The Luminary celebrates 10-year anniversary
By Bailey Daniels STATESMAN SENIOR REPORTER
On Aug. 22, first-year Utah State University students took part in the 10th annual Luminary, a symbolic occasion that welcomes incoming Aggies.
The tradition includes first-year students walking from the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum to the Quad holding small paper lanterns designed to look like Old Main’s iconic Block A. The students’s lanterns glow white, and along their path to the Quad stand alumni, friends and family holding their own lanterns that glow blue.
The path they take is significant because it is the opposite route during their commencement ceremony for graduation. Many kinds of new Aggies were in attendance, including transfer and international students. However, the most prominent group were those who took the USU Connections course before returning students began their own classes.
Connections is a course designed to help students transfer to college life and take advantage of the university’s many opportunities. According to usu.edu, 74% of first-year students take the course, and 91% of them find it beneficial.
Logan’s campus is not the only one to participate, as Aggies from across the state participated at the same time. The other campuses who upheld the tradition were in Price, Tooele and Blanding.
Three of these incoming students who participated were Katelyn Crouch, Katelynn Cunninghan and Alexis Whiten. Both Crouch and Cunninghan are transfer students from Snow College in Ephraim, while Whiten is a first-year student from Payson. Crouch and Cunningham met at Snow and met Whiten during their time in Connections.
“I love school, so it’s fun to be in a new place for sure,” Crouch said. “I had never really heard of the Luminary before, so I’m excited to see what it is. This is a way bigger school than Snow College.”
The three participated in the Luminary together, having remained connected to old friends and making new ones through Connections.
The event opened with speaker Sierra Graul, assistant director for student success and student orientation and transition services, welcoming the incoming class of 2029. She led students to turn on their lanterns together, and as the overhead lights dimmed in the Spectrum, it was illuminated instead by a sea of new Aggies.
The program was then passed over to Harrison Kleiner, associate vice provost for general education and an associate professor of philosophy.
“I’m really honored to be part of one of your first experiences as an Aggie,” Kleiner said. “I’ve heard so many wonderful stories about these Connections classes, and looking out at this crowd, there’s a lot of really bright futures here in the Spectrum tonight.”
In their Connections groups, many led by peer mentors, the lantern-wielding students made their way to the Quad as the sun began to set behind the valley’s Wellsville Mountains. As they were cheered on by their community, they filed onto the Quad in the shape of an A while a drone above took a picture of the white lights held up by the class of 2029. The light on Old Main turned blue, welcoming the newest members of the Aggie family.
“This is your moment. You’re going to be golden,” Kleiner said. “This commencement tonight will end in four years at your graduation commencement, and that will be a public, viable sign of being transformed. On that day, when Utah State becomes your alma mater, we will celebrate your growth as an educated person.”
This is your moment. You’re going to be golden.

Former USUSA club president sentenced to two years in prision for coronavirus fraud scheme
STATESMAN STAFF REPORT
On Aug. 21, former Utah State University Muslim Student Club president Mubarak Sulaiman Ukashat of Kaysville was sentenced to two years of federal prison for fraud scheme, identity theft and wire fraud. The facility of his incarceration has not yet been publicly announced.
Ukashat was born in Nigeria, coming to America to pursue a doctorate in physics in 2015. He became a lawful permanent resident shortly after arrival. He led the club in 2020 and reportedly used its USUSA bank account to send around $333,900 of coronavirus relief funds through the Economic Injury Disaster Loan, EIDL, Program. He was living in Taylorsville at the time of the crime.
According to the press release of the sentencing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Utah on Aug. 21, he submitted four fraudulent EIDL applications
to the Small Business Administration using the names of four people he had no connection to, directing the money to the club bank account he had control over.
“Ukashat then used wire transfers to move the EIDL proceeds into another America First Credit Union account, over which he had ownership and control and held jointly with a relative before spending the funds on unauthorized personal expenses,” the press release stated.
In addition to the EIDL funds, Ukashat fraudulently obtained state unemployment insurance benefits totaling $58,927. He spent the money on car and debt payments and transferred over $100,000 outside of the United States to individuals in Nigeria and Dubai.
