Happy Fall! With the leaves turning colors, we are starting to

see all of the students back on campus! We

miss having you up here and cannot wait for

next summer. After taking a brief break, we are

looking into all your advice to make next year

even better. We have started working on getting

instructors for next summer and looking into

what tours we can offer next summer!

Speaking of next summer, housing contracts are

currently available! Check out our sponsored

housing HERE on the website to find

information about these properties and contact

information to find the place you’ll call home

next summer!

So now it a great time to enjoy your favorite

pumpkin spice treat and get ready for fall to

come in full swing!

Thank you all for filling out the End of Summer Survey! We love hearing your thoughts on our program! Check out

some of these testimonials!

“Just completed my fifteenth season as a Summer Citizens and we’ve signed up for

number sixteen in 2020! I think that says it all!”

“If you had a magic lamp

like Aladdin and you

wished for a perfect

summer, your Genie

would transport you to

Logan, Utah. You could

save the other two wishes

because everything you

wanted would be

available.”

-Norene and Fred Stafford

“Just what the doctor ordered; intellectual stimulation and cultural immersion in a return to nature setting.”

-Jean Tittle

“This has been such a wonderful

experience in so many ways!”

USU Announcements:

101 Years of “The Scotsman”

Have you ever seen the song that the students sing along

with the fight song at Aggie games? This song is called the

Scotsman! Written by a student in 1918 to demonstrate the

perseverance of USU and its students, this song is as

important as the fight song at Utah State Univeristy. Click

HERE to watch a video of students doing it. The lyrics can be

found below:

Show me a Scotsman,

Who doesn’t love the thistle.

Show me an Englishman,

Who doesn’t love the rose.

Show me a true-blooded

Aggie from Utah.

Who doesn’t love the spot . . .

Where the sagebrush grows!

On Fridays, we wear Aggie Blue!

Join Aggies everywhere and wear “Aggie Blue” and “Fighting White” every Friday in honor of

True Blue Aggie Fridays!

New Bag Check Policy:

Starting this fall, USU is implementing a phased security check for all attendees at

men’s basketball and football games during the 2019-20 season. This will

include a bag search for the upcoming sport seasons. Click HERE for more

details about what is permitted for the upcoming year if you’re planning on

coming to any Aggie Games!

Scholarship Recipients:

Kiley Duersch: Kiley recently graduated from Ridgeline High School and will be attending Utah State University in the fall. She plans to major in accounting. She is a good student and is passionate about gaining an education. During high school, she spent time as the girls’ basketball manager and served on the Nibley City Youth Council for three years. Part of her responsibilities on the youth council allowed her to plan some of the big events in Nibley. As the oldest in her family, she is a good example to both her siblings and others around her as she is driven and persistent in the face of opposition. She is a natural leader and is willing to work hard. Kiley is going to be successful in whatever she ends up doing in the future.

Every year, we are so grateful for the money that is donated to help a student attending Utah State

University. We are so grateful for all that you do to help support the youth of today! We would like to

introduce you to our two 2019 scholarship recipients.

Ashley Perez: Ashley recently graduated from Ridgeline High School and is going to school to become a high school Spanish teacher so that she can connect with her students and help them be successful both in the classroom and outside of it. In addition to helping her future students, Ashley is going to school to set an example to her younger brothers and those around her as she becomes the first person to graduate with a college degree in her family.

She truly cares about those around her and never ceases to show them. She is going to touch so many lives as she meets new people in her classes and on campus.
