The University of Utah swapped its colors from Crimson to Blue last weekend in support of Autism Awareness.
The U lit the George S. Eccles Legacy Bridge blue from March 31 through April 3. World Autism Awareness Day was April 2.
“I think coming together to show support for this disorder is extremely important as a community,” said Victoria Coleman, a student at the U. “Lighting the bridge blue is a positive way to illustrate a growing awareness of autism on campus.”
Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors.
