Utah State University | 2016 | Presidential Leadership Profile4

Utah State University — with its main campus located in scenic Logan, Utah — serves nearly 29,000 students

who learn from and undertake research with world-renowned faculty. USU’s classrooms extend far beyond the

borders of its Logan campus, with regional campuses or Extension offices serving every county in Utah, including

a comprehensive regional college — USU Eastern. USU students choose from among 168 undergraduate degrees

and 143 graduate degrees. The university generates more than 200 million dollars annually in external research

funding and has the second oldest undergraduate research program in the nation. As Utah’s land-grant institution,

USU has a mission to serve diverse communities throughout the entire state.

The president is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Board of Regents and works closely with the USU

Board of Trustees. Candidates must have demonstrated success in a leadership role at a land-grant and/or Carnegie

research-intensive institution, as well as have a distinguished record of intellectual achievement and excellence in

fundraising and fiscal responsibility. A terminal degree or equivalent is required.

USU has experienced remarkable growth over the last decade. Candidates should highlight experiences showing

successful leadership in both fundraising and institutional growth to enhance USU’s national visibility. Candidates

must have a demonstrated commitment to advocating for students and fostering diversity. The candidate must

effectively communicate his or her vision for USU and expand relationships with stakeholders, including local

communities and the Utah Legislature.

The Utah State Board of Regents invites nominations and applications for the position of president of Utah State University (USU), Utah’s land-grant institution and one of two research institutions in the Utah System of Higher Education.

1. The Opportunity


As Utah’s land-grant and space-grant institution, the university has more than 750 faculty who provide edu-

cation for more than 28,600 undergraduate and graduate students, including 14,403 at its distance education

sites located throughout the state of Utah and 2,500 at USU Eastern.

With eight colleges, the university offers 168 undergraduate degrees, 143 graduate degrees and 94 minors.

Utah State is known for its strength in academics and counts 20 Goldwater Scholars among its graduates

in the past ten years. USU professors brought in $232 million research funding in fiscal year 2015, a record

number. But regardless of these distinguished successes, USU’s top research professors do not confine

themselves to labs and offices; they teach and inspire their students every day. And they do it well. USU

now has 14 Carnegie Professors of the Year — more than any other school in the state.

Utah State University is the state’s second largest public research university; its emphasis on research and

discovery inspires more than 1,000 students to pursue their own research projects every year. USU is one

of only two universities in the state to receive USTAR (Utah Science Technology and Research) funding and

is committed to recruiting high-caliber faculty who work with students on leading research projects.

Since its founding in 1888, Utah State University has evolved from a small, agricultural college to one that is nationally and internationally recognized for its intellectual and technological leadership in land, water, space and life enhancement.

Utah State University is recognized for its student engagement. USU, the oldest residential campus in Utah,

has more than 200 student clubs and organizations, including the Special Olympics and Best Buddies

programs, which are some of the largest in the country. Strongly committed to promoting opportunities

for students to work with scholars engaged in research, USU holds the world record for sending the most

student experiments into space. Around the globe, USU students study abroad at more than 140 partner

institutions.

Utah State University is also well known for its statewide reach. With distance education classes that date

back before 1900, USU’s distance education program has grown to offer nearly 50 degrees, including

the state’s only distance-delivered doctoral degree. Today, USU has one comprehensive community

college (USU Eastern), four regional campuses and nearly 40 education centers. Additionally, USU is the

state’s only land-grant institution, providing Extension units in all of Utah’s 29 counties and at the Ogden

Botanical Center, Thanksgiving Point and the Utah Botanical Center.

Undergraduate Research USU’s undergraduate research program is the second oldest in the nation. Students embrace the opportunities offered

by collaboration and are given opportunities to work closely with research faculty. In a place where fertile minds flourish

and grow, the university inspires more than 1,000 students to pursue their own research projects every year. Under-

graduate research allows them to passionately explore curiosity and ask questions while conducting research in varying

academic fields.

CPD: 35 Years of Making a Difference The Center for Persons with Disabilities in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services marked its

35th birthday in June 2007. The center has impacted the lives of people with disabilities, their families and communities

throughout the nation and world.

Space Dynamics Lab: 50 Years of the Space Age in Utah In 2007, the university celebrated 50 Years of Space. From its humble beginnings in 1947, tens of thousands of Utahns

have been employed at SDL and the research has contributed millions of dollars to the Utah economy while participating

in a staggering variety of space and national defense activities.

Utah Water Research Laboratory Celebrates 50 Years USU’s Utah Water Research Laboratory celebrated 50 years in 2015 and has been a leader in applied research aimed at

solving current and future interdisciplinary water-related challenges in Utah and around the globe. This tradition contin-

ues today, with internationally renowned UWRL faculty and their students engaged in cutting-edge research benefiting

all 29 Utah counties, several states and historically more than 70 countries.

At a place where conventional wisdom is challenged and reimagined constantly, USU faculty researchers are engaging in fields of study the world can’t live without. USU is one of Utah’s two research universities and, with a record-breaking $232 million in external research funding received in fiscal year 2015, it has grown into a thriving research university known and respected around the world.

