The USU Advising Conference has been a tradition for the advising community for over 30 years. It is a special day with time to connect with old colleagues and welcome the new members of our community. The critical work of advisors changes the lives of USU students. This important day holds space for advisors to strengthen their practice and set goals for the coming year. We are looking forward to another great conference.

Pre-Conference Activities – July 28, 2026
We are kicking off the conference with a service project supporting the Little Lambs Foundation for Kids.
Please join us to organize and package hygiene kits – and enjoy a dirty soda bar!
2-4 PM | Perry Pavilion Huntsman Hall (HH)
Little Lambs Foundation for Kids mission is to strengthen Utah families by providing essential items, education, and resources to break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter, more secure future for children and their families.
We want to support this initiative by asking folks from around campus to donate items for the hygiene kits. While we are happy to accept anything you want to bring, we invite each college to focus on certain items in the hopes we will get a variety of donations:
- Arts and Science – Full size shampoos, hair ties
- Agriculture and Natural Resources – Full size body washes, bars of soap
- Education and Human Services – Full size toothpastes, toothbrushes, floss
- Engineering – Full size conditioners, small hairbrushes
- Business – Deodorants for men and women
- Everyone else – Lotions, chap sticks, period products
The goal of our project is to uplift struggling families and foster youth by providing necessary items that no child should have to go without. Each kit will be thoughtfully assembled with dignity in mind.
