Hello,
We had a fantastic Founders Celebration March 24-25 as we celebrated SUU's birthday. We invite you to take a glimpse of the festivities, which included the introduction of a new SUU tradition called Lunch at The Main, which was a mix of food and the sharing of founders' stories and traditions with students.
Commencement is April 30 and May 1. This year's format has changed with the University-wide Ceremony being held on Friday and the various college convocation ceremonies on Saturday. The change will allow for convocations to be held in the Centrum and the Randall Jones Theatre. Utah Senator Robert F. Bennett will be this year's Commencement speaker and will receive an honorary degree. Norma Matheson, former First Lady of Utah, will also receive an honorary degree.
All our best. SUU Alumni Relations Mindy, Ron, Linda & Ashlee |
