Memorial Day Monday, May 26, 2014
Dear Facilities, I wanted to thank Reid Olsen for spending Saturday with the high school women as part of the SWE spon-sored Engineering Extravaganza. We had close to 50 students and over half brought their parents. Reid’s workshop provided a very positive experience for these students. I hold out great hope that many of these women will come to USU and major in engineering. Thanks, Reid!

Dear Facilities,
I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the work that Ray Pitcher has been doing at the UWRL. He is very professional and thorough in his work. He has brightened up various dark hall-ways and stairwells at the UWRL with his painting and it looks 100% better. We sure appreciate the good job he is doing at the UWRL!
