4 RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION TO Erin Brann

Erin Brann is one of the most respected members of the custodial staff in the Taggart Student Center. Her direct supervisor, Teresa Barton, said, "I appreciate Erin's consistently positive attitude and drive to get the job done. In the two years Erin has worked the night shift in the TSC, she has learned how to fill any staff position. She is very valuable to me and her fellow coworkers." As a former custodian, Michael Scott Peters noted, 'There are many jobs in life that do not receive the appreciation they deserve." Her hard work has not gone unnoticed.

Erin's drive has led to academic success in the classroom. She was recently accepted into the nursing program at USU and is expected to graduate in the spring of 2019. Although her courses are rigorous, she has grown from her studies and made many new friends. After graduation, she plans to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing.

Erin has also been involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. She played lacrosse for the university before serving an LOS mission in Virginia. She now serves her peers as a writing fellow on campus and a certified nursing assistant offcampus. In her free time, she pursues her passion for creativity through glass etching and woodcarving.

Jeff Brann, Erin's husband, admires her dedication to continuous improvement. "She is an avid runner who is currently training for a half marathon. Sometimes I feel that she is burning the candle at both ends, but she somehow manages to serve everyone with a smile. She first caught my eye two years ago when we began as custodians in the TSC. Then I realized we had chemistry class together. I now feel very lucky to be married to her."

Congratulations Erin! Thank you for your service to our student body and dedication to the Aggie Family.

I. Chair’s Report

A. Information Items

1. Letters of Commendation and Appreciation to Outgoing Trustees

Outgoing Trustees Linda Clark Gillmor, Susan D. Johnson, and Lane L. Thomas were honored at a dinner held Thursday, August 17, 2017, at the President’s home (Appendices A, B, and C).

2. Oath of Office for Incoming Trustees

Chair Burnett administered the Oath of Office to incoming Trustees: Kent K. Alder, David G. Butterfield, John Y. Ferry, Crystal C. Maggelet, and Clark L. Whitworth.

3. Date of the next Board of Trustees Meeting, October 13, 2017 in Logan, Utah

The meeting will be held in the afternoon to enable Trustees to participate in Homecoming activities that evening.

B. Discussion Items

1. Letters of Commendation and Appreciation to Outgoing Trustees

Three of the Trustees transitioning off the Board this year, Trustees Gillmor, Johnson and Thomas, were honored at a dinner on Thursday August 17, 2017 (Appendices A, B, and C). The remaining two, Trustees Jibson and Watterson, will be recognized at the next Regular meeting in October.

2. Trustee Committee Structure

Chair Burnett spoke about committee assignments. According to the Bylaws, there are two standing committees, the Executive and Audit Committees. Going forward the Athletics, Honorary Degrees and Awards Screening, and Marketing/Public Relations Committees will continue. The Regional Campus System Committee was important during the growth of the regional campuses and during the period of transition with USU Eastern. With the passing of 2017 Senate Bill 238 – Higher Education Governance Revisions (Millner/Wilson, 2017), Trustees are now responsible for final approval of academic programs as long as they fall within the institutional mission. A new Academic Program Approval Committee will replace the Regional Campus System Committee. This Committee will review academic proposals and present their findings to the Board. (Appendix D – Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) presentation regarding Board of Regent and Board of Trustee program approval process) (Appendix E – Regent/Trustee Roles and Authority) (Appendix F – and a New Program Proposal Flowchart). Materials regarding academic changes will be forwarded to the Academic Program Approval committee prior to the meeting.

According to the Bylaws, the Executive Committee membership requires full board approval. The Committee consists of the Chair, Vice Chair, and three other members. With five Trustees transitioning off the Board, Chair Burnett proposed Trustees Peczuh, Alder and Whitworth to serve on this committee. Trustee Peczuh will rotate off the Board next year.

Action: Trustee Huntsman moved to approve the proposed Executive Committee members. Trustee Ferry seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

Action: Trustee Holland moved to approve the addition of a new Academic Approval Committee, including the removal of the Regional Campus System Committee. Trustee Huntsman seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

3. Differential Tuition Review Process

Chair Burnett and President Cockett spoke about differential tuition at the University and the Board’s responsibilities regarding the accountability of those funds. President Cockett explained both Tier I tuition (rate set by the legislature) and Tier II tuition (first instituted at USU by President Kermit Hall in 2002). Tier II tuition, after being approved by President Cockett, is presented to the USUSA Executive Council and further to the student body (Truth in Tuition hearings.) Some examples of use/need for Tier II tuition funds include: the new ALEKS math placement program, promotion/tenure, employee healthcare premiums, IT and software updates, scholarship funding, and the General Fund. See excerpts from the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) policies regarding tuition:

https://higheredutah.org/policies/r510-tuition-and-fees/ R510-3. Tuition and Fees 3.1. Uniform First Tier Tuition Rate Increases: A first tier tuition rate increase shall be uniform for all institutions, shall be implemented at the same time, and shall be based on evaluations of current data on inflation and national and regional tuition increases and justified by specific increasing needs in the Utah System of Higher Education. 3.2. Optional Second Tier Tuition Rate Increases: Each institutional President, with the approval of the institutional Board of Trustees, may recommend a second tier tuition rate increase to meet specific institutional needs. Second tier tuition rate increases may apply to all programs equally or may be different for specific programs. 4.1. Differential Tuition: Differential tuition schedules for undergraduate and graduate programs may be authorized by the Board on a case by case basis. In addition to initially approving differential tuition rates for academic programs, differential tuition increases beyond the regular institutional tuition increase proposal should be approved by the Board. The increased revenues from the differential tuition rate charges shall be used by the institution to benefit the impacted program and to help support related campus services. Institutions requesting differential tuition schedules should consult with students in the program and consider the following: 4.1.1. the student and market demand for the program; 4.1.2. the impact of differential tuition rates on student access and retention; 4.1.3. the tuition rates of comparable programs at other institutions; 4.1.4. the potential earnings capacity of program graduates; and 4.1.5. the societal importance of the program.

