THE
SUMMER SCOOP
April 2016
The Talk Around Town
There are lots of things that always seem to be happening
around campus these days. With the end of the spring semester
just around the corner, seniors are getting anxious about graduation, incoming freshman are announcing their acceptances at
Utah State, & everyone else in-between is ready to push through
finals week and get their summer adventures underway—much
like you might be!
A big change has been announced at the University. USU’s
President, Stan L. Albrecht, recently announced that he will be
retiring. He has been with the University for 11 years, and announced in a personal email to faculty and staff, that “The journey has been a truly remarkable one. While I will miss the opportunity that has been mine to lead this very special place, I will also look forward to the satisfaction that will come in watching it’s
successes under new leadership.”
You can learn more about his announcement, here.
Online Early Registration Ends April 25th!
“The variety of course offerings, the cultural opportunities in Logan, and
the many scenic places to
visit have made it a stimulating and rewarding
environment.”

Opening of Huntsman Hall
Utah State University is proud to announce the completion of
Huntsman Hall — The new addition to the business building
on campus.
On March 17, 2016, Jon M. Huntsman was present to do the
honor of cutting the ribbon opening the now-functional hall of
the business school. This building adds 20 new classrooms,
21 new study rooms, state-of-the-art technology, new offices,
conference rooms, and also, a new café.
Many returning Summer Citizens have probably seen this
beautiful building under construction during past summers.
The groundbreaking for this project took place in the Fall of
2013. We have all been anxiously awaiting its exciting
completion ever since.
Be sure to take note of this beautiful building located right
next to our conference center when you arrive this summer!

Historical Salt Lake City
We are hosting an exciting tour this summer to highlight some of Salt
Lake City’s historical past. The event includes a guided tour of the
beautiful Utah State Capitol building and surrounding complex, highlighting the building’s unique structure, breathtaking marble design,
gorgeous rotunda, and offices for state leaders like the governor. In
2004, the State Capitol began renovation and following its completion
in 2008 saw thousands of visitors. We’ll enjoy a catered lunch by
Chartwell Catering who also serves meals for all the legislators. Also
included is a guided tour of the fabulous McCune Mansion, built in the
early 1900’s for the luxurious living of
the McCune family. This spectacular
home features world-class period architecture with workmanship among
the grandest of early 20th-century
homes in all America. Our tour concludes with a guided tour of the Salt
Lake City/County Building constructed
in 1890 in gothic style and as a tribute to Utah’s farmers and miners.
Adventurous tourists have the option of climbing the clock tower
stairs for a grand view of the valley. Sign up today so that you don’t
miss out on this unforgettable learning experience! You’ll love this
city with it’s rich history and culture.