Research3.


By continually expanding its presence across the state, USU’s regional campus system has grown from an enroll-

ment of 6,991 students in 2005 to an impressive 16,420 students, including 2,500 students at USU Eastern in 2015.

This is thanks, in part, to the extraordinary partnerships involving local residents who are devoted to the expansion

of higher educational opportunity within their communities.

The regional campus system provides access to a wide range of relevant, high-quality courses, degree programs

and research opportunities that combine instructional excellence with innovative technologies by full USU profes-

sors who go through the same promotion and tenure process as professors on the main USU campus in Logan.

Since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, USU has provided educational lectures, science and agricultural

demonstrations and credit-based classes throughout the state. Over time, the development of USU’s distance

education has paralleled and mirrored the growth of technology. The delivery of courses has progressed from

the early days of horse and buggy travel to teaching via satellite and interactive video conferencing.

On any given day, thousands of students from all over the state, nation and even the world are taking classes,

working on degrees and improving their lives through USU.

As Utah’s land-grant institution, USU is charged with providing an education to all who desire and qualify regardless of socioeconomic status or geography. The university has overseen the robust growth and funding, both from private and public sources, for the educational opportunities in Logan and around the state of Utah.

Araknitek, Inc. is a Utah State University “spin-out”

company created to commercialize products that emerge

from scientific investigations of synthetic spider silk

proteins led by USU USTAR professor Randy Lewis.

Synthetic spider silk holds promise as a leading biomaterial

of the future with its unrivaled combination of strength

and elasticity. It is 100 times stronger than natural ligaments

and 10 times stronger than natural tendons; it is stronger

than Kevlar and more elastic than nylon.

The material holds great promise for use as artificial

tendons, ligaments, skin and bone. Additional applications

envisioned for the silk include safer airbags, lighter and

stronger body armor and lighter, impact-resistant and

fuel-efficient vehicle parts.

The Caine College of the Arts provides a collaborative culture

in which a unified “community of the arts” can thrive. This

collaboration supports opportunities in discovery, teaching

and learning and connections across artistic disciplines.

USU is the only higher education institution in the state with

a professional string quartet in residence, the Fry Street

Quartet. The quartet performs at USU’s Manon Caine Russell

Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall, a world-class

structure where the technical marvels of its cutting-edge

acoustics are unmatched. The university’s Nora Eccles Harri-

son Museum of Art houses one of the largest permanent art

collections in the Intermountain West that includes a large

collection of Native American artwork.

Each year, Logan offers summer performances by the Utah

Festival Opera Company, the university’s own Lyric Repertory

Company, rotating art exhibits, a daily summer music series,

quarterly community-wide gallery walks and various festivals

throughout the year.

USU seeks to make arts and culture more visible, more innovative and more fully integrated into the intellectual and cultural life of the university and the community it serves.

7.Cultural &Performing Arts


Curricular and co-curricular community engagement is accomplished through the USU Center for Civic Engagement

and Service-Learning (CCESL). Through CCESL’s Service-Learning program, faculty engage with local, regional,

national and global community organizations and government entities in partnerships to provide real-world practical

experience for students. Co-curricular community engagement is carried out by the student-driven Val R. Christensen

Service Center, the oldest campus volunteer center in Utah.

Community engagement at USU is the partnership of college and university knowledge and resources with those of

the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, research and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching and

learning; prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical

societal issues; and contribute to the public good. USU is committed to achieving the 2020 Carnegie Community

Engagement Classification, a prestigious recognition that will serve as a roadmap for institutional improvements in

community engagement.

As a land-grant institution, community engagement is built into Utah State University’s mission. USU aims to blend community engagement into its policies, curricular work, research and co-curricular activities.

Service Learning8.


These would become places where conventional wisdom could be challenged and reimagined constantly, where

fertile minds could flourish and grow and where one could learn how to lead their communities — and the world

— toward a better, smarter future. It was one simple idea, but it’s already led to millions more.

What started as a small-town college tucked away in the Northern Utah mountains has grown into a thriving

research university known and respected around the world. Utah State University nurtures innovation and

embraces possibility.

More than 153 years ago, some people with foresight had a very good idea: set aside land and money for a new kind of college — our nation’s land-grant universities.

Heritage9.


On the Logan campus, construction was completed on Huntsman Hall, a state-of-the-art addition that wraps

around the George S. Eccles Business Building. Students also celebrated the opening of the USU Student

Recreation & Wellness Center building, located next to the existing Health, Physical Education and Recreation

building. Those attending Aggie football games in fall 2016 will be able to observe first-hand the major renova-

tion of the newly-named Maverik Stadium.

Across the state new classroom buildings were opened at USU Eastern in Price, as well as at USU-Tooele and

USU-Brigham City. The facilities contain broadcast-enabled classrooms, lecture halls, multi-purpose rooms

and offices for faculty, advisors and staff.