Trustee Nixon proposed that the Audit Committee establish a timeline and process for auditing differential tuition funds. Nixon also noted that it is our job as Trustees to ensure that proposals are concise and presented with details. Requestors need to understand they must be accountable for the use of the funds.

II. President’s Report

A. Information Items

1. Enrollment

President Cockett spoke about the complex relationship between enrollment and tuition (Appendix G). Balancing enrollment and tuition is very complex. Some considerations include: • the Legislature’s drive to get students through the system in a timely manner and their reluctance to raise tuition • full load tuition plateaus • changes in requirements for some programs (e.g., new classes STAT 1045/ Math 0995) • recruitment/scholarship structure • incoming freshman/student retention

Date Approved

UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Utah State University, University Inn, Alma Sonne Board Room, Logan, Utah August 18, 2017

Minutes of the Workshop of the Utah State University Board of Trustees held in the University Inn, Alma Sonne Board Room, commencing at 8:31 a.m.

UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT Neil N. Abercrombie Vice President, Government Relations Carolyn Brittain Staff Assistant Noelle E. Cockett President Amanda DeRito Sexual Misconduct Information and Outreach Coordinator Mica McKinney General Counsel Sydney M. Peterson Chief of Staff and Secretary to the Board of Trustees Tim Vitale Director, Public Relations and Marketing Robert W. Wagner Vice President, Academic & Instructional Services Jay Wright Director, Student Marketing & Communications

Chair Burnett called the workshop to order. Three topics were discussed at the workshop.

I. I’m an Aggie: Marketing and Communications, Next Steps

Tim Vitale, Director, Public Relations and Marketing, lead a discussion about marketing and communications (Appendix A). A few years ago ThomasArts completed a comprehensive study regarding what people think and know about USU’s brand. USU ranked third after Brigham Young University and the University of Utah in name recognition. Utah Valley University followed next. UVU is becoming a bigger competitor. Director Vitale spoke about the ongoing branding including the “I’m an Aggie campaign.” “I’m an Aggie” will highlight what graduates are doing. For example: I’m and Aggie, I’m growing plants on Mars, or, …We make your water pure, or, …I’m finding a cure for cancer. Multiple media will be used including online, YouTube, TV, theaters, and billboards. Jay Wright, Director, Student Marketing and Communications, and Robert Wagner, Vice President, Academic and Instructional Services

relayed information about the new Admissions web page which targets regional campus and national student audiences with USU’s online degrees. A Social Media Committee is working on Instagram Live chats with President Cockett and Snapchat “takeovers.” The Utah State Magazine has a new managing editor and team of editors, with a goal to increase the page count. “Year of” events such as last year’s “Year of Water” and the current “Year of the Arts” have been successful. Trustees and others present shared thoughts regarding marketing including:

• uniqueness of the Aggie/away from home experience • feel of being part of the Aggie family • increasing summer events that expose high school students to campus • a sense of the Logan campus including its history, atmosphere, and safe environment • footprint across the state/mission of the school/land grant institution • shape and scope of the school/impact through research • non-graduating former attendees being included in the alumni family • international student ads, i.e “I’m an Aggie” ads in various languages • discussions underway to become the local provider for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Pathway program.

II. Freedom of Speech on Campus

Mica Mckinney, General Counsel, with the assistance of Amanda DeRito, Sexual Misconduct Information and Outreach Coordinator, presented information regarding freedom of speech on campus. McKinney is passionate about freedom of speech. Citizens have a constitutional right to the protection of freedom of speech. Protected areas of speech include: political speech, hate speech and other unpopular or offensive speech. Unprotected areas include: true threats and fighting words, incitement to lawless action, harassment, obscenity, and libel and defamatory speech. Campuses are places where ideas are encouraged.

“The essentiality of freedom in the community of American universities is almost self-evident… Scholarship cannot flourish in an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust. Teachers and students must always remain free to inquire, to study and to evaluate, to gain new maturity and understanding; otherwise our civilization will stagnate and die.”1

There is a balance between liberty, freedom, and safety. Universities are places where ideas are tested and challenged. There are polices in both the Faculty Code and The Code of Policies and Procedures for Students at Utah State University regarding freedom of speech.

Legislation regarding freedom of speech will likely be brought forth during the next legislative session. Freedom of speech is protected under the Constitution, but many students expect the University to step in with restrictions. The University watches social media and is connected with local police, sheriff, and fire departments. A plan is in place should a situation escalate. USU is working to be proactive. In mid-September there will be a “Free Speech on Campus:

1 Keyishian v. Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, 385 Y,S, 589 (1967)

III. Sexual Assault Task Force Update

General Counsel, Mica McKinney discussed actions taken in response to recommendations from USU’s Sexual Violence Prevention Working Group Task Force (Appendix A). The University will implement a comprehensive sexual violence prevention effort this fall. All first-year undergraduate and graduate students are required to complete on line assault awareness training before they are able to register. Handouts are given to first-year students (Appendices B, C). There have been introductory discussions on the topics of consent and bystander intervention. Additional efforts include:

• a bystander intervention-training program, “Upstanding: Stepping Up to Prevent Violence in Utah” • a week of educational presentations on healthy relationships, communicating consent and safer sex • faculty and staff training regarding reporting obligations, responsibilities and possible consequences for noncompliance • coordination among entities where students report issues, including an on line database • easier on line reporting • community collaboration with CAPSA, UCASA, and state health leaders • identification of frontline personnel who might be aware of incidents such as teaching and resident assistants.

POLICY MANUAL

OPERATING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Number 516 Subject: Meals and Entertainment Effective Date: January 27, 2006 Revision Date (s): April 10, 2013, April 22, 2015, August 9, 2017 Date of Last Revision: August 9, 2017

516.1 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT

There are occasions when extending hospitality through meals and entertainment is in the best interest of the University. The University will pay for these meals (either on- or offcampus) and entertainment expenses when they are essential to University business or are considered to be de minimis fringe benefits under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines.

