surface-faulting hazards, ground sharing and cascading ruptures, to determine how to mitigate the risk posed by these important structures."

USU Extension Testing Grass Varieties for More Efficient Landscapes – UPR – July 3, 2018

Utah State University researchers are studying and testing varieties of grass for beauty and efficiency. ... “We do three things: teaching, research and extension,” said Larry Rupp, an extension specialist in landscape horticulture at Utah State University. ... According to Kelly Kopp, an extension water conservation and turf grass specialist, Kentucky bluegrass is the most popular grass used on landscapes in Utah. ... Because it’s used so extensively we do quite a bit of research here looking at varieties of Kentucky blue grass that use even less water. ... Kopp said some Kentucky bluegrass varieties currently being tested can withstand months without irrigation. ... We try to emphasize those sorts of things but with people so concerned about water we recognize that. We try to work with and develop these grasses that do use less water, particularly in the west.

Regents Place Restrictions USU Lobbying, Hosting Lawmakers – Herald Journal – July 21, 2018

Utah State University will have to cut back on expenses to host state lawmakers at certain school events, including sports. Not only that, but the university will be required to keep track of lawmakers’ attendance to some events or meetings and report it annually to Utah’s higher education governing board. Those are only a few of the provisions that stem from a new policy approved by the Board of Regents during a meeting on Friday at Southern Utah University. “This is something I feel is a very workable solution to a problem (that’s) come up,” Higher Education Commissioner Dave Buhler told members of the board during the meeting. ... Neil Abercrombie, USU vice president of government relations, expressed the same concerns over the governor’s executive order and applauded the commissioner for working out another solution. “That would have limited our ability to engage

with lawmakers — especially a school like Utah State,” he said. “The Regents’ policy set the right direction and addressed a few of those things.” According to the new policy, Utah’s public colleges and universities may continue to host legislators at institution-sponsored events and pay for their food and beverages in certain cases, including when it’s a function where all lawmakers are invited. Schools including USU “may pay travel and registration costs” for lawmakers attending meetings that address “specific policies and issues impacting public higher education,” according to the policy. Those meetings and expenses must be reported by institutions to the board annually.

Regents OK $1.8 Million Barn for USU's Equine Programs, Veterinary School – Deseret News – July 26, 2018

To facilitate a growing horse herd — and student body — Utah State University needed a new barn on its 26-acre South Farm. The Utah State Board of Regents recently authorized construction of the $1.8 million barn, which USU officials say is needed to serve its School of Veterinary Medicine and growing undergraduate equine programs. ... "Students in USU's School of Veterinary Medicine work with faculty who specialize in equine medicine, and they gain important experience with horses," said Ken White, dean of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences. ... The 20,000-square-foot metal barn will be designed, built, operated and maintained using institutional funds from the veterinary school. No state funds will be spent on the facility or its maintenance, according to Board of Regents documents. ... USU officials hope to break ground on the new barn this fall and complete construction by March. ... Equine Education Center manager D.J.

Anderson said interest in USU's Equine Science and Management program has grown since the start of USU's School of Veterinary Science in 2012, in a regional partnership with Washington State University. ... "Our extension equine programs for 4-H youth are growing, as well as the Extension Ride Utah program that helps military veterans and their families to share a trail ride and counseling to help with some difficult adjustments and emotional challenges," said White, who is also vice president of USU Extension.

Utah State University Joins Tinder, Swipes Right with Students – Fox 13 – August 9, 2018

Utah Utah State University announced they are now on the Tinder Dating App to help reach their students. USU’s Sexual Assault and Anti-Violence Information Office (SAAVI) Outreach and Prevention Coordinator, Felicia Gallegos, said instead of having pictures of people on their account, they have messages for healthy relationships and contact information for services. ... USU Sexual Misconduct Coordinator Amanda DeRito said there are lots of other changes coming to the university as well, including hiring new staffing in their Title IX Office. ... “We’re trying lot’s of different things,” Derito said. “What works for one student maybe won’t work for another one, so a multi-prong approach is really important.” Allison Allred, a Senior at Utah State, said the changes are much needed. ... Utah State isn’t the only university that needs to change. “They kind of have a long way to go before they really get it figured out,” Allred said.

