Over the past months, a number of significant accomplishments at the University of Utah have received scant public attention. Perhaps, this is to be expected in these discordant times where good news often loses out to the sensational or negative. But, as former chairs of the University’s Board of Trustees, we are grateful for the current stewardship of President Ruth Watkins and the notable progress that has been made in many key areas under her leadership.
From our own experience, we know that Watkins is building on the arc of progress of her predecessors, and her own contributions have made the difference in many of these areas.
