Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water & Air

The Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water & Air is building new pathways to engage policy makers with important research. The institute is an interdisciplinary initiative designed by Dr. Noelle Cockett to bring together two critical discussion spaces - USU's research programs and state, county, and city governments - to create a positive impact for Utah. To strengthen that connection, the institute reports directly to the Office of the President and collaborates closely with the Office of Research and the Vice President for Federal and State Relations.

The institute brings together USU land, water, and air researchers and connects them with Utah problem solvers.
