Utah Research on Capitol Hill

Each January, Utah State University and the University of Utah join together as the state’s two public research universities to demonstrate the value of research to an undergraduate education to legislators with a showing of research projects and products in Salt Lake City at the State Capitol. Originated by Utah State in 2001, this event is reserved for students whose home residence is Utah. Parents are invited to this day as well as members of the Board of Regents and USU’s Board of Trustees.