USU Scientist Studies Cougars from Above Using NASA Satellites – Standard Examiner – August 9, 2018

Page | 19 Board of Trustees Report

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

To understand how climate change might impact mountain lions and other key wildlife species in the American Southwest, David Stoner looked to the sky.Specifically, he used NASA images to study the landscape and look for clues on the animals’ distribution. Stoner is a biologist in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University and one of the state’s top mountain lion experts. ... “When I talked to people about this, some were confused, they thought we were actually counting the animals from the imagery itself,” Stoner said. “That’s not the case here.” Even with high-resolution images, counting cougars would be tedious if not impossible, given their tawny camouflage. That’s why Stoner looked at vegetation instead. ... Since mule deer are herbivores, it follows that where there are more green plants, there are more deer. And where the deer go, cougars follow. ... He wanted to understand how climate change could impact their range in the future. He teamed up other scientists from Utah, Arizona and Nevada, as well as some geoscientists from Maryland, to analyze the Great Basin, the Colorado Plateau and the Mojave Desert ... The satellite study helps biologists like Stoner understand the way climate can work its way through the food chain. It also shows how climate change could lead to more conflicts with wildlife, particularly as human populations continue to grow in the West and development further fragments cougar and deer habitat. ... Stoner published his findings in the journal Global Change Biology this week. ... DWR is planning on doing its own study this winter, radio collaring females and kittens to better understand their survival rates.

Will 'Space Force' Impact USU Science? – Herald Journal – August 11, 2018

It’s not a sure thing that the White House’s proposed Space Force will achieve lift off, so to speak, but that is not stopping Cache Valley observers of U.S. space efforts from talking about it. A professor in Utah State University’s mechanical and aerospace engineering department has some thoughts on what it might mean to have a sixth branch of the military devoted to protecting the nation above Earth. Officials at the university’s Space Dynamics Lab, however, are uncertain about what it will mean for SDL’s duties if the Space Force gets congressional approval. SDL, a University-Affiliated Research Center for the Department of Defense, designs, tests and builds sensors and other support systems for all branches of the military. ... “While it is too early to know what relationship SDL may have with the Space Force, we will continue to work with our government partners when appropriate,” Eric Warren, a spokesman for SDL, wrote in an email to The Herald Journal on Friday. ... Current Secretary of Defense James Mattis urged Congress last year to “reconsider the proposal of separate service Space Corps,” saying it was “premature” and would conflict with his efforts to “reduce overhead” in his department. ... While Mattis has expressed support for a Space Force since Pence’s announcement of it, observers of the U.S.’s space efforts, including USU professor Stephen Whitmore, have lingering questions about this proposed military branch. ... Whitmore said it’s also questionable whether a “separate force … is really going to help the war-fighter readiness." Then again, Whitmore said, maybe a Space Force would be helpful since NASA is underfunded.

USU Caine College Founding Dean to Step Down Next Year – Herald Journal – August 14, 2018

Craig Jessop, the first dean to lead Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts since it was created almost a decade ago, announced Tuesday his intention to step down next year and return to faculty. A USU news release stated Jessop would no longer be dean as of June 1, 2019, and take a yearlong sabbatical before returning in the fall of 2020 as a professor in the department of music. ...

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

Jessop said the things he and his team have accomplished — including last year’s opening of a newly renovated Chase Fine Arts Center — led him to the decision to leave his post as dean. ... Jessop said he’ll continue to live in Cache Valley and direct the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. ... When he returns to the USU faculty, he’ll teach choral music and start a new graduate program in choral conducting. “I’m excited to be a member of the faculty and serve,” Jessop said. ... Jessop was appointed dean of the college in 2010, when USU took the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and split it into two new colleges — the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Caine College of the Arts. ... I really know already we’re stronger, and we will be stronger, so whoever succeeds me will inherit a much stronger, richer culture..."

