University of Utah

At the beginning of my senior year, I applied to almost ten different colleges and universities – from the east coast to the west coast and basically everything in between. I remember my reaction for each and every return letter I got. The one that stood out the most was the letter from Utah State University. Out all of the acceptance letters Utah State University was the only letter that made me jump up and down, and squeal like the excited little girl I was in that moment. My reaction was not something I could explain. For as long as I could remember I did not want to even consider Utah State University as a possibility.

chosen Utah for my state report. Before, I knew less about Utah. I knew that there were many national parks there, because I “kind of” researched them while trying to choose my national park for the national park report. I also knew that Salt Lake City was the capital of Utah. One other thing I know was that Utah had a low population. I didn't really know anything else about Utah before. In this report, I will tell you about Utah. It will be about how Utah became a state, famous people from…

The person I choose to interview was Taylor Kenneth Hammond from West Jordan, Utah. He has moved a total of 3 times in his lifetime, thus far, to finally end up in Lubbock, Texas.

During our discussion, he brought up many course related material such as: stereotypes, diversity consciousness, cultural competence. He also…

downtown with Salt Lake City International Airport just to the northwest and leaves for the east through Parley's Canyon I-215 forms a 270-stage loop across the town. City Creek Centre is the city's hottest main shopping mall and features several high-end suppliers not found anywhere else in Utah.
