Jumpstart General Education

SUU's signature Jumpstart GE program is postponed for the 2020-2021 academic year

Future T-Birds! The COVID-19 pandemic has put unprecedented strains on colleges and universities across the world, including SUU. We are busy adapting to these effects and assessing how to move forward in a safe and effective manner for both faculty and students. The Jumpstart program depends heavily on being able to travel, attend plays, sporting events, movies, visiting national parks, camping, etc. As none of these listed activities are currently allowed within Utah and it is impossible to predict when these might be made available, we have elected to suspend the Jumpstart GE program for the upcoming school year. We know that suspending such an exciting and engaging program is saddening for both students and faculty. The Jumpstart faculty have been asked to teach their Jumpstart courses as traditional courses which will allow them greater flexibility for instruction should the pandemic impacts follow us into the school year. However, the pandemic is no reason to not be excited for the fall semester. SUU has the greatest faculty in the world and we think you’ll agree. See you in the fall!
