51st Annual Honors Last Lecture

Lecture/Readings

Dr. Benjamin Burger, 2026 Honors Outstanding Professor from the Department of Water, Earth, and Environmental Sciences in the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources, will deliver the 51st Annual Honors Last Lecture, “Beyond Extinction: The Prehistoric Past and Surviving the Future.” The lecture itself will explore stories about how we can use the fossil and rock record to understand both the fragility of life during times of dramatic change and the remarkable resilience of ecosystems through Earth’s history and talk about what it means for our shared future. Initiated in 1976, the Honors Last Lecture has become an important tradition for the Utah State University community. Each year, a committee of Honors students selects one Honors Outstanding Professor, whom they invite to deliver an imagined "Last Lecture," a talk that shares wisdom and insight with students and community members as if it were the professor's final chance to lecture at USU. A reception will follow in the lobby of the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall. The livestream for a statewide audience and the recording of the event after its completion can be accessed from the Honors Program website.

Tools, Templates, and Practical Planning for Community-Engaged Learning Designations

Workshop/Training | Sparkshops

This Sparkshop is designed for faculty who incorporate community engagement or project‑based methods into their teaching and want a clearer path for developing CEL‑designated courses and learn about why they are powerful. The session begins with a brief, focused overview of Community Engaged Learning followed by a guided, step‑by‑step walkthrough of the CEL course designation and planning process. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of CEL principles, an instructional design module they can use for faculty development, and a practical checklist for implementing CEL projects in their own courses.

Fostering Student Well-Being: Strategies for Mental Health Support

Workshop/Training | Sparkshops

Mental health conditions among students in higher education – including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health challenges – are on the rise. Today’s student population also includes neurodiverse individuals who report higher levels of loneliness, stress, and mental health concerns compared to their peers. This session will provide practical strategies and resources for proactively creating a learning environment that supports student learning and well-being – particularly among students who are experiencing (or at risk for) mental health challenges. Attendees will explore appropriate ways to adapt teaching methods to foster inclusion, encourage resilience, and support academic success.