Defense Bill to Transfer Federal Land for USU Space Dynamics Research – KSL – August 14, 2018

The defense spending bill President Donald Trump signed Monday includes a provision to transfer Forest Service land to Utah State University for space research. The legislation will convey 80 acres in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest to the Utah State University Research Foundation. The university’s Space Dynamics Laboratory, NASA and other organization have used the land since 1966. “There’s no sense in hampering the SDL’s mission with needless bureaucratic burdens. This bill will allow Utah State to focus federal resources on the lands that matter most while encouraging research on human space exploration,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who advanced the proposal.

USU Launches True Blue Aggie Fridays – Statesman – August 24, 2018

Utah State University will launch a weekly tradition of True Blue Aggie Fridays starting August 31.

By wearing university colors, participants are eligible to win prizes and be featured on USU’s social media if they use #truebluefriday when posting photos. A presidential decree signed in July encourages “all faculty, staff, alumni, students, and Aggie Family members to wear apparel bearing the colors and insignia of the university.” In the decree USU notes the new tradition reinforces its mission and helps to “promote and market the educational experiences” at the university.

USU Community Members Use Candles to Mark School Year's Start – Herald Journal – August 28, 2018

Utah State University alumna Erika Norton Mikkelsen remembers calling up her parents to tell them she had decided her major: anthropology. ... During the annual event “Light on the Hill,” sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Mikkelsen explained to students the benefits of choosing a major from the college she graduated from. “The great thing (is) these are degrees to everywhere,” she said. Light on the Hill gets its name from the fact that it’s conducted on Old Main Hill at the start of every school year, a time for students, faculty and staff to come together and listen to encouraging speakers while holding lit candles as the sun sets. ... CHaSS Dean Joe Ward told The Herald Journal the food and learning about activities were important parts of the event.The candle lighting brought something else — “a ritual moment,” particularly for new students. ... Although the event featured CHaSS employees and alumni, many of the students who

Eidenschink sat down in her office in the Taggart Student Center on Thursday afternoon for an interview with The Herald Journal.

USU Extension Focuses on Strengthening Utah's Rural Economies – Cache Valley Daily – September 7, 2018

As many rural Utah residents are struggling with unemployment or underemployment, a new pilot program has been implemented by Utah State University Extension to help residents in the southern counties develop the skills needed to compete for remote employment. With the goal of strengthening the economies of rural Utah, the new Rural Online Initiative (ROI) was funded by the legislature in 2018 to allow people to develop skills so they can seek competitive remote jobs without leaving their counties. The initiative is the brainchild of Darin Bushman, county commissioner in Piute County, who was elected to office in one of the smallest, most poverty-stricken counties in Utah. ... Bushman said the idea was presented to local chamber members and other elected officials with positive response. However, finding the right organization to be the “home” for the program was a challenge. With input from another commissioner, it seemed that USU Extension would be the perfect fit because of their county outreach programs. ... White said USU Extension is in a prime position to leverage its presence in rural Utah to help residents become better equipped to work as remote employees. ... The Rural Online Initiative will host town hall meetings to attract community support and clients. Some counties will have workshops, meetings and resources available this fall, while other counties will start in 2019.

Executive Director: Tim Vitale

school’s Caine College of the Arts, asked Dougherty to come construct the sculpture. Jessop said Dougherty’s appearance is “the grand finale” of USU’s “Year of the Arts.” ... Asked what he wants the campus community to get out of it once it’s completed, Dougherty said the sculpture is designed to be more interactive rather than something they can stand back and look at. ... Dougherty said because of its materials, the sculpture is only expected to last two years.

USU's Aggie Blue Bikes Providing Free Services to Community – Herald Journal – September 12, 2018

Aggie Blue Bikes at Utah State University is now offering its repair services for free on certain days to the public.Meg McCarthy, program coordinator for Aggie Blue Bikes, said anyone — whether they’re students or not — can come in Monday and Wednesday between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to get expert service without paying a $6/hour fee. ... Aggie Blue Bikes seeks to teach people, primarily students, how to repair their own bikes rather than just providing the typical drop-off repair service. ... McCarthy said the $6-an-hour fee for community members during regular business hours is because Aggie Blue Bikes’ is “here to service the students first.” ... “They can come here, and we can help them and empower more people through biking,” McCarthy said.