The University only pays for expenses that are related to the conduct of the University's business. We rely upon our employees to exercise restraint and good judgment in committing University funds.

1.1 Allowable Meal and Entertainment Expenses

Expenses for entertainment and meals as entertainment must be ordinary and necessary and meet one of the following two tests or qualify as de minimis benefits.

(1) Directly-related Test

To meet the directly-related test for meals and entertainment expenses, you must show that:

 The main purpose of the combined business and entertainment was the active conduct of business,  You did engage in business with the person during the entertainment period, and  You have more than a general expectation of obtaining some benefit to the University.

Entertainment expenses generally are not considered directly related if you are not present or in situations where there are substantial distractions that generally prevent you from actively conducting business.

(2) Associated Test

To meet the associated test for meals and entertainment expenses, you must show that the entertainment is:

 Associated with the active conduct of University business, and  Directly before or after a substantial business discussion.

A business discussion will not be considered substantial unless you can show that you actively engaged in the discussion, meeting, negotiation, or other transaction to obtain some benefit to the University.

(3) Tax Considerations

Under IRS regulations (Publication 463), meal and entertainment expenses will be considered taxable income to you if you do not meet one of the tests noted above or if the expense is not substantiated with supporting documentation (see Documentation requirements 1.3). Expenditures for spouses and guests are not taxable when they qualify as de minimis fringe benefits under IRS regulations (Publication 15-b).

1.2 Information on Specific Areas

2.1 De Minimis Benefits

(1) Beverages/Food Items

Supplies of coffee, water, soda, juice and similar items may be purchased and provided to University guests.

(2) Appreciation Events

Units may hold events during the year to show appreciation for employee efforts. The cost of the event should be reasonable and may include guests or family members at the department head’s discretion. Approval of these events must be by the department head.

(3) Retirement/Separation Functions

Departments may hold a reception for employees retiring or separating from the University (one per employee). Reasonable expenditures are permitted. Approval of these events must be by the department head.

(4) Holiday Functions

Holiday functions are permitted and may include guests or family members at the department head’s discretion. The cost of such functions must be reasonable and may not be charged against any contract or grant fund or reimbursed overhead (F&A).

(5) Retreats and Workshops

Beverages/refreshments (coffee, juice, soda, donuts, rolls, etc.) for retreats and workshops are permissible. Meals and entertainment may be provided to employees, guests and family members when appropriate for the time and duration of the event and approved by the department head.

2.2 Other

(1) Alcohol

The purchase of alcohol is allowed upon approval of the Dean or Vice President. Charges for alcohol may not be paid from state appropriated funds or federal funds.

(2) Allowable Costs a. The cost of meals, where only USU employees are present, are generally not permitted. In situations where employees from multiple departments or areas can only meet during a meal period it is permissible to charge the cost of the meal to University funds. Good judgment should be used when expending University funds in this manner. b. The cost of individual meals to be reimbursed on a Travel Authorization does not apply here. The costs of those meals are reimbursable. However, group travel meals do fall under this policy and must have the Meals and Entertainment form completed. c. Reimbursement will not be allowed when:

1. Two or more employees choose to go to lunch together to continue their business as an incidental part of the meal.

2. The meeting could have been scheduled during the normal course of business.

3. Business meals with faculty, staff, or other colleagues are frequent (occurring on a regular or routine basis) and reciprocal.

Such expenses are not allowable under this policy. Charges for these types of expenses on the University purchasing card must be reimbursed to the University. If not properly reimbursed, these will be considered taxable income.

(3) Spouse Expenditures

In addition to the events described above, in other situations the entertainment expenses of the spouse of a guest, employee or the official host may be reimbursed as an exceptional expense provided such meals and entertainment serves a bona fide University business purpose. Participation in official functions that require the attendance of a spouse may be considered a bona fide business purpose. Fundraising events, alumni gatherings, community and recruiting events are examples of activities that may require the attendance of a spouse. Expenditures for spouse travel (meals, airfare, etc.) are generally not permitted.

1.3 Documentation

Business meals and entertainment expenses must be documented (substantiated) to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Services regulations and prudent business practices. Documentation required by these activities is as follows: Business reason for the activity; the individuals involved in the activity, including their title and affiliation; and the dates of the activity. All costs should be supported by the itemized actual receipts (not just a credit card receipt) and listed by the provider, location, date, and amount of the expense. Additional information may be provided as it is deemed necessary.

(1) This documentation is required if the employee is requesting reimbursement or if the expense is charged to the University by a credit card or other method.

(2) If the expense cannot be properly documented, the employee must bear the cost of the business meal and/or entertainment.

A Meals and Entertainment form is not required for food that is purchased as research supplies, cleaning supplies, for culinary instruction, or as normal operating supplies (e.g. Edith Bowen lunch supplies, preschool snacks, or Dining Services food for resale). However, these types of purchases still require that the business purpose is documented and charged to the appropriate account code (i.e. Supplies, Cost of Goods, etc.).

1.4 Activity Certification

The employee and one supervisory level above the employee will certify with their signatures that the expenses were correct for the business reason indicated for the activity. If this activity is an exception to this policy, then the Dean or Vice President must certify with their signatures giving their approval of the exception.

1.5 Processing

(1) Reimbursement

If requesting reimbursement, use the Post-Meals Form in USU EZ-Buy. The employee needs to sign the receipts to acknowledge his/her certification.

(2) Purchasing Card Transaction

Any purchasing card transaction that includes items covered by this policy must have the Meals and Entertainment form attached to it and kept on file in the department.

(3) Requisition

If a requisition includes items that are covered by this policy, then the Pre-Meals Form must be completed in USU EZ-Buy.

1.6 Exceptions

1.7 University Providers

Units are encouraged to consider University providers of meals and entertainment products and services. POLICY MANUAL

ITEM FOR ACTION

RE: USU and USU Eastern Auxiliary and Service Enterprises Annual Reports for FY2016-17

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.

Advancement:  In fiscal year 2017 university fundraising progress totaled more than $85 million, was nearly twice that of fiscal year 2016 and is the highest mark reached since fiscal year 2008, during the “Honoring Tradition, Securing Our Future” Campaign.

