This webinar focuses on one woman leader who has made a difference in Utah and beyond for decades. Dr. Susan R. Madsen will interview Gail Miller, co-founder and owner of the Larry H. Miller Company and chair of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. Considered a female pioneer in the business world, Gail credits her mother for teaching her what courage is, a lesson she would lean on after Larry’s death in 2009. Gail became the leader of more than 80 companies, the family foundation, and even had the final say on who played on the Utah Jazz. Her courage, vision, and commitment to making a difference have amplified the Larry H. Miller Company’s legacy of business leadership, community building, and philanthropic giving throughout the state. Gail will share inspiring lessons she has learned from her unexpected journey. She will also share why she believes women have more opportunities than ever before to excel in business. Finally, Gail will share her thoughts on what it means to “live your life on purpose,” and how being intentional with resources, talents, and passion can be a catalyst for making a difference in the lives of others, and especially in your own.

A few of the primary research questions she seeks to answer are: How do marine calcifiers make their shells? How do they exert control over trace element/Ca ratios and modify the trace element/Ca ratios so greatly from seawater. She seeks to find answers to these questions to improve paleo-proxies through culturing live specimens and applying laboratory-based developments to specimens from fossil record.

At USU Eastern, Josh is the curator of USU Eastern’s renowned Prehistoric Museum, and studies ecosystems of the Late Cretaceous period – the last 35 million years of the ‘Age of Dinosaurs.’ Using a combination of vertebrate paleontology, phylogenetics (how organisms are related), stratigraphy, sedimentology and osteology (anatomy and function of bone), he engages undergrad scholars in unlocking the pattern and process of evolution in the context of changing environments in the breathtaking landscapes of central and southern Utah and the Intermountain West.
FSQ at USU: Nature’s Resonance

Join us this February for an unforgettable evening of chamber music, showcasing both classical brilliance and bold contemporary innovation.
The program begins with Haydn’s "String Quartet in D Major, Op. 20, No. 4," a stunning example of the composer’s mastery in the quartet form. Part of his revolutionary Op. 20 set, this work captivates with its elegant interplay of voices and imaginative thematic development.
Continuing the program is the world premiere of a new work by composer Hitomi Oba, a rising star and member of Gabriela Lena Frank’s Academy. Known for her inventive style and fresh perspectives, Oba’s piece promises to be an inspiring addition to our season’s exploration of nature and music.
The evening concludes with Beethoven’s "String Quartet Op. 130," featuring the monumental "Grosse Fuge." This masterpiece, with its bold intensity and profound complexity, reflects the immense power of nature and the human spirit. This performance is part of a multi-year journey through Beethoven’s late quartets, culminating in the 2027-2028 season. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness a cornerstone of chamber music history unfold.

A Bolder Way Forward: Updates and Next Steps
Panel Discussion/Presentation
National and statewide studies continue to show that women and girls in Utah are not thriving in critical areas. Although the needle has moved slightly in a few areas, with its current trajectory it will take three or four decades to make notable progress. A BWF was launched in June 2023 to shake things up in Utah and make critical changes that are needed much faster. The primary aim of BWF is to help more Utah women, girls, and their families thrive. Utah women and girls thrive when all aspects of their safety, security, health, and wellbeing are met, allowing them to explore and pursue educational, professional, civic, leadership, and other opportunities according to their interests, and to feel abundant levels of support and a sense of belonging as they do so. Utah is struggling significantly in many of these areas, and that is simply unacceptable! Join Dr. Susan Madsen and others involved in the movement to learn about the progress that has been made, its current state, what is planned for the remainder of Year 2, and how to get involved in this meaningful work. When we lift Utah girls and women, we lift all Utahns!

LAEP Speaker Series: Siqi Zhu, Planning as Strategic Design
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture What is planning's relationship to design? In this lecture, I will argue for the necessity and efficacy of urban planning as a form of "strategic design", moving past traditional design's focus on discrete solutions -- be it a building or a landscape -- but borrowing traditional design's principles and methods to tackle systemic challenges like inequality, unaffordable housing, and climate change. Speaker Bio Siqi is an urban planner, technologist, and strategic designer who seamlessly integrates cities and technologies as dual focal points in his practice. With a strategic design mindset, he applies a creative combination of place-, community-, and technology-based solutions to complex, systemic urban challenges, such as climate change, infrastructural renewal, equitable development, and technological disruptions.

Communitas Lecture Series: Vance Byrd
Lecture/Readings
Vance Byrd is a scholar of late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German literature who investigates how literary and print culture intersect with the history of visual media. He will be speaking about his current book project, Listening to Panoramas, which looks beyond statues to discover how panoramic forms played a pivotal role in transatlantic visual and sonic cultures of commemoration. Panoramas gave audiences around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in stories about natural and urban landscapes as well as bloody battle scenes depicted on larger-than-life circular paintings. This book proposes that the emotions produced by the sonic and visual effects at panorama shows determine how the past is remembered and politicized. Furthermore, it investigates how Black artists have turned to the panoramic form to resist narratives about defeat and victory in the American Civil War and to reinscribe the history of the Black freedom struggles onto the medium.
The Communitas Lecture Series is a set of visiting artists, scholars, and design series. This series is free and open to the public!
