Utah System of Higher Education (USHE)

Utah Valley University’s Open Source Intelligence Center (OSIC), part of the Intermountain Intelligence, Industry, and Security Consortium (I3SC) hosted a successful forum on Analytics Advancements: City, State, and National Security through Digital Intelligence. The event brought together several local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to discuss the latest advancements in analytics, training opportunities, and how OSIC student interns could serve as invaluable resources to enhance their digital analysis capabilities. Thank you Summit County Utah Sherrif’s Department, Statewide Information & Analysis Center (SIAC), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Salt Lake City office for sharing your expertise, knowledge and supporting the growth and importance of digital intelligence. Proudly funded by Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Talent Ready Utah’s Deep Tech Talent Initiative, the Open Source Intelligence Center and the consortium continue to build strong partnerships to drive innovation and prepare the next generation of talent in digital intelligence. 🚀👩💻👨💻 #TalentReadyUtah #DeepTechTalent #DigitalIntelligence #OpenSourceIntelligence #UVU #LawEnforcement #SecurityConsortium

Last week I had the honor of attending and presenting at the 2024 JED Campus Utah Cohort Convening. This convening was a chance to celebrate all 16 Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institutions progress over their last 4 years in the JED Campus program and plan for the future of their work. While I only had the pleasure of serving as the Campus Advisor for Southwest Technical College, I got to witness first-hand the passion that Utah’s higher education professionals have for student mental health and suicide prevention. The institutions transformed their campus infrastructure to support student mental health across the spectrum from early prevention to effectively managing crises. As a result, more students have a positive view of campus mental health culture and knowledge of the resources in place to support their emotional wellbeing. USHE’s participation in JED Campus serves as an inspiration for the possibility of widescale impact on the lives of young people when a state system can align under the shared goals of protecting emotional health and preventing suicide. Thank you to Aisha Folkes for leading and coordinating this event, Michael King and Diana Cusumano Gerring LMHC, NCC, RYT for hosting, and Shannon Rose, Nicole Mullis, LPC, NCC, Kurt Michael, Ph.D. and Erlinda Delacruz for sharing their expertise through informative breakout sessions. Most importantly, a huge THANK YOU to all the hardworking individuals in Utah that helped to carry out JED Campus at their institutions! 💙 #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #utahsuicideprevention #highered #collegementalhealth #JED #TheJedFoundation #healthpromotion #studentmentalhealth #studentwellness #campuswellness #utahmentalhealth

I'm proud to be a Board Member of the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) as Utah leads out on the issue of institutional neutrality on our college campuses. In the last 24 hours, UCLA, the University of Virginia, and the University of Wisconsin have now followed Utah's lead. See the link below for a full (and growing!) list of universities who have adopted a policy of institutional neutrality in order to promote free speech on college campuses.

🎉 A warm welcome from Snow College! 🎉 This week, Snow College rolled out the red carpet for the Utah College Advising Corps (UCAC) as our advisers travel across the state, connecting with USHE degree-granting institutions. UCAC advisers will also connect with USHE Technical Colleges regionally. Seeing this sign was such a highlight—thank you, Snow College, for making the cohort feel right at home! The UCAC program is all about empowering students and guiding them on their path to higher education. It’s inspiring to see institutions like Snow College embracing this mission and helping to create opportunities for students across Utah. #SnowCollege #UCAC #CollegeAccess #UtahEducation #HigherEd #collegeaccessadvisers

“Like most young adults when I started college, I didn’t know what direction to take.  SUU provided a powerful path of discovery, where I was able to try out different career options I was interested in. Through discovery, great professors and many leadership opportunities at SUU, I found my career. I found a work that I love and great people to work with. As an SUU alumna, I remember hoping at my graduation that one day I would be able to give back to a university that has given me so much. Every single thing I learned in higher education has been a springboard for my entire life.” -Jodi Hart-Wilson, SUU Board of Trustees Chair and partner in RRJ Consulting #TBirdNation #CollegeIsWorthIt #HigherEdLiftsUtah

"Higher education is very important to me and my entire family. I owe particular thanks to Southern Utah University. My wife Brenda, and I both obtained degrees from SUU that set the stage for all three of our children to also graduate from SUU. Two of our sons-in-law are T-Bird graduates as well. As a result, our entire family owes our livelihoods to obtaining meaningful educational experiences and degrees from a high-quality university right here in Utah from SUU." -Eric Schmutz, President and CEO of State Bank of Southern Utah, and Vice Chair of the SUU Board of Trustees #TBirdNation #CollegeIsWorthIt #HigherEdLiftsUtah