As enrollment numbers continue to hit record marks, USU has adapted to fit the needs of an increasing number of students.

Nearly all of USU’s Aggie Shuttles, which transport nearly 1 million people a year, run

on compressed natural gas. It is the state’s only alternative-fuel bus system in higher

education. USU’s central heating system burns natural gas, reducing air pollutants in

Cache Valley by more than 230 tons annually.

The student-run Aggie Blue Bikes program provides bicycle loans to students and employees

free of charge.

The campus has several low-water-usage gardens, which showcase native plants and have

interpretive displays that encourage people to garden with water-efficient plants.

Over the past 15 years, USU has retrofitted 3.5 million square feet of space with efficient

fluorescent lighting, reducing the university’s energy usage by 30 percent.

The university runs the Utah Botanical Center, the Utah House in Kaysville and the Swaner

EcoCenter and Preserve outside Park City. These centers preserve the natural environment

and educate visitors about living in ways that conserve natural resources.

Even with a 20 percent increase in the student population since 1990, the university has

managed to keep energy consumption to a minimum, increasing by only 1 percent during

that time.

Several major university research projects revolve around sustainability, including research

on intuitive buildings that save energy and developing biofuels from algae and plant growth

on previously unused municipal land.

In 2010, USU President Stan Albrecht approved a Climate Action Plan aimed at minimizing USU’s greenhouse gas emissions. The plan is part of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment that the president signed in 2007. He was the first in the state to sign the pledge.

Sustainability11.


Finances12.

As expected, enrollments are up at nearly all of USU’s campuses. Headcount on the main campus increased nearly

7 percent to a record high of just under 18,000 students in the fall of 2015. Regional campuses also experienced

impressive enrollment growth and the number of online courses taken by USU students continues to increase

dramatically. USU anticipates enrollment fluctuations to level over the next few years and is prepared for modest

but steady growth moving forward.

The university has a diverse source of revenues, including those from the state of Utah, student tuition and fees,

sponsored research programs, private support and self-supporting enterprises. This diversity of revenues continues

to provide financial stability and significant protection against potentially difficult future economic times.

Utah boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the nation. As a result of expanding state revenues, the university received new ongoing and one-time appropriations during the previous legislative session and the forecast for sustained economic growth improves the opportunity for increased legislative funding support for the university.

The Utah State University Board of Trustees consults with and gives advice to the president on

matters related to the institution. The board consists of nine people appointed by the governor to

four-year terms, and two ex-officio members who are the president of the Utah State University

Alumni Association and the president of the student body of the university.

The president is supported by an exceptional administrative council of professionals who are experts

in their own fields.

The Faculty Senate is an independent part of the governance structure of the university whose main

charge is the development, review and modification of educational policies. This arrangement has

helped create an atmosphere of cooperation and a sense of shared responsibilities for furthering

the university’s values.

A complete organizational chart is provided at the end of this document.

Utah State University is one of eight public higher education institu-tions governed by the Utah Board of Regents. The Board of Regents is comprised of nineteen residents of the state of Utah. Sixteen members are appointed by the governor with the consent of the Utah Senate. The Board of Regents establishes the policy and funding direction for the eight campuses and also appoints their respective presidents.

Cache Valley is Utah’s hidden treasure. It’s a land of dairy farms, small towns, stunning

mountains, modest cities, friendly people and internationally-renowned live arts perfor-

mances. The area’s majestic mountains provide outstanding all-season outdoor recre-

ation. There are numerous dining, lodging and shopping offerings. The qualities of the

valley are at the same time unique and familiar, yet natural and exceptional.

Logan is Utah’s heart of the arts all summer long when its historic theatre district siz-

zles with hundreds of performances. The stunning Ellen Eccles Theatre is home of the

renowned Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre during July and early August. The

city of Logan is home to a dozen art galleries and specialty shops and great examples of

early Mormon pioneer architecture. USU’s own Caine Lyric Theatre is a part of the vibrant

theater district and is home to the professional Lyric Repertory Company. Based in USU’s

Theatre Arts Department, it presents four plays each summer and actors travel from

around the county to perform with the company.

Nestled at the foot of the nearly 10,000-foot high Bear River Range, Logan’s setting is

beautiful in any season. Residents consider Logan Canyon a 40-mile community park

leading to 18-mile long Bear Lake, called the Rocky Mountain Caribbean for its azure blue

waters. Outstanding fishing, biking, hiking, skiing and golfing-all are minutes away. Even

with the natural beauty, Logan has an excellent park system, boasting one of Utah’s two

zoos and a challenging municipal golf course.

Beyond the natural beauty of the Cache Valley region, economic benefits, created

in part by the university, also adds to the attraction of the mountain valley location.

A strong economy enhances living standards and cultural opportunities.

Located in the city of Logan in northern Utah’s Cache Valley, USU is 80 miles northeast of Salt Lake City and is within a day’s driving distance of six national parks. The surrounding area, including ski resorts, lakes, rivers and mountains, makes USU one of the finest recreational environments in the nation.
