Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebration of life and death that connects family members and allows many to grow closer with their loved ones.

On display are calaveras (decorated skulls), photos, food, candles, and marigold flowers to represent different kinds of ofrendas. People are welcome to dedicate a small portion of that ofrenda to someone they lost by writing their name on the ofrenda wall.

Meeting

Join us as we transition from a Friday lunch to a Tuesday breakfast in our Teaching Tuesdays for USUE Faculty.

The designation can apply to all sections of a course or an individual section and specific instructor. Breakfast Generously Provided by AVP Doug Miller.

Communitas - David Benjamin Sherry

Arts/Entertainment

David Benjamin Sherry is an artist working to challenge and reinvigorate the American Western landscape tradition by examining our complex interconnection with the natural world, with an emphasis on queer identity, color, and magic. Sherry’s work aims to celebrate the beauty of the American landscape and engage with the fraught history of the West, with its glorified legend of freedom fabricated from stolen lands, which continue to be threatened today. Through the media of analog film photography and painting, his vibrant, large-scale and often monochrome works present a new perspective on the subject. Sherry states that “color is a conduit for me to convey and promote an emotional resonance for the landscape, while weaving in my sense of otherness as a queer person, and to symbolically represent those who have been inaccurately left out of the American West’s mythical narrative of rugged (straight, white, male) individualism.”

Sherry was born in Stony Brook, New York, and lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He received his BFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and his MFA in photography from Yale University in 2007, where he was awarded the Richard Dixon Welling Prize. In 2010, he received the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant. A multi-part installation of his work was exhibited in Greater New York 2010 at MoMA PS1, New York. Sherry taught Western landscape and large-format photography as a distinguished faculty member at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2018. In the fall of 2020, he joined the Yale MFA Photography program as a visiting critic, and in 2023, he taught the Graduate Seminar in Photography at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

Corporation for Supportive Housing, the Source for Housing Solutions, Illinois Program No truer words have ever been spoken than Dorothy’s “There’s no place like home.” A home is more than just the physical structure; it is a place that emotes comfort, safety, and belonging. Yet for many the storied dream of home is more fiction than fairytale. I’ll share my experiences, how a chance encounter with public housing led to a career dedicated to working to help the under – and un-housed; and along the way, how my professional association helped prepare me to tackle career challenges.

Promoting Civility and Dignity in Utah

Panel Discussion/Presentation

In a time when respectful dialogue and understanding are more essential than ever, we invite community members, leaders, and advocates to join us for an engaging panel dedicated to fostering civility and dignity across Utah. Tami Pyfer will discuss the Dignity Index, which serves as a powerful tool for measuring and promoting dignity in our interactions. This framework helps individuals and organizations assess their impact on others and encourages practices that uphold the inherent worth of every person. Becky Edwards will talk about her passion around electing responsive, thoughtful Utahns who will focus on civility and have complex policy conversations that focus on true governing. Civility and dignity are overarching topics important to A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). The BWF aims to inspire Utahns to engage in civil discourse and make meaningful connections across differences. To do this, we encourage Utahn’s across the state to focus on active listening, empathy, and respectful communication, which will pave the way for creating positive change in Utah.

MUSES

Arts/Entertainment

The word "muse" describes a source of inspiration. This annual music therapy concert aims to highlight the multi-faceted sources of inspiration for USU music therapy students both personally and professionally. In our field of study, we often talk about “self as instrument”, or rather, being the instrument of change within the therapeutic relationship. During MUSES, we get to shift our focus to also celebrate our external musical skills and instruments as extensions of ourselves, and the tools by which we get to share creative self-expression with the world. Concert goers will enjoy original compositions in addition to contemporary and classical pieces that have been intentionally chosen to represent the experiences of our students and potential clinical applications of these works in music therapy practice. Additionally, attendees may have the opportunity to get involved first-hand with our interactive lobby experience before the performance. For more information, visit www.usumtsa.weebly.com.

13,000+ Years of Indigenous History in Eastern Utah

Lecture/Readings

Eastern Utah is well-known for the spectacular rock art found in places like Nine Mile Canyon and the Puebloan architecture of Bears Ears National Monument and other landscapes. But the stories of the indigenous people who have called this land home for millennia are also preserved in much less notable sites that reflect the ephemera of daily activities such as cooking a meal or making a tool. Join Dr. Tim Riley as he explores the material history of this landscape with a focus on how we can learn more about people from the objects they left behind and how we can visit these places today with minimal impact and maximal respect. 

Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah," come hear Eastern Prehistoric Museum Director Tim Riley talk about the first human inhabitants of Eastern Utah.
