CWEL director, Dr. Kelly Kopp, met with Governor Cox and team, President Cockett, and other members of the faculty to discuss the upcoming inaugural report from USU’s Institute for Land, Water and Air.

The report will provide the most up-to-date research findings by USU faculty and collaborators on natural resource issues facing the state.

The institute is an interdisciplinary initiative designed by President Noelle Cockett to bring together two critical discussion spaces—USU’s research programs and state, county, and city governments—to create a positive impact for Utah. To strengthen that connection, the institute reports directly to the Office of the President and collaborates closely with the Office of Research and the Vice President for Federal and State Relations.
