Quarterly CONNECTIONS : Balancing Outdoor Lighting for Public Safety & Night Sky Protection

Conference/Seminar

From the Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative: Balancing Outdoor Lighting for Public Safety & Night Sky Protection

In this session, we will be discussing how to integrate public safety concerns with responsible outdoor lighting design to ensure safer, healthier, and more sustainable communities. Our guest speakers include: Art Hushen, founder of the National Institute of Crime Prevention (NICP, Inc.) and proponent for using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to ensure communities enjoy safe, attractive spaces at night. Dr. Bryan Boulanger, the Endowed Chair for the Kokosing Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Ohio Northern University, will provide insights on some innovative tools and a practical approach to creating lightscapes that are compatible with night sky protection.

The Quarterly CONNECTIONS include a series of interactive virtual meetings focused on ways to minimize light pollution and support the preservation and promotion of naturally dark night skies. Registration is free but required in advance for each Quarterly CONNECTIONS session: https://extension.usu.edu/iort/cp-darkskies/quarterly-connections.

Spring Runoff Conference

Conference/Seminar

The USU Spring Runoff Conference is an annual gathering that provides a forum for interdisciplinary sharing of ideas on water-related issues in Utah and the Intermountain Region extending to all aspects of water science, ecology, policy, engineering, and management. We invite students, faculty, consulting and government agency professionals as well as environmental and citizen organizations to participate.

USU and the Northern Utah Water Users are again combining for the 2025 conference, which will be held March 25-26, 2025. This two-day conference will feature invited speakers, student presentations, and multiple opportunities to connect.

With this year’s conference theme, Advancing Solutions for Policy, Innovation, and Sustainability, we join the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL) in celebrating its 60th anniversary while looking to the future of research and water management in an era of unprecedented challenges. By establishing the UWRL 60 years ago, the state of Utah recognized the important contribution of research for managing our scarce water resources. With growth and environmental change, this research remains critical and the UWRL looks forward to serving the state.

On March 25, the event will be held at the Cache County Event Center. On March 26, it will be held on campus at the Eccles Conference Center.
