October is #SafeU month at the University of Utah, and it’s the perfect time to reflect on how safety is at the heart of everything we do. A safe campus is essential for our students to thrive—allowing them to not only focus on their studies, but also discover their passion, people, and purpose with ease.
At the University of Utah, living on campus is designed to be more than just four walls and a bed. It’s a lifestyle—a one-stop hub for support, connection, and growth. With a recent restructuring of Housing & Residential Education, the newly formed Office of Residence Life is ensuring this vision remains a reality while strengthening Student Affairs’ commitment to student well-being and success.
I’d like to acknowledge the important announcement made on April 19 by the University of Utah in response to HB 261. Effective immediately, the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) centers—including the Black Cultural Center, American Indian Resource Center, Dream Center, and Center for Equity and Student Belonging—will be integrated into Student Affairs. Additionally, the EDI division will be eliminated on July 1.