USU Water Lab Tests Archimedes' Screw for Pacific Northwest Company – Herald Journal – September 13, 2018

Centuries ago, the Greek mathematician Archimedes invented a machine that could take water from a low-lying body and transfer it to a higher one, eliminating the need for people to carry buckets of water. These days at Utah State University’s Water Research Lab, that invention, known as the Archimedes’ screw, is getting a “new twist,” according to a university news release. Research Professor Michael Johnson and his team have been testing a prototype of the Archimedes’ screw ... In an interview with The Herald Journal on Thursday, Johnson said the groundbreaking aspect of the prototype being tested at the USU Water Lab is not in its purpose, but the materials that are used to make it. ... Johnson said testing this prototype Archimedes screw over the last several weeks has demonstrated to engineers at the USU Water Lab just how good this lighter material is. ... “The Water Lab is one of very few facilities in the country that can provide the flow rates we needed for testing in a controlled laboratory environment,” Atkin wrote.

USU's New Prevention Specialist Outlines Ways to Stop Sexual Violence – Herald Journal – September 24, 2018

Before coming to Logan to start her new job at Utah State University, Emmalee Fishburn taught Colorado middle- and high-school students about healthy relationships and other aspects of sex education. Fishburn realized that colleges and universities teach many of those same things, in addition to sexual violence prevention. ... Using data to evaluate programming and finding new ways to prevent and respond to sexual violence on campus are just a few of the things Fishburn is doing as USU’s prevention specialist, a new position for the school. ... Fishburn’s position, based in the Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity office, was created at the request of a university working group that reports to the Sexual Violence Task Force, according to Amanda DeRito, USU’s sexual misconduct information and outreach coordinator. ... The task force has implemented numerous initiatives to prevent and respond to sexual violence, mandatory sexual assault prevention training for all freshmen, and public information campaigns about consent and bystander intervention. “It’s not that we haven’t had some resources on campus — we just need someone to spearhead all of these efforts across campus and make sure we’re doing it in the most organized and effective way,” DeRito said. USU has just filled the slot of prevention specialist with Fishburn, but it’s also working to hire full- time AA/EO and Title IX coordinators.

Focus of Student Affairs

The mission of the Division of Student Affairs is to inspire, engage, and challenge our students through inclusive, holistic, student-centered programming. This report highlights the efforts of one of our departments to support student development and leadership, facilitate co-curricular student success, and enhance the Aggie experience.

Department Reports:

Student Involvement & Leadership Center

USUSA Student Officers - The Utah State University Student Association (USUSA) student government serves as a liaison between students, staff, faculty and administration. USUSA has four bodies: Executive Council, Regional Campuses Executive Council, Academic Senate and the Student Event Board. These student leaders have been busy laying the groundwork for support and success of Utah State University’s student body. “Unity in Diversity” is their theme this year. The goal is to foster relationships between students, to let them know USU is a safe place and everyone has value on all of our campuses. Alongside their theme, they are focusing on campus safety, voter registration and providing opportunities and events to students. USUSA leaders continue to work with legislators to boost mental health awareness at USU and throughout the state. They have tracked attendance at co-curricular activities on campus and through Point Propensity Score Matching (PPSM) research have shown that students attending one or more of these activities receive a ~4% lift in retention. This translates to 118 students retained each year or $765,003.44 annually in tuition. The USUSA collectively logs thousands of service hours while engaging students and creating an exceptional campus community.

