This includes how human well-being is supported by nature, as represented by the importance of ecosystem services or, similarly, human and ecological meanings and services. Additionally, my current research focuses on perceptions of relevant drivers of change within the context of human-nature relationships. That is, how are people’s connection to some natural resource of interest potentially threatened or enhanced by a diverse range of influential factors, including management actions, climate change, land use change, and tradeoffs among differing human-nature relationships?

Sagebrush People Reading Group
Meeting
Student discussion group open to anyone who considers themselves remotely connected to sagebrush systems.
Within the QNCR (or likely even broader), we have a lot of research projects across the West that are directly or indirectly related to sagebrush, and this presents a fantastic opportunity for us at USU to periodically get together and discuss topics we’re interested in from our own perspectives on the natural resources spectrum.
We can cover many aspects of sagebrush landscapes – plant-soil interactions, human recreation, sagebrush restoration, mammals, invertebrates, etc.—so don’t hesitate to suggest any ideas! It can also be daunting to lead a discussion by yourself, so feel free to partner up with one or two others if you would like to lead the discussion on your chosen topic.
This is the last meeting of the semester; if we need to adjust due to finals/leaving for holiday, we can.

Within these mobile stores, customers find a handpicked selection that includes vintage classics and limited-edition high-end items, each meticulously crafted from discarded textiles that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

Entrepreneur Leadership Series: Jon Schmidt
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Jon Schmidt is a contemporary American pianist and composer, celebrated for his versatile musical talent and compositions.

He started teaching piano lessons at 16 and began a successful solo career in his early twenties.

When going to college, Schmidt was worried about a career in music. He studied English and planned to get an MBA. After continuous pestering from people asking him to play the piano, he finally rented out a concert hall to introduce himself to the public. His audience loved him, and he hasn’t regretted pursuing his music career.
Jon Schmidt is a member of The Piano Guys, a musical group known for their innovative arrangements and music videos. The Piano Guys was formed in 2010 and the group has a large online following which has created millions of views on YouTube. Their goal is to inspire those who listen to their music.

Prospero uses magic to conjure a storm and torment the survivors of a shipwreck, including the King of Naples and Prospero’s treacherous brother, Antonio. Prospero’s slave, Caliban, plots to rid himself of his master, but is thwarted by Prospero’s spirit-servant Ariel. The King’s young son Ferdinand, thought to be dead, falls in love with Prospero’s daughter Miranda. Come experience the intrigue, the magic, and see for yourself how all will resolve.
