The celebration of Founders Day is in commemoration of USU’s “One University” system with the regional campuses, Eastern and Logan campus each celebrating the same night.
According to USU, “our founding mission challenged us to provide access and opportunity for students in every corner of the state, and we truly have become one university with regional campuses dispersed throughout Utah. We are extremely proud of our statewide role, so we will honor that ideal with a concerted effort highlighting the breadth of our successes.
“Celebrations will take place the same night at our regional campuses, which will join the Logan festivities via live video broadcast.”