In addition, Ukashat was sentenced to three years of supervised release and must pay back the full $392,827.

ArtSci hosts first ever Plaza Palooza
By Sam Isaacson STATESMAN SENIOR REPORTER
On Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m., the Eccles Science Learning Center was packed with students attending the first annual Plaza Palooza. The event was hosted by the new College of Arts & Sciences to welcome new and incoming students back to USU for the 2025– 26 school year.
The event had fun opportunities for students with different games, activities and food trucks. Students also got to learn more about the college through information booths featuring the different departments and centers.
Lisa Poulsen, the administrative assistant for the college’s Dean’s Office, said they decided to host this event so students could come and get a good first look at this new college.
“This year is pretty special because it’s the first annual hosting of this event and also it’s the first time students will really get a look at this new combined college,” Poulsen said. “We’re here to welcome and show them what we look like now as the new College of Arts and Sciences, what departments we’re going to be, what centers are included, who’s who and where everyone’s kind of landed in this shuffling and recombining of these three big colleges into one.”
Natalie Smoot, the director of staff excellence for ArtSci, said she hoped this event would help students learn more about what the future holds for this new college.
“I think this is a really great opportunity for students to learn about all the departments, centers and clubs
we have to offer,” Smoot said. “We want students to feel like they have a community and they have a sense of home here at Utah State. I feel like doing events like this helps students know they’re a part of something bigger and that we care and want them to succeed.”
Poulsen said she hoped this event would get students excited about this new change.
“We want the students to feel like they are part of something exciting,” Poulsen said. “This is a neat new thing. It’s historic, and they get to be a part of it from the beginning.”
This will be the first year the former Caine College of the Arts, College of Humanities and Social Sciences and College of Science will be officially combined into the new college.
This new college is one of two that have gone through restructuring at USU — the other being the new S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, which combined the former S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources and the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences.
USU restructured five colleges into two as part of USU’s strategic reinvestment plan in compliance with Utah’s new state law House Bill 265: Higher Education Strategic Reinvestment. If students are interested in learning more about the restructuring of these colleges, they can visit the USU Changes to Academic Colleges page at usu.edu/president/reinvestment/colleges.cfm to learn more.
Smoot said since this is the first event, they would love to hear from students who attended.
“I feel like there’s always room for growth. If there is feedback from students, we want to know about it to make it better,” Smoot said. “If students have feedback, they can contact one of the student senators.”
This year’s ArtSci student senators are Lily Takemoto, Ryley Cottrell and Breanna Cahoon. Their contact information can be found at the student involvement website usu.edu/involvement/student-association/officers.

Utah State Club Tennis serves up competition and community
By Carson Frost STATESMAN SENIOR REPORTER
The Utah State University Tennis Club has grown from a casual recreation group into a competitive and tight-knit program thanks to the efforts of its student leaders and the dedication of its members.
Led by co-presidents Elle Falslev and Joseph Murray, the team balances travel, practices, fundraising and community involvement while creating opportunities for both experienced and beginner players to stay connected to the sport.
“We’re co-presidents, so we kind of oversee everything,” Falslev said. “We organize the other officers and make sure everything gets done, and we take care of all the travel things: booking the Airbnbs and the rental cars and registering for tournaments and making sure that we’re having competitive opportunities. We also plan all of the practices and feed the balls and run the tryouts — just form the teams.”
Murray explained the leadership team works on both competitive and recreational sides of the club.
“We manage the other captains. We’re responsible for putting on practices for our competitive and non-competitive teams. We run multiple events throughout the year, and we’re responsible for helping plan and be over all the traveling and competitive teams,” he said.
The club operates under Utah State’s Campus Recreation program but is entirely student-run. Officers handle fundraising, event planning, uniforms and social media while also ensuring tournaments and practices run smoothly. The work is extensive, particularly when it comes to travel.
“It’s a lot of work,” Falslev said. “We volunteer at all of the campus events — so basketball games and football games — and we’ll get paid for however many members
and however long we’re there for. That’s where a lot of our funds come from, but we’ll also do a few fundraising events like mixed doubles tournaments, where people pay for registration, or just little things like that.”
