State of the University Address Cancelled

The State of the University Address at Utah State University, originally scheduled for Jan. 18, has been cancelled because of scheduling difficulties and the impending departure of President Kermit L. Hall.

 

Hall has been named as the new president of the University of Albany, which is part of the State University of New York. He assumes that position Feb. 1.

 

Hall said he wants his presidency at Utah State to end the way it began — with no public fanfare and with the focus on students. Rather than holding a farewell reception, he has asked for additional donations to the inaugural scholarship fund that he established on his arrival four years ago. The scholarship fund began with a $10,000 personal donation by Kermit and Phyllis Hall. The fund replaced a traditional inauguration ceremony.
