Upcoming Events
Year of Undergraduate Research Exhibition
Exhibition
In celebration of 50 years of the undergraduate research program at Utah State University, the Office of Research presents a landmark exhibition showcasing the innovative work of undergraduate researchers across all disciplines. From microscopy images to engineering prototypes, artistic interpretations to scientific specimens, this curated collection demonstrates how undergraduate research at USU has impacted student lives and our understanding of the world since 1975.
Full Moon Snowshoe Hike
Recreation
Come spend an evening snowshoeing under the glow of a full moon. Be sure to dress warm for the cooler temperatures after dark. No snowshoeing experience is necessary, beginners are most welcome. Participants must be prepared for moderate physical activity in a winter environment. Trip cost includes snowshoe rental and transportation.
USU Summer Jobs Fair
Fair/Festival
Career fairs are the primary stage for students to actually get a job. This event is geared toward all students interested in pursuing a career, needing a summer job, or internship in any field.
USU + UDWR Lunch Seminar Series: Maximizing Success of Seed-Based Restoration
Breakfast/Luncheon/Dinner
Join us for our monthly USU and UDWR Seminar Series in person or via Zoom. Light lunch is provided for in-person attendees. Title: "Maximizing success of seed-based restoration: analysis of current practices and experimental tests of new possibilities" Authors: Spencer Good, Kari Veblen, Eric Thacker (Dept. of Wildland Resources, USU), Tom Monaco (USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Unit), Kevin Gunnell, Danny Summers, Melissa Landeen (UDWR Great Basin Research Center Talk Summary: "Our collaborative research with the UDWR aims to improve restoration outcomes throughout Utah's rangelands. First, we have been investigating the species composition of restoration seed mixes used by UDWR, particularly with respect to the "Resistance and Resilience" framework that is increasingly being used to inform management of western rangelands. Second, we have been experimentally evaluating the field performance of different seed mixes that include vs. exclude commonly-used non-native species and the potential of these different types of mixes to promote multiple restoration goals."

Uintan Basin Speaker Series: Drylands: Environmental Change and Urban Growth with Dr. Hillary Hungerford
Conference/Seminar
The Uintah Basin Speaker Series provides insightful, relevant community topics to spark conversations. Each speaker's presentation will be broadcast live on AggieCast. Videos from the series will be published a few days after the event.
Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Mike Dietze
Conference/Seminar
The USU Ecology Center is pleased to host our January Seminar Series speaker, Dr. Mike Dietze, from the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.
Dr. Michael Dietze leads the Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, the mission of which is to better understand and predict ecological systems; he is the author of Ecological Forecasting. He is interested in the ways that iterative forecasts, which are continually confronted with new data, can improve and accelerate basic environmental science, while at the same time making that science more directly relevant to society (e.g., nature-based climate solutions). Much of the current work in the lab is organized under two broad umbrellas, the Near-term Ecological Forecasting Initiative (NEFI) and the PEcAn project.
A public reception will immediately follow the seminar. All are welcome!

Intro Backcountry Ski Tour with Campus Rec
Recreation
Come grab some backcountry turns with us! We will venture into the Bear River backcountry to seek out snow that you can't get to on a ski lift. Learn some of the basics of backcountry travel and safety. No backcountry experience is required but you must be comfortable riding double blue to black diamond resort terrain. Participants must be prepared for strenuous hiking. Backcountry touring skis or split board with skins are required and available to rent for an additional $10+tax for trip participants. NO SNOWSHOES. Trip cost includes transportation, avalanche beacon, shovel, probe and student leadership.
