Dear University of Utah community,

Happy New Year! As we begin 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our committed students, faculty, staff, researchers, health care providers, donors, alumni and friends for your efforts and contributions during the past year. Thanks to you, the U continues to rise toward excellence, with an even stronger reputation as one of the nation’s leading research universities and a new Wall Street Journal ranking of #1 public university in the West. I want to take a moment to recognize some significant accomplishments we made in 2023, which you’ll find below organized by month.