 Fundraising progress as of September 30 was $7.9 million. That was a 40% decline compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Cash received was up 3% with $9.8 million received this year over $9.5 million for the same period last year.

 Donor Events: o The Annual Seely-Hinckley Scholarship Luncheon was held in April. o The Heritage Society event was held in May.

 The Planned Giving program had its best year ever in the history of Utah State University with $5.9 million from realized bequests in fiscal year 2017. Additionally, two charitable gift annuities (CGA) were established with a total value of $700,000 (a third CGA reported earlier was converted to a cash gift) and 10 new estate gifts were identified with a known value of $2.5 million.

 IRA Charitable rollovers have become very popular. In fiscal year 2017, 67 individuals made gifts to USU using this vehicle. That is more than twice the number of individuals who gave through their IRAs in fiscal year 2016. Total gifts and payments from IRA Charitable rollovers in fiscal year 2017 was $620,985, which was a 82% increase over the total received in fiscal year 2016 ($339,660).

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY USU IT and AIS complete development for unified USHE Concurrent Enrollment application o House Bill 182 in the 2016 legislative session mandated the creation of a common concurrent enrollment participation, permission, and application system. USU IT and AIS contracted with USHE to build the process and system. This was delivered successfully on time and on budget this month and creates a single location for high school students to apply to any USHE school. Prior to this system, concurrent enrollment students would have to individually apply to each institution.

ALEKS system for math placement operational o The Math Department and IT have completed the implementation of ALEKS math placement and course preparedness software. This system represents a significant improvement by allowing students to combine personalized learning and remediation with placement assessment to help students succeed. Said one student, “I love that I can take a free test that will show me what I need to learn as well as show me what I need to know… it starts out teaching you the steps and then you can keep practicing until you are ready. I am extremely happy that USU has found a math program that can help me place into STATS!”

USU Website Conference o The 2017 USU Web Conference was organized by IT's Web Team, in partnership with experts from USU’s various colleges and departments. The conference brought together 177 employees to share best practices on how to create websites that prospective and current students find helpful, made people aware of web resources available across the University, and continued to build the web community at USU. 177 attended. A recap of the conference and recordings of the sessions are available at http://www.usu.edu/webcon/.

Computer & Technology Fair o More than 800 people visited the USU Computer & Technology Fair this year to check out the latest classroom technology, laptops, computers, printers and copiers. Additionally, it brings together vendors who compete for USU’s business. The exhibitors often discount their prices anywhere from 40 to 60 percent lower than their regular educational pricing.

Even the USU employees who weren’t in Logan that day had an opportunity to take in this year’s fair thanks to Chris Garff’s “Video Media” class. The students interviewed exhibitors, quickly edited those interviews, and posted them on the fair’s Facebook page so anyone could get a close-up look at what was offered. http://ctf.usu.edu/2017ctf/videos/index

13 October 2017 Events, Actions, or Issues Since the Last Trustee’s Meeting

At a special Connections luncheon featuring this year’s Common Literature Experience speaker, Dr. Lucy Kalanithi, the University Honors Program hosted over 100 incoming honors students and about 20 USU faculty members. During the luncheon, students had an opportunity to talk with faculty about USU and the Honors Program, interact with Dr. Kalanithi in an extensive Q&A session about When Breath Becomes Air, and attend a book signing. The event introduced students to the interdisciplinary honors community on campus and engaged them personally with this year’s convocation speaker.

This October for the twelfth year, the Department of Wildland will host Restoring the West Conference 2017. Consistent with this year's theme, “Forest Restoration, What's Working, What's Not,” a diverse mix of speakers will talk about forest restoration efforts throughout the west. Past conferences have drawn 200 to 300 experts from throughout the Intermountain West.

Last February, failure of the Oroville Dam spillway prompted evacuation of nearly 200,000 people; and for the second time, a Utah Water Research Laboratory team is involved with engineering efforts at the nation’s tallest dam. USU engineers and technicians constructed a 1:50 scale model of the spillway in just 40 days. Data from the model will provide useful information about hydraulic conditions in and around the damaged spillway and help engineers in California make better informed decisions about repair and replacement. Reporters from around the world, including The New York Times, Discovery, and CNN interviewed Water Lab faculty about ongoing reconstruction efforts at Oroville Dam.

The Sustainable Electrified Transportation Center, known as SELECT, hosted its second annual industry meeting and technology showcase on September 26 and 27. SELECT is USU’s newest multi-university research center located at the Electric Vehicle & Roadway Research Facility and Test Track on the Innovation Campus. Partners include USU, Purdue University, University of Colorado Boulder, Olin College, and the University of Colorado as well as Colorado Springs and various industry and government partners.

Eric Reither, a sociologist and demographer in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, was recently awarded a highly competitive National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant. The NIH funds innovative and scientifically rigorous medical research to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. The $2.1 million grant will allow Dr. Reither and his co-investigators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford University to research whether poor sleep can result in weight gain among adults. Since there has been little research on the link between long-term sleeplessness and obesity in adults, Dr. Reither’s NIH-funded research has the potential to change public health recommendations. Megan Cook Turner received a bachelor’s degree in interior design from USU in 2017. After winning the “D*scover Carpet Design Challenge” earlier this year, Cook was invited to Durkan headquarters. During a three-day tour of the facility, Cook shadowed designers, learned about the design process, and was filmed for an upcoming promotional video. Following her visit, Cook was offered an opportunity to launch a signature collection as a featured designer for Durkan. Cook’s collection of 69 designs will include her winning design and will be unveiled at the 2018 HD Expo in Las Vegas.

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, which is currently closed for renovation and expansion, takes the museum to patrons with its Mobile Art Truck. From May 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017, the Mobile Art Truck enabled NEHMA to serve a total of 3,065 youth and community members at NEHMA-organized, community-sponsored, and K-12 events.