Once the funding is in place, logistics become the next hurdle.
“Finding the Airbnbs and the rental cars and registering and making sure that we have teams to get there and uniforms and then getting there is a lot of work,” Falslev said. “We just work on that for — it usually takes a month to plan a tournament in advance, so we have to think about them all at the beginning of the season.”
Falslev and Murray have long histories in the sport, both being first introduced to tennis by their mothers. Falslev started playing at age nine, training at ACE Athletics Tennis Academy in Farmington and competing in tournaments across the region. By high school, tennis became her main sport.

Soccer team plays first regular season game under new lights
By Carson Frost Statesman Senior Reporter
The Utah State women’s soccer team opened its 2025 season with a 1-1-2 start that included a two-game split on the road, a home draw against a nationally-ranked opponent and a 1-1 draw against Utah on Aug. 28.
The season began on Aug. 14 in Pullman, Washington, where USU earned a 1-0 win over Washington State. Sophomore forward Austin Miller scored the game’s only goal in the 77th minute, and goalkeeper Taylor Rath recorded a pair of key second-half saves to secure the shutout. The victory marked the program’s first-ever win in Pullman.
On Aug. 18, the Aggies traveled to Stockton, California to face Pacific. Despite outshooting the Tigers 13-9, Utah State fell 1-0 after a second-half penalty kick from Pacific’s Aniela Jensen. The upset loss evened the Aggies’ record at 1-1.
Utah State returned to Logan for its home opener on Aug. 24, playing to a 0-0 draw against No. 23 Kansas. The Aggies outshot the Jayhawks in the first half before Kansas responded with more chances in the second, resulting in a 10-9 shot advantage for USU overall. Rath finished with four saves in her second shutout of the season.
Through the first four matches, the Aggies have shown strong defensive organization with two shutouts while continuing to search for consistency in their attack. The early results provide Utah State with momentum and valuable experience for a young group ahead of the remainder of its non-conference schedule and the start of Mountain West play.
Utah State Soccer kicked off the season under the new lights after spending significant time and resources on a three phase renovation to Chuck & Gloria Bell Field.
The multi-million-dollar overhaul, set to unfold over the next three years, aligns with the Aggies’ soaring trajectory as a nationally recognized athletic powerhouse. Here are the three phases of the project: Phase I: Laying the Foundation for Performance
The first step in Utah State’s ambitious plan is all about building a dependable and elite-quality playing surface for its women’s soccer program. Scheduled for completion by the start of the fall season, Phase I includes the installation of:
New Stadium Lighting: Evening matches will now become a regular feature at the field, allowing for greater fan accessibility and the possibility of hosting NCAA and conference tournament games. These lights also open the door to hosting high-profile regional and state-level high school and club competitions.
Advanced Drainage System: Soccer is played in all conditions, and this system ensures rain won’t disrupt training or games, keeping the pitch pristine throughout the season.
Professional-Grade Playing Surface: Designed for peak performance and durability, the new field will protect players and elevate the overall quality of play.
These improvements ensure the Aggies are not just prepared for their upcoming challenging season but that they’re also operating at a standard seen in the sport’s top programs.
Head coach Manny Martins has advocated for the Phase I upgrades since his arrival at Utah State.
“These [changes] were at the top of the list since I arrived four years ago,” Martins said. “It’s incredible to think that we’ve had as much support and as many people come to our games while playing at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I think we’ll see a very elevated experience for our fans and for our student-athletes.”
Forward Tess Werts, entering her senior season, emphasized the health advantages of moving to night games.
“Especially in the beginning of our season, it’s so hot,” Werts said. “We have usually had games at 1 p.m. or 4 p.m., and it takes a toll on you. Everyone likes playing in the cooler weather rather than hot weather, so I feel like having that option there is going to be huge.”
