Student BBQ

Jeff Rawlins, a USU Tooele student, grilled some of the most scrumptious amazing ribs and Dean Straquadine whipped up his famous tasty Dutch oven potatoes to get the BBQ started right.


Students gathered around the mouthwatering food at approximately 5pm ready to dive into a delicious meal. In addition they filled up their plates with the yummy sides dishes of baked beans, cole slaw, and jello.




The friendly visiting of students, staff, and faculty made for a wonderful evening. There was a great turn out at the BBQ as there were close to 150 people who joined in the fun. It was a great activity to wish everyone the best of luck for finals.

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and remind all the students of the Student Appreciation BBQ that will be held at the USU Tooele Campus on Monday Nov. 30th starting at 5pm.

P.S. I really hope you have an amazing "break" from school to enjoy time with family and friends.

Hard Work Pays Off

Wow what a busy week and a half. I have been doing so many different assignments, quizzes, and test in the past week and a half I was about to go crazy but I made it. I have been working so hard I thought I would reward myself by making the time to get to play volleyball with some friends tonight. It was so nice to get out and away from the studying and test taking for once. It was so much fun we played clear until 11:30pm at night. That wasn't such a great idea with work in the morning but hey I enjoyed ever last second. I just think it feels good getting all that work done and taking a break. I feel it was a break worth having. Students… don't forget to reward yourself after all the hard work is done. I had a friend that told me after each semester is over she celebrates by going on a short vacation. I know with busy schedules this isn't always possible but at least take a night off and enjoy some time with your family or friends.

Do you know about ASUSU?

When I started to attend the Tooele Regional Campus I just attended classes not thinking much about how Utah State University was organized until I got involved in the student government here at the Tooele Campus. Once I became a student representative I would hear ASUSU and had no clue what ASUSU really was. What is ASUSU and why is it important to the Tooele Campus? Well I later found out that ASUSU stood for Associated Students of Utah State University. ASUSU is important to Tooele because it is a group of students that are the link or connection to those in authority of the University. In other words if there are huge problems or changes that are needed to be made they are brought to the attention of ASUSU to be resolved. The ASUSU is a great board that helps keep USU in check. I am glad I had the opportunity to learn of ASUSU so if there big enough concerns I can contact someone on the board to bring up the concerns of our students here at Tooele. I have been crossing my fingers and hoping one day that there will be a person that sits on ASUSU that represents all Regional/Extension Campuses. If any you have concerns let me know and we can at least start there. :)

Tooele Main Street Trick-or-Treat

There is a tradition in Tooele where all the businesses on Main Street gather together and help support it's community by having a trick-or-treat for all the children on Halloween.

All the hundreds of children and their parents stroll down the street stopping at each store or company spot. Many of the companies not even located on Main Street will also gather near main street to hand out a treat or fun surprise.

USU Tooele has a spot on Main Street each year. This year Randi and I had the chance to put on our Aggie sweaters and participate in this event.




While handing out USU Tooele pencils to the kids we admired all the different costumes of the kids and some adults. I also had the chance to meet Randi's daughter. She was such a sport in helping us hand out pencils this year.