With funding from NASA, USU physicist Mike Taylor and his team will develop the design for an infrared, temperature-mapping camera that will capture images of upper atmospheric gravity waves from the International Space Station. As a researcher for USU’s Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences, Taylor has led research and collected images of upper atmospheric gravity waves for decades. The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) project will enable direct observations that will increase understanding of how the waves affect the Earth’s atmosphere.

USU librarian Pamela Martin is scheduled to speak at an upcoming TEDxUSU event. At the event, Martin will discuss challenges with the current information landscape and the need to sharpen critical thinking skills in order to lessen the risk of being duped by and sharing fake news. Randy Williams is an oral history specialist and curator for the university’s Fife Folklore archives. In addition to past honors, awards, and board memberships, Williams was recently appointed to serve on the Utah Humanities Council Board of Directors.

USU alumna Aaryn Birchell was recently named Utah Teacher of the Year for 2018. Birchell will receive $10,000 and an opportunity to compete for the National Teacher of the Year award. She hopes to share the message that career educators can maintain a healthy work-life balance.

USU Plays Key Role in Successful Launch of Satellite from Space Station – KSL – May 30, 2017

When a small defense satellite was launched from the International Space Station recently, a team from Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory gathered to watch the deployment. The launch was the culmination of some two years of work for the small team that collaborated with the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop the Satellite for High Accuracy Radar Calibration, or SHARC for short. The USU-based lab developed the satellite's flight software, radio interface circuit board, and provided fabrication and assembly expertise for its main subsystems. ... The Logan-based laboratory developed the SHARC flight software that monitors and controls all aspects of the satellite. The software provides the command and data handling functionality to operate key subsystems such as communications, guidance and navigation, state-of-health monitoring, the electronic power system and telemetry, among others. The Space Dynamics Laboratory also developed the ground system software used to communicate with the satellite. ... According to USU officials, the Satellite for High Accuracy Radar Calibration was developed to demonstrate the capability of actively obtaining data from a small satellite platform to generate more precise positions of satellites at given times.

Oroville Dam Spillway Model may Provide Answers – Oroville MR News – June 1, 2017

Over 700 miles away from the Oroville Dam spillway sits its sort of little sister — a tennis-court sized replica at Utah State University, which is being tested by engineers. The 15 member group has conducted over 50 tests so far and is now in the process of building a model of the repairs planned by the state Department of Water Resources, which commissioned the project at the university. That should be ready in a few weeks for further testing, said Michael Johnson, a research professor with the Utah Water Resource Laboratory. ... The university has a history with DWR, as Johnson’s lab worked out an engineering solution for river valves in low-level water reservoir conditions, aiding during the drought years of 2014- 2016. “We just want to make sure any concerns are identified or validated, just to make sure there aren’t any surprises,” Johnson said. “People can do (their) best at estimating. A model helps to validate. Physical models still considered state of the art; gold standard.” ... “I think people can be very confident (that) whatever goes in is going to be as good as humanly possible to produce,” Johnson said. “They are very serious about making sure this is as put together as possible.”

USU Student Gets Prestigious NASA Fellowship – Herald Journal – July 7, 2017

As far back as she can remember, Utah State University student Ivana Molina has always been curious and loved science. It was not until her college years, studying in America after growing up in her native Argentina, that she got the bug to study science — specifically, heliophysics, the study of the effects of the sun on the solar system. “I think it is fascinating and it presents us with difficult and challenging problems to solve,” Molina wrote in an email. These days, Molina, 29, is studying for her Ph.D., and now she has the chance to research heliophysics with a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship supporting her. According to information provided by USU, Molina was one of only nine students nationwide to receive this opportunity. “I was surprised because I know it’s very competitive,” Molina said, laughing. “It was super exciting to find out.” ... Looking back on her decision to come to Utah, Molina has no regrets. “I really like the United States and Utah in particular,” she said. “I come from a city. Being here, you have the mountains and everything. It’s just beautiful.”

USU Board of Trustees has Five New Members – Herald Journal – August 5, 2017

The Utah State University Board of Trustees has a handful of new members. Five people were appointed by the governor to fill vacant positions on the school’s governing board, according to Sydney Peterson, USU chief of staff and secretary of the board. ... The addition of these new members represents a shakeup the board has not seen in several years. ... Earlier this year, the powers of the USU Board of Trustees and other governing boards for Utah’s public colleges and universities were altered by legislation signed by the governor. The Higher Education Governing Amendments law gave institutional boards of trustees the final say — as opposed to the Board of Regents — in approving institutional programs, like new degrees, as long as it falls within the scope of the school’s mission. USU is the state’s only land-grant school and shares a research mission with University of Utah. The USU Board of Trustees will hold its next meeting Aug. 18 for a workshop. It will meet on Oct. 13 at USU for its first meeting of the new academic year.

Sports Radio Host Scott Garrard Takes Over for 'Voice of the Aggies' – The Salt Lake Tribune – August 5, 2017

This summer, some 20 years after he first made his way onto the Utah airwaves, the sports talk show host found himself on another unexpected phone call, receiving another job offer from someone in his old stomping grounds. ... So starting next month, Garrard again will be broadcasting from Logan, this time as the new play-by-play voice for the Utah State Aggies. ... Still, USU officials said they hoped to retain Lewis’ services, despite the changes. Lewis, a Utah Broadcasters Association Hall of Famer member who called his 1,000th Aggie game last season, had been the play-by-play voice since 1995. “That is the hard part of it because Al is literally a legend and synonymous with Aggie basketball and Aggie football,” Hartwell said. ... Garrard, meanwhile, will try to honor Lewis in his own way when he takes over Sept. 1 at Wisconsin. "I want to harness that same kind of passion,” he said. “I want to bring that passion to the game, that excitement that he had, because you knew deep down he was 100 percent Aggie and he lived and died with each game.”

