COME SOAR WITH US DEAR FUTURE T-BIRD, Your world feels uncertain this year. Online school, cancelled dances, postponed recitals and thousands of “zooms” in between -- you might be asking yourself if now is the right time for college. That’s why, in the midst of uncertainty, I am thrilled and honored you are considering Southern Utah University. Earning an affordable higher education while experiencing a vibrant campus life that lives up to your college expectations is possible at SUU. We are prepared to help make your future more certain. While the pandemic was unforeseen, it was not hard to predict SUU’s collective campus response. Professors and staff have worked around the clock and maintained a laser-like focus on the student. We have ensured a safe living and learning environment and found creative ways to make the most of socially distanced campus fun, all while keeping tuition and fees low. The majority of our classes are safely offered face-to-face so you get personalized attention from your professors. Your determination and adaptability marks the character of a great SUU student. At the core of our mission is teaching and learning and SUU is a place where innovation is encouraged and experiential learning is the norm. Ask any student on campus why they love SUU, and you’ll hear the same refrain “it feels like home.” We care about you and have the resources in place to help you achieve the future you want. Thank you for considering SUU, and I look forward to welcoming you home! Scott Wyatt SUU WELCOME CENTER 435-586-7741 [email protected] suu.edu/visit 1 APPLY WHAT TO DO 1.