Phase II: Transforming the Stadium Experience
By the time USU makes its long-anticipated move to the PAC-12 in 2026, the field will look and feel like a top-tier college soccer venue. Phase II focuses on enhancing both the athlete and fan experience:
Clubhouse with On-Field Locker Rooms: For the first time ever, Utah State soccer players will have a dedicated facility that includes on-field locker rooms, a film room, medical and recovery spaces and a team lounge, giving them the resources and aesthetic of a championship-caliber program.
North-End Video Board: A modern video board will allow for live replays and interactive fan engagement, allowing for more crowd participation.
New Grandstands: With improved comfort and sightlines, the upgraded seating will energize what is already an increasingly passionate fanbase.
Media and Press Infrastructure: A new press box and elevated camera decks will boost USU’s broadcasting capabilities, aiding the team’s growing national profile.
VIP Balcony Area: Designed to host donors, alumni and special guests, this new addition will be a premium space that reflects the program’s elevated status.
These upgrades will provide an infrastructure that matches the team’s on-field ambitions and demonstrates USU’s serious commitment to growing women’s soccer.
“As you get into a level of competition where you’re trying to be a program that is consistently competing for an Elite 8, or maybe a college cup and a national championship, you need the resources to help sustain that,” Martins said. “So even things that feel pretty benign at the surface level — those are the little details that will help us sustain what we’ve done here in the last couple of years.”

Track and field’s Milly Garren carries on family legacy at USU
By Carson Frost STATESMAN SENIOR REPORTER
For Utah State track and field senior thrower Milly Garren, this December marks the beginning of her final season competing in Aggie blue. It’s the culmination of four years of steady progress and a lifetime of support from a family that has left its own mark on Utah State Athletics.
Garren didn’t always expect to follow the path of track and field. Growing up, she participated in multiple sports, with soccer as her primary focus. She was recruited by multiple programs as a goalkeeper before the coronavirus disrupted the recruiting process.
That’s when she turned her attention to throwing.
“I originally was being recruited for soccer,” Garren said. “I really didn’t even consider track until my senior year. But Utah State was just where it worked out best for me.”
Choosing USU also meant continuing a family tradition. Her father Bill Garren has worked in the USU athletics department for nearly two decades and is now the university’s assistant athletics director for video operations. Milly’s older sister Maia graduated in 2022 as one of the most decorated throwers in program history, holding multiple school records.
Milly admitted there was some pressure in following that legacy, but it has been a source of support rather than stress.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” she said. “I get to meet people who know my dad through the years or who competed with my sister.
And it’s nice to have so many people backing you up that you don’t even realize are connected somehow.”
That network has helped Milly grow into a key contributor for the Aggies. She’s earned Academic All-Mountain West honors each of the past two years and was named a Mountain West Scholar-Athlete in 2024.
On the field, her progress has been steady. She capped last season with a personal best in the shot put at the Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships, her 15.04 meter throw finishing among the league’s best.
“We knew what was coming, but it had been a little shaky all season,” Milly said.
“Finally putting it together at a conference meet was just great, and having my family there made it even better.”
The journey hasn’t always been smooth. Adjusting from soccer to track required patience, both physically and mentally.
“It was kind of an adjustment going from soccer, a team sport, to something that feels more individual,” Milly said. “I had to learn how to motivate myself and how to handle my emotions differently. But I’ve seen a lot of improvement, especially in the weight room, which was something I’d never really done before college.”
Milly said Maia has been a key contributor to that growth. The two overlapped at Utah State briefly, and they continue to train and compete together.

Column: The Peak of my summer, research abroad
By Ella Stott STATESMAN EDITOR
Ihave peaked twice in life so far. The first time was when I was cast as the lead in an amateur dance-only production of “Hello, Dolly!” The second time was when I got to see the fireworks for Bastille Day over the Eiffel Tower this summer. More excitingly, I was there for research.