Small Satellite Constellations, 'Big Data' Talk of Annual USU Conference – Herald Journal – August 7, 2017

Last year, the world watched in horror as mass violence swept the city of Aleppo, Syria, during the country’s civil war. But a Seattle-based company, called Spaceflight Industries, was alerted of the situation and sprung into action, using satellite imagery to help a rescue team in the war-torn country find escape routes for the afflicted people. “It unfolded very, very quickly. It was assembling a team; it was getting access to the latest satellite imagery we could get from all these different companies; it was gathering together experts who were image analysts,” said Peter Wegner, chief technology officer for Spaceflight Industries and former employee at USU’s Space Dynamics Lab. “It was very exciting. ... Wegner spoke to The Herald Journal on Monday during the annual Small Satellite Conference at Utah State University. The effort to help the Syrian people — and keep government officials abreast of unfolding developments there — was made possible by BlackSky, a system of data-gathering tools, including small satellites. This year’s Small Satellite Conference comes at a time when more small satellites are being launched into space than ever and the amount of data they’re collecting is getting bigger, too, according to conference organizers. That’s why they made the theme for this year’s event “small satellites, big data,” according to Pat Patterson, a USU Space Dynamics Lab employee who also serves as conference chairman. ... Patterson said it’s still too early to tell the true potential these advances will have.

USU Aims to Teach Students, Prevent Violence with Sex+Respect Week – Herald Journal – September 5, 2017

During a lecture to Utah State University students on Tuesday, David Schramm recalled a time he was trying to put his kids to bed that resulted in an unexpected lesson. After the assistant professor and Family Life Extension specialist asked his little ones to settle down several times, he opened the door to his room thinking he’d have to tell them again. Instead he found a note, which he shared with students. It read: “Thanks a lot. I know it can be hard being a mom or dad, but you’ve got to stick with it. But don’t worry, we still love you.” The letter’s message, the USU professor and Extension specialist told students, is one way to sum up healthy relationships — one of the topics discussed during the university’s Sex+Respect week. ... Sex+Respect is just one of numerous efforts USU has deployed on sex, bystander intervention and healthy relationships since last year, when the school was rocked by allegations from several women — not all of whom were USU students — who claimed the university and law enforcement did not do enough in handling their sexual violence cases. In a prepared statement, James Morales, USU vice president for student affairs, stated that Sex+Respect aims to “encourage dialogue” about sexual consent and respect “so our students can help us create a positive learning environment, free from sexual violence.” ... Amanda DeRito, USU sexual misconduct information coordinator, said the theme for Sex+Respect is, as the name suggests, “respect.” ... USU senior Hannah Anderson, who attended Tuesday’s presentation by Schramm on healthy relationships, applauded the university for organizing Sex+Respect. ... Education is power and hopefully people will know how to have healthy relationships, what consent really means and how to respect people in intimate ways.”

Highlighting Waste: USU Student Wins Award for Video – Herald Journal – September 07, 2017

Some people might throw away leftover food or an old laptop without thinking much about it, but not biological engineering student Nathan Guymon. Guymon, a junior at USU, recently won second place in a video contest sponsored by the International Solid Waste Association, an Austria-based nonprofit, for creating a minute-long, animated video explaining just how much waste humans around the world create. ... Out of 34 entries from 15 countries, Guymon’s won second place and earned a $900 prize. ... In his biological engineering classes at USU, he has been learning about biological solutions to the world’s waste problem. He said it’s all about identifying a problem and finding a way to solve it. ... “You just really don’t think about how much you end up throwing away,” he said.

USU Weather Station Recognized for 50 Years of Service – Herald Journal – September 12, 2017

Ask USU professor and state climatologist Robert Gillies what it’s like to work at the university’s weather station off of U.S. Highway 89/91, and he’ll laugh. “It’s a duty,” he said jovially. ... But Gillies’ trip to the weather station Tuesday was nothing but positive, as The National Weather Service presented him and some young climatologists with an award to honor the half century the station has been functioning. Specifically, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s “Honored Institution Award” recognized the USU Logan Experiment Farm for “50 years of weather observations in cooperation with the National Weather Service.” ... He said the data from the USU weather station helps the National Weather Service improve its forecasting and data modeling. ... USU climatologist Jon Meyer, who was present on Tuesday to accept the award, took measurements at the weather station and talked about what it’s like to work there. ... Gillies said the award presented by the National Weather Service shows that “USU, as an institution, is serving the greater good on weather and climate”

Free Speech on Campus: Utah State University Debates Where the Line Is – Utah Public Radio – September 15, 2017

As the issue of free speech on university campuses makes headlines in various forms, a northern Utah university is trying to start a conversation with its students. ... On Wednesday, Utah State University hosted a panel discussing the issue. The event was moderated by Dean Joseph Ward of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Michael Scott Peters, Utah State’s student body president, emphasized the importance of tolerance among university students. ... Marina Lowe, a member of the Legislative Policy Counsel at ACLU of Utah, said she was happy to see the university discuss the issue of free speech. “The idea that this conversation is being had is so important,” Lowe said. “This notion of trying to find the line between free speech on one hand, and words that may cause hurt and harm on the other hand.”

Regents Plan to Improve Mental Health Services on Utah College Campuses – KSL – September 17, 2017

The Utah State Board of Regents on Friday adopted recommendations of a working group formed to address the mental health needs of students at the state's public colleges and universities. ... The recommendations include expansion of the SafeUT mobile app for college-age users, including personalizing the app for each institution and identifying a point of contact at each college or university. ... The genesis of the working group was the Utah State University Student Association in September 2016 declaring a "mental health crisis" on its campus. USU students were waiting four to six weeks to see counselors at the campus-run Counseling and Psychological Services due to a limited number of counselors and inadequate funding for services. The student government resolution was passed with the intent of encouraging student governments at other public colleges in Utah to pass similar legislation and work together to convince state lawmakers to boost funding for college suicide prevention and mental health programs, Matthew Clewett, USU's student advocate vice president, said at the time. ... USU President Noelle Cockett said she was proud of USU students bringing the issue to the forefront and how quickly the Utah System of Higher Education responded.

