Road Scholars Tour 2006

Utah State University has once again been hitting the road to spread the word about USU to future Aggies.

As part of the 2006 USU Road Scholars Tour, delegations of Utah State faculty, advisors, administrators and staff have been in Utah high schools teaching classes, talking to students about how to prepare for college and answering questions about Utah State.

 

The Road Scholars Tour began with an open house for high school students and their parents in Cache Valley on Thursday, Nov.2, where 394 people attended and 141 students applied to USU. The USU admissions staff awarded 110 scholarships that night totaling $431,900.

 

The Road Scholars Tour moved south to Davis County on Wednesday, Nov 8. Utah State faculty taught classes in Davis and Weber high schools, while Utah State University President Stan L. Albrecht and Vice President for Student Services Gary Chambers met with local principals and high school counselors. That evening, 489 parents and students attended an open house to learn more about Utah State and another 110 scholarships were awarded. The tour continued to the Provo area on the evening of Tuesday, Nov.14.

 

The next stop for the Utah State delegation will be Tuesday, Nov 21, at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy from 6 to 8 p.m.. USU faculty will be teaching classes in Alta and Riverton high schools, while USU administrators meet with counselors and high school administrators.

 

Following the event in the Salt Lake area, the Road Scholars Tour will travel farther south, making stops in St. George and Las Vegas on Wednesday, Nov. 29, and Thursday, Nov. 30. This will be the first time that Utah State has taken such a large delegation to these areas.
