Board of Regents of Applied Sciences, Technology and Education. The combination of knowledge, skills and abilities within the new school allows USU to offer cohesive and coordinated programs that will prepare students for higher paying, high-demand jobs in career and technical fields while also providing related undergraduate and graduate degree opportunities, including the training and licensure of teachers for career and technical programs, Miller said. “The new administrative structure, linking the Professional and Technical Education and Workforce Education divisions at USU Eastern to an academic unit on USU’s Logan campus, provides diverse opportunities for our students ranging from certificate programs to doctoral degrees,” Miller said. “The School of Applied Sciences, Technology and Education will create a value-added experience for all students enrolled in our programs.” The ASTE Department on the Logan USU campus offers undergraduate bachelor of science degrees in agricultural education and family and consumer sciences education, which prepare students for licenser in secondary education, as well as bachelor’s of science degrees in agricultural com-
with the Utah School for the Deaf. Most recently, Joe and JoAnn have worked on humanitarian projects in Egypt, taught English in China for 18 months in a program sponsored by Brigham Young University and are currently volunteering as instructors at an addiction recovery program in the Salt Lake Valley. Neil Warren Warren taught 43 1/2 years at the college, and says he would still be teaching if his eyesight was better. His debate programs were always top in the nation and he put Carbon College and College of Eastern Utah on the debate map against two- and four-year colleges and universities for decades. The size of the institution Warren’s debate team went against never mattered, his students were always some of the best in the nation. His teams won 24-national championship first-place awards, four-second place and 13-third place. At last count, the team won almost 300 trophies during his tenure as their beloved coach.

finished the night with a game of glow-in-the-dark Ultimate Frisbee. There is no doubt that we have an abundance of new students that like to have fun. After Night Games on Friday, students met again at the “Hello My Name is Dance” on Saturday of the opening college weekend. Here students enjoyed a night of get to know you dancing and a shirt signing fiesta. Another favorite activity was the Foam Party. We all know that soap suds plus dancing equal a sudsy good time. The opening social, the pool party, club registration and intramural registration
are other great activities that happened during these first two weeks of school. Don’t fret if you missed out, because there are plenty more activities to come! There is always something going on.

The week-long SkillsUSA competition ended with an awards ceremony where thousands of excited competitors, advisors and family gather to find out the winners of each contest. Victory is sweet and each member of the fabrication team walked away with over $1000 in prizes, including welding gear, Carhartt clothing, Kobalt tools, grinders…. Enough stuff that it wouldn’t fit into checked-baggage and had to be shipped back to Utah, Youngberg added. Jake Clement represented USU Eastern in the individual welder competition and placed fifth out of over 40-state champions. USU Eastern’s fabrication teams have taken gold or silver medals for four years straight. In the individual welder contest, USU-Eastern has brought home a medal in four of the last six years.