Former Aggie's Documentary to be featured in Raindance Film Festival – Good 4 Utah – September 18, 2017

A former Utah State University student, now filmmaker, is taking one of his projects to the Raindance Film Festival. Casey Allred's film "Stolen Innocence" delves into untold stories of millions of girls who disappear from their homes and are forced into a life of sex slavery. ... My hope is that this film will inspire people to take action—to liberate these girls and women and give them the tools they

Executive Director: Tim Vitale need to build better lives," Allred said. As a senior at USU, Allred made the top 15 in the Students in Service Awards program for his work co-founding Effect International (now Effect.org), a national nonprofit organization focused on building schools in India and Nepal. The film, made in partnership with that organization, will screen twice at Raindance London.

Local Group Studying Childhood Trauma – Cache Valley Daily – September 19, 2017

When the Northern Utah Trauma Resiliency Coalition was formed in the spring its three principles said the goal was to prevent childhood trauma from happening whenever possible through increased awareness and support, and to buffer the impact when it does occur. It is chaired by Dr. Ed Redd, Esterlee Molyneux, Executive Director of the Family Place, and Dr. Vonda Jump-Norman, a USU scientist in early childhood development. ... This new transformational group includes agencies, parents, physicians, clergy, school representatives, as well as those from civic, business and state organizations. ... She said they are working to create a trauma-informed community so citizens understand the impact of trauma on the development of children.

Ultra Light Aluminum: USU Chemist Reports Breakthrough in Material Design – Science Newsline – September 22, 2017

If you drop an aluminum spoon in a sink full of water, the spoon will sink to the bottom. That's because aluminum, in its conventional form, is denser than water says Utah State University chemist Alexander Boldyrev. But if you restructure the common household metal at the molecular level, as Boldyrev and colleagues did using computational modeling, you could produce an ultra-light crystalline form of aluminum that's lighter than water. Boldyrev, along with scientists Iliya Getmanskii, Vitaliy Koval, Rusian Minyaev and Vladimir Minkin of Southern Federal University in Rostov-on Don, Russia, published findings in the Sept. 18, 2017, online edition of 'The Journal of Physical Chemistry C.' ... "My colleagues' approach to this challenge was very innovative," says Boldyrev, professor in USU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. ... Such a property opens a whole new realm of possible applications for the non-magnetic, corrosive-resistant, abundant, relatively inexpensive and easy-to-produce metal. ... Still, he says, the breakthrough discovery marks a novel way of approaching material design. "An amazing aspect of this research is the approach: using a known structure to design a new material," Boldyrev says. "This approach paves the way for future discoveries."

Access & Diversity Center https://accesscenter.usu.edu/

Mission Statement: The mission of the Access and Diversity Center is to create an affirming and supportive environment for LGBTQA+, Multicultural, and Nontraditional students. We achieve this by implementing effective programming that supports the academic, cultural, and social experiences of students from diverse backgrounds. We partner with faculty, staff, and students to design activities that foster an acceptance and deeper understanding of difference. We also provide leadership for positive change that creates a campus and community environment that respects and embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Values: Service – Unity – Leadership The Access and Diversity embraces the concept of innovation to identify student needs and is committed to implementing the most effective programming that produces leaders prepared to engage in a global community. We have introduced several new programs to support students. First, we have created a LGBTQA Mentor Program to support students who are new to campus. With the support and consult from a therapist, student mentors are carefully screened and then matched with students seeking this type of program. Several students have taken advantage of this opportunity and have reported deriving a great deal of benefit from the interaction. The ADC has expanded the LGBTQA Brown Bag to include additional topics such as “Navigating Spirituality and Faith” and “Asexuality” to address the evolving needs of our students. “Bridges” is a new program designed to give multicultural students an opportunity to engage in dialogue about race, racism and privilege on campus and within the community. All of which are designed to alleviate some of the common stressors LGBTQA and Multicultural students experience within higher education.

The ADC is sponsors several speakers annually, to support our cultural awareness programming. The ADC is excited to present Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award Winner and recognized historian to Utah State University on Oct. 12th. His presentation, “How to be an Anti-Racist” is expected to reach 200+ audience members. The interest was greater than expected and the event has been moved to a larger auditorium to accommodate the audience.

The ADC will sponsor the Second Annual Nontraditional Student Awareness week to recognize the valuable contributions Nontraditional Students make to the campus. Activities are planned throughout the week.

In the fall of 2015, we brought on board the Interfaith Student Association in an effort to support the wider Interfaith Campus Initiative.

To bolster our assessment and evaluation efforts, the ADC has purchased card readers to gather data on the number of students we serve. In addition, we have created several qualitative surveys to assess the effectiveness of our programming. Our initial assessment will be made available on our website in November