Student Media - USU Student Media continues to grow and be recognized for its award- winning content. In 2018, the content created by students in USU Student Media won 29 awards and was recognized regionally, nationally and internationally. Students were finalists for an international award with Investigative Reporters and Editors for their student investigative journalism in the small circulation division. The Utah Statesman was awarded best Utah newspaper in the small newspaper division by the Utah chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Aggie Radio 92.3 FM is now an affiliate for USU athletics coverage and is giving students opportunities to broadcast play-by-play. Students from our program have earned internships and jobs with organizations like the Deseret News, The Salt Lake Tribune, Qualtrics and other companies within the region. Our student media programs are operated entirely by students. They exist to inform, educate, and entertain both the students of USU and the surrounding community.

Fraternity & Sorority Life – Our fraternities and sororities continue to enhance students’ college life through service, academics, leadership, campus involvement and growth. USU currently has 11 active chapters on campus. The university recently hired a new fraternity and sorority life coordinator, Paige Eidenschink. This was done in part to address one element of the July 2018 Hewlett lawsuit settlement. Since then, a group of university staff and administrators have been meeting weekly to discuss the settlement and work to fully implement the changes which will apply to all clubs and organizations by Fall 2019. There is also a student committee that meets bi-weekly made up of fraternity and sorority representatives. Items discussed by the university staff and administrators group are then brought to the student committee to receive their feedback. President Cockett is providing funds to create and provide new programming opportunities for our fraternity and sorority community. With the additional funds, Greek Leadership Weekend will take place in October, and members are excited to see this come back. The Fraternity and Sorority Life coordinator is looking forward to creating programming that will foster academic excellence, fraternal relationships and campus/community engagement.

Spirit Squad – The USU Spirit Squad supports the mission of the Athletics Department by motivating, inspiring, entertaining, and generating crowd enthusiasm at Utah State athletic events, alumni events and community appearances. They promote Aggie pride through service, traditions and activities throughout the university and community. The Spirit Squad is composed of the Aggiette Dance Team, Co-Ed Cheer Squad, and the university mascot – Big Blue. Last year our 28-member Spirit Squad accumulated over 700 hours of community service on top of their regular daily practice and intense game schedule. Some of these service hours were spent visiting a pediatric cancer hospital while at the bowl game in Arizona, painting a homeless shelter while in Las Vegas for the Mountain West Conference Basketball tournament, and talking to kids about the importance of being an “Upstander” at a leadership conference for middle school age youth.

USUSA Clubs - USUSA clubs and organizations sponsor between 70 to 200 approved clubs on campus at any given time. These clubs provide hundreds of events for thousands of students each year. These clubs provide service, involvement, and academic opportunities to students across campus. Students learn important leadership and management skills from a variety of their peers.

The HURD -The HURD Committee conducted market research for the first time this year regarding its creation and production of the annual Gameday shirt. This led to a higher quality shirt, which in turn led to a dramatic increase in sales compared to last year’s shirt. The HURD Committee also implemented a new program this year called HURD Premium. At a cost of $25, this optional program offered to students provides early game entry, various promotional benefits and access to away game tickets and transportation. All 500 spots were filled prior to the first home football game of the season, and the early feedback from students participating in this program has been overwhelmingly positive.

USUSA Report to the Board of Trustees

ULA (Utah Leadership Conference) May 15-18

Utah Leadership Academy was held this year in Cedar City at Southern Utah University. We had USUSA Officers, Regional Campus Officers, and international student leaders collaborate with other student leaders from universities from across the state. The focus was learning about our positions and helping our student bodies and networking with other students with similar roles. There was a lip sync battle as well between all the schools where USU came on top with the first- place finish.

Snake River Rafting Trip August 6-8

SILC and all student organizations were represented at the annual rafting trip with members of USUSA, Spirit Squad, Student Media, and FSL Community coming together to create bonds with one another and learn more about the other organizations and how they work within the Aggie Family.

1. Non-State Funded Capital Development Projects 2. Latinx Cultural Center (LCC) 12 October 2018

ITEM FOR ACTION

RE: Request to Approve Non-State Funded Capital Development Projects

The Utah State University Non-State Funded Capital Development Projects are submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration. The Non-State Funded Capital Development Projects have received the appropriate administrative review and approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

NON-STATE FUNDED REQUESTS Utah State University will submit the following non-state funded capital development projects.