This summer, I was incredibly honored to be awarded a Peak Summer Research Fellowship, chosen alongside 13 other students in the Utah State University College of Arts and Sciences to conduct research or creative activities. As a creative writer, my research consisted of studying the structure of memoir to understand how written form can contribute to a piece’s overarching theme. My artistic endeavor was a response to this research. Alongside my personal studies, I attended the American University of Paris Summer Creative Writing Institute, where I focused on the craft of personal narrative, refined my technique through writing workshops and completed a memoir. This endeavor was one of many unique experiences fellow researchers from USU had. Between substance abuse studies to researching spacecraft survivability, my cohort of Peak Fellows touched so many important, relevant topics in an attempt to learn more about the world and the real problems it faces.
On Aug. 20, the Peak Fellows presented at the end-ofsummer Student Research Showcase at the Carolyn Tanner Irish Pavillion in the Medhi Heravi Global Teaching and Learning Center. Here, I had the opportunity to learn about my peers’s projects and what research they are bringing into the world of academia.
India Evans and Tanner Merritt from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics worked with mentor Peter Crooks to research Hamiltonian Reduction at an undergraduate level.
“The motivation behind this project has to do with string theory research,” Merritt said. “Our research kind of boiled down to looking at shapes and that energy flow in systems and looking at how we can simplify them so that way we can look at those different dimensions and see if they function properly within our universe.”
While I didn’t understand their project because I haven’t taken a math course since concurrent enrollment 1050 my senior year of high school, I was impressed with the 230 pages of notes they took over the summer to help their faculty mentor establish the background on the project. In a more humanities-focused project, fellow English student Eden Marroquin researched African American writers and intellectuals, specifically James Baldwin, Langston Hughes and Richard Wright, and their involvement in the
Cultural Cold War. She traveled to D.C. to perform archival research on these writers.
“I applied for the Peak Fellowship so that I could have the opportunity to do more archival research this summer,” Marroquin said. “This year, I’m working towards a co-publication, writing articles and presenting my work.”
Emilia Huff, a biological engineering student, held her research around a polymer nanoparticle for targeted drug delivery to the brain. Her lab focused on viral infections and how to design particles that will treat these infections.
For Huff, the fellowship was exciting because she received funding to work on her research and met a community of other researchers through workshops over the summer.
“I have a really good research community in my department. However, meeting other people who are doing other undergraduate research in the university was really important to me,” Huff said. “I feel like it’s made the connection of my research to how that impacts our university and undergraduate research community here.”
I encourage everyone who is interested in research, even vaguely, to try and get involved this year. — Ella Stott
Taylor hopes to continue this project in order to increase safety on future spacecrafts.
“This fellowship was great because I could keep doing the research I wanted to do,” Taylor said.
I don’t think I would ever want to board a spacecraft — although, if someone asked me to, I’m not sure I could say no now — but I’d know who to consult about the safety. I got to learn about a social work experiment, in which Kaitlyn Line conducted research on how a community’s attitude toward substance abuse affects people’s access to recovery and perception of it. Creed Jones from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology studied which social factors are driving the evaporation of global saline lakes, which I think is a particularly timely project.
Every Peak Fellow had incredible, relevant projects that I was simultaneously impressed and confused by — only confused because I am good at reading books and nothing more. It was genuinely exciting to me that our university is housing so many creative and academic minds — so much so that the research projects students are currently working on are already enacting legitimate change in their respective fields.
I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to be a Peak Fellow this summer, explore Paris and learn from different perspectives while writing a memoir. It might not seem like the most complex research project — probably because after describing the other ones, it is quite clear that it isn’t — but I am grateful the value of research and creative works across different fields is being recognized. At a time where I feel like the humanities are under attack nation-wide, I am comforted by the fact that our university values all types of research and can recognize creative activities as responses to such research.
USU is a research university, and 2025 is its 50th year of undergraduate research. I encourage everyone who is interested in research, even vaguely, to try and get involved this year. Being a part of different undergraduate research projects and starting my own this summer has been one of the most influential parts of my time at USU. I am building up my resume and portfolio, establishing future career skills and getting funded for work I am extremely passionate about. If you’re interested in getting involved with research, visit research.usu.edu/ur/.
Trace Taylor from the Physics Department looked at spacecraft survivability.
“I was looking at how you can increase spacecraft survivability based on how rough or contaminated the spacecraft surface is,” Taylor said.
