UIT SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR INVITED TO WHITE HOUSE AS MAKE SALT LAKE REPRESENTATIVE[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″]

[/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]On Aug. 7, 2016, Beth Sallay, an IT systems administrator at the University of Utah, was elected to lead Make Salt Lake, a nonprofit “makerspace” that provides education and tools to local creators and inventors. Last week, Sallay represented Make Salt Lake at Nation of Makers – Makerspace Organizers Meeting and Workshop that was held on Aug. 24 at the White House. The event is associated with the White House’s efforts toward “empowering students and adults to create, innovate, tinker, and make their ideas and solutions into reality is at the heart of the Maker Movement.”

TREE REMOVAL AROUND OSH[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]In preparation for construction on the building that will replace OSH, the University of Utah considered several options for managing the trees in the vicinity, including adjusting the building location and consulting with expert arborists. Ultimately, several trees were removed. While 14 trees were able to be transplanted to other locations around campus, not all were viable candidates. Two of the trees will be used to create stepping blocks and a play structure for the playground at the Child and Family Development Center at the Alfred Emery Building. Some of the trees will be used to make signage and furniture that will go in the new building, and others were removed because they were diseased.

The University of Utah is currently developing a landscape master plan that aims to introduce more species diversity into the tree population on campus. This is beneficial because trees are less likely to spread disease to different species. The University of Utah has been a state arboretum for 55 years. In 2015, it received Tree Campus USA recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation after, among other things, forming a tree advisory committee, maintaining a campus tree-care plan and dedicating annual expenditures for the campus tree program.[/bs_col][/bs_row]
