On Wednesday, August 27th, iUTAH EPSCoR team members attended Utah State University's Day on the Quad. This event was a valuable opportunity to connect with USU students, and share iUTAH messages. Throughout the course of the day, iUTAH team members reached over 100 students, sharing water sustainability issues and research, and iUTAH programs for undergraduate students. Many students expressed interest in applying for the 2015 iFellows Undergraduate Research Experience. iUTAH hopes to engage students on campuses statewide during similar events this year to advertise the iFellow program.

My Jordan River invites the community to be part of the movement. Explore the Jordan River corridor and submit your own story, poem or experience.