Moab Academic Building

The USU Moab Academic Building will be the first building on the new 40-acre campus site south of Moab. The site will be served by a new road and utility infrastructure provided by the City of Moab. USU Moab has experienced significant growth in the past several years, and the need for a new building has been identified to serve the growth needs, new programs, and specialized uses of the campus. The new building will provide 16,000- 19,000 GSF of classrooms, laboratories, offices, and student support spaces.

Approximate Budget: $7 – 11 M.

Space Dynamics Lab Research Building

The USU Research Foundation (USURF) will pursue an additional research facility for the Space Dynamics Lab (SDL) to continue to address rapid growth of its programs. The SDL continues to receive significant contract funding which continues to drive the need for additional space. The new building will be constructed near to the two new similar facilities on the Innovation Campus. It will include approximately 80,000 GSF of offices, electronics and computer testing labs, computer server rooms, and conference rooms and will require a high level of security and systems redundancy.

Approximate Budget: $35 – 38 M.

Space Dynamics Laboratory High Bay Building

The USU Research Foundation (USURF) has identified a need for a new high bay structure to house testing laboratories associated with Space Dynamics Lab research and development. This 40,000 GSF building will provide large scale equipment testing spaces for NASA and other government funded projects. It will be sited adjacent to the Bennett Building on the Innovation Campus.

Approximate Budget: $15 – 16 M.

USU East Parking Terrace USU Parking and Transportation seeks to construct a new 500-600 stall parking terrace on the east side of the main campus to address parking demand. As the campus continues to grow, surface parking is often lost as new buildings are built on parking lots. In a 10-year period, USU has added over 775,000 square feet on the main campus, and the total enrollment has increased by more than 2,500 FTE. Additionally, the east side of campus is home to the Fine Arts District, which generates high parking demand during events. Adding a parking terrace on the east side will balance the distribution of parking more equally and will reduce congestion throughout the academic core. The parking terrace will be located along 700 North, immediately east of the Industrial Science Building and adjacent to the Fine Arts facilities, as identified by the North Core District Plan.

Approximate Budget: $10 – 12 M.

Information Technology Services Building

A new Information Technology Services Building is needed to consolidate information technology (IT) functions and to free up space in two key buildings that is necessary for growing academic departments. The building will house office and support space for the entire Information Technology department. The IT department is currently occupying space in three different buildings, which creates inefficiencies of operation and utilizes valuable space in academic buildings. In addition, the building will house a small component of the Academic & Instructional Services (AIS) department which seeks to move from the Quonset Hut, a building slated for demolition as part of another project. The AIS function has an affinity with the IT department and supports all of the AV and broadcast / receive equipment and other functions for classroom support on the central campus. The size of the building will be approximately 18,000 GSF for the IT department and 5,000 GSF for the AIS group for a total of 23,000 GSF.

Approximate Budget: $7.7 M.

Mountain View Residence Hall Replacement

The Mountain View Residence Hall replacement project will include demolition of an aging high-rise residence hall on central campus. The new 146,500 GSF residence hall will replace the 365 beds currently housed in Mountain View Residence Hall and provide an additional 109 beds to accommodate future growth. The existing facility has many structural and code deficiencies and is in need of major upgrades to systems including an elevator replacement. Also, its traditional dormitory style housing is not desirable to the contemporary student body. The site is adjacent to the existing building to be demolished, and will have convenient access to parking, recreation, and dining services.

Approximate Budget: $50 - 53 M.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs will be requested at the appropriate time on the projects that qualify to receive maintenance funding.

WHEREAS, Utah State University’s Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost proposes to establish the Latinx Cultural Center (LCC), and

WHEREAS, The Latinx Cultural Center will serve as a conduit for service, engagement, advocacy, and visibility for the Latinx community on the USU campus and in the Cache Valley and surrounding areas, and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Utah State University Board of Trustees hereby approve the proposal to establish the Latinx Cultural Center (LCC), and that notification of this proposal be forwarded to the Utah State Board of Regents of the Utah System of Higher Education.