USU Eastern

TEDxUSU Eastern at Price Campus: In collaboration with advisers, USU Eastern international student Kaina Elias (Brasil) has coordinated the Price Campus’s first TEDxUSU Eastern event, independently organized but sanctioned by TEDx. The newly remodeled Geary Event Center will host the event during its first month of renewed operation. Among other speakers, former international student Christopher Anokam (Nigeria) will discuss the potential for dye-sensitized solar cell technology to disrupt the sustainable energy industry. Also this year’s national welding champion, USU Eastern’s Chandler Vincent, will discuss “what does it take to turn a boy who failed every class in his sophomore year of high school into a national champion?” Also, three faculty members at the Price Campus – Jamie Camo, Jennifer Truschka, and Lisa Waite-Trago – will present on international poverty, the LGBTQ+ community, and immigration and refugees. Speaking of Welding Championships: After four days of nonstop welding, Chandler Vincent was named the USA’s WorldSkills welding champion, a feat never achieved by anyone from USU. It happened in Huntsville, Alabama, at the final American Welding Society’s competition. Vincent had been there in November, 2016 where the top-six welders were scaled down to three. Again, Vincent was there in January 2017, where the top-three welders practiced for a tune-up. Finally, in March 2017, Vincent took the top honors. Vincent, a freshman, claimed the prize and will represent the United States in the WorldSkills championships held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in October 2017. Theatrical Performance: The psychological thriller “Wait Until Dark” by Frederick Knott will open Utah State University Eastern’s theatre season on two consecutive weekends: October 5-7 and 12-14. Performances are in the Black Box Theatre located in the Central Instructional Building, with curtain time at 7:30 pm. The play is directed by Associate Professor Corey Ewan, with Assistant Professor Brent Innes serving as technical director. The remainder of the season will be the plays, “Blithe Spirit” by Noel Coward, “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harline, and “Guys and Dolls” music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Facility Renovations: The extensive (and expensive) remodeling of the 1961 Geary Theatre is nearing completion. This six-million-dollar project results in a new scene shop, upgraded green room and dressing rooms, new HVAC, seismic retro-fitting, newly engineered in-house acoustics and seating, and numerous other improvements. The name of the facility is now changed from the Geary Theatre to the Geary Event Center (GEC), and the building functions as a large-capacity venue for performing arts, spoken presentations, films, musical performances, and other campus and community events. Already, a number of arts events are scheduled in the GEC as part of USU’s Year of the Arts. Also, the McDonald Career Center (MCC), where most of the Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses are offered, has undergone a major renovation over the past year. The HVAC system was updated, as were all the classrooms. All new technologies were adapted into the remodeled classrooms, many of which serve as Broadcast Classrooms. Success of CTE Programs: The CTE programs in general are doing very well with enrollment. Cosmetology, Welding, and Health Professions (Nursing, Certified Nurse Assistant, Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and Emergency Medical Assistant) are at capacity. It will only be through the addition of more classroom and laboratory space that the Cosmetology, Welding, and Health Professions programs will grow. In addition, USU Eastern serves approximately 500 high school students through Broadcast courses (Concurrent Enrollment). As students seek faster entry to the workforce, and as the University promotes “stacked” degrees, the CTE program enrollments will only become more robust. USU Auto Mechanics Standout: Former Student-Body President and now a USU Eastern automotive graduate, Phill Raich, was named one of the top-auto students in the state after he competed in the Post-Secondary Automotive Service Technician competition in Utah Skills USA Leadership Conference recently. In addition, USU Eastern’s automotive students placed in the top- two percent in the nation according to the national NIASE testing center. At the end of spring semester, the students took a national test administered by ASE “Automotive Service Excellence.” The test included questions on theory and hands-on skills that are graded to a recognized standard. Blanding Campus Cultural Ambassadors (CAPP): The Cultural Ambassadors, a performance group offering primarily Native American dance, presented at the recent Window Rock Fair, a Native American gathering at which thousands gather from the Four-Corners area and from throughout the world. In addition to performing on a float during a two-mile parade, the CAPP performed before a huge nighttime crowd. Below is a photo of the group as they returned to Blanding (some showing Aggie Bull horns with their hands).

Price Campus Library Initiates the Aggie Learning Commons Concept: As more and more hard-copy resources are replaced by digital holdings, academic libraries throughout the nation are creating and implementing academic initiatives to support learning, often referred to as Learning Commons. At the Price Campus, the Aggie Learning Commons concept brings together academic services such as Adult Basic Education (ABE), tutoring services, an academic production service station (printing plus project creation and presentation services), food services, as well as gathering spaces for small-group learning, and even a reflection room for religious observance. The Campus is clearing space, designing amenities and furnishings, and implementing services. The project implementation may require two or more years to reach maturity of concept. USUSA Report

We were able to place about 40 incoming students in various positions within USUSA for the upcoming year.

USUSA Fall Retreat August 25-26 The 22 USUSA Officers joined at the Bear Lake Training Center to prepare for the upcoming semester. VP James Morales and Dr. Eric Olsen presented on the importance of representing students in the coming academic year. The officers participated in a group workshop on the ideas presented in Getting to Yes by Robert Fisher and William Ury.

Weeks of Welcome August 28-September 9 This year the USUSA Student Events Office opted to expand the “Week of Welcome” tradition to two “Weeks of Welcome.” Working with departments from across campus, they were able to organize two or three events per day to welcome students back during the first two weeks of the semester. These events included a zumbathon, a carnival, an outdoor showing of Wonder Woman on Old Main Hill, a lecture by Dr. Willie Lynsch of Harvard Medical School, a music festival on the Quad, and a giant slip-’n-slide party. An estimated 4,000 students joined in on the first day and attendance remained high throughout the two weeks.

College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences Week September 18-22 The College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences Student Council pushed through often- inclement weather to provide campus with five full days of events. Baby pigs on the Quad drew many students out into the rain, and the “Day on the Patio” kabob sale drew people out to the festivities from across the university. CAAS Week finished off with a Country Swing Night where the USUSA Country Swing Club provided a lesson to newcomers.

USUSA Exchange at San Jose State University September 21-24 Sixty representatives from Student Media, the Spirit Squad, the USUSA Executive Council and the USUSA Academic Senate were transported by bus to San Jose, California for a student involvement exchange. Each group met with their corresponding organization at SJSU on Friday morning after a 14-hour bus ride on Thursday. After a day full of idea sharing and collaboration, the USUSA exchange group returned to SJSU’s campus the following day to cheer for the Aggie football team and network with university administrators and Aggie alumni. Following the football team’s 61-10 victory, the group returned to the bus to drive through the night back to Logan.

USU HURD Campout on the Quad September 28-29 In anticipation of the USU vs. BYU Football game on Friday, September 29th, hundreds of students met on the Quad to camp out and enjoy hot dogs, games, and an impromptu speech by Vice President and Director of Athletics, John Hartwell. Student Athletes enjoyed time with their classmates, and the campers met at Maverik Stadium early the following day to show their support for USU Athletics.

Huntsman School of Business Week September 23-29 Starting with the RODS (Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome) 5K run on Saturday morning, Business Week was intended to mix service with networking opportunities. Students played “Professor Bingo” on Tuesday, wrote letters to cancer patients on Wednesday, met Business School alumni on Thursday night, and enjoyed the Fanfest Tailgate Party before the USU vs. BYU Football game on Friday afternoon.
