Value of Higher Ed
In the first of a three-part series, we dig into the stats that make the case for college and show that the U is an especially smart investment [“Is College Still Worth It?,” Fall 2024].
Loved this article in print. Came to download the page of stats, so thanks for making that available. Going to share that with my nephew trying to decide if he should go to school. Obviously, I’ll be pushing him toward the U. Go Utes!

The value proposition of higher education has changed over the last 10-15 years. And while I appreciate that college cost growth has slowed since 2020, the years leading up to that painted a very different picture, especially nationally. That being said, I’m glad my alma mater has this top of mind and is making adjustments to adapt to a shifting job market. Thanks for the interesting article. Very well done.

The Goff program sounds interesting. That’s something I’d want my kid to pursue. I love seeing my alma mater adapt and help students as the job market gets more and more difficult.

Vital Vision Care
The Moran Eye Center’s work bringing essential vision services to the Navajo Nation shows the critical importance of accessible health care [“Visionary Outreach,” Fall 2024].
Thank you for shining a light on this issue! The University of Utah does some great work helping the Indigenous community in Utah. I would love to see more about this program and the other programs that support such an important community in Utah’s history.

Campus Upgrade
The Ken Garff University Club offers something for everyone—from gourmet dining to family nights to game-day celebrations [“Welcome to the Club,” Fall 2024].
That restaurant looks so nice! I used to work on campus and would’ve loved a dining option like this. I ate at the Panda Express way too many times. Love seeing my U growing up! And that illustration is just adorable!

It’s shocking to me how much campus has changed since I graduated back in 1976. I’m too old to make a membership make sense, but 20-30 years ago, this would’ve been very appealing. Thanks for the great article.