RESOLUTION APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

______DATE: New Unit Description - Abbreviated Template

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to establish Latinx Cultural Center (LCC) effective Spring 2019. This action was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Administrative Unit Description/Rationale Present a brief description of the unit. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at the action being proposed. Briefly Indicate why a new administrative unit or change to the unit is justified. Are similar units offered elsewhere in the USHE or the State? State how the institution and the USHE benefit from the proposed unit or unit change. The Latinx Cultural Center serves as a conduit for service, engagement, advocacy, and visibility for the Latinx community on the USU campus and in the Cache Valley and surrounding areas. The center is the result of a year-long process of “fact-finding” meetings with USU faculty and local Latinx community leaders convened by USU President Noelle Cockett. The meetings discussed and recognized the unique challenges faced by Latinx students and others vested in the prosperity of the Latinx community at large. There are similar initiatives such as the one being proposed at USU and these vary in scope and size among USHE institutions (e.g., Southern Utah University has created a “Hispanic Center for Academic Excellence” on their campus). The Latinx Cultural Center will be devoted to enhancing access, recruitment, retention, and overall success of students who identify with the Latinx community or whose professional aspirations are to work with the Latinx community. The result is an added benefit to the statewide Latinx community, especially those at USU and in Cache Valley.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Institutional Impact Explain how the unit is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals. Describe how the existing administrative structures support the proposed unit and identify new organizational structures that may be needed. What changes in faculty and staff will be required? The mission of Utah State University is to be one of the nation's premier student- centered land-grant and space-grant universities by fostering the principle that academics come first, by cultivating diversity of thought and culture, and by serving the public through learning, discovery, and engagement. The Latinx Cultural Center strongly supports USU's mission as the LCC aspires to increase access to resources, training, education, and professionalization that increases excellence in education for a historically-underserved demographic (i.e., the Latinx population). As of 2018 in the state of Utah, there is a glaring disparity between the numbers of Latinos that graduate from high school and the number of Latinos that matriculate to higher education and attain a postsecondary degree. Addressing this disparity would align with the Board of Regents and Commissioner of Higher Education identified "big goal" to have 66% of Utahans with a postsecondary degree or certificate by 2020. One of the most significant contributors to this disparity is a characteristic of the Latinx culture, which historically has not had much experience with higher education. Because of this situation Latinx parents often have no experience with higher education and thus do not know how to adequately prepare their children for the pursuit of a postsecondary degree. The Latinx Cultural Center is a multifaceted initiative that aims to serve “first- generation students,” Latinx USU students, Utah secondary education Latinx students, and the parents/guardians of those students. The center will "plug in" to other existing initiatives, programs, and centers that may have some overlap, such as the Access and Diversity Center at USU. The Latinx Cultural Center will require a Director, an Associate Director, a Program Coordinator, and graduate student staff. The Latinx Cultural Center will also require a permanent space on the USU campus that will serve as a hub that coordinates the various initiatives concerning the Latinx community both at USU and in the larger Utah community. Currently, USU has chosen Dr. Christopher Gonzalez, associate professor in the department of English to be the Director of the Latinx Cultural Center.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated with the actions proposed? What new facilities or modifications to existing facilities or equipment are needed? Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. If new funds are required, describe expected sources of funds. The space that will house the Latinx Cultural Center will require some modifications, including office and meeting space. The space will be used for graduate and undergraduate student mentors to convene; for affiliated organizations to meet; for affiliated events and speakers; for the public to visit and learn more about the Latinx community; for the showcasing of Latinx art and educational exhibits that are open to the public; as a space for students to do research and collaborate on academic endeavors. Appropriate furniture, office telephones and computers, and a projector/screen will be necessary. The LCC will also require will require a full-time Director, Associate Director, Program Coordinator and staff assistant. The LCC will be funded in the Provost office, with funding from the President's office. Additional funding will be sought through grants and community partners. The LCC will also seek to partner with the various units on campus to provide opportunities for graduate students. COMMITTEE MEETING ITEMS
