The Fine Print

We love our Aggies!

Utah State University is a land-grant institution, a public-supported, residential, research university founded under the the Lund Act in 1888. USU is overseen by the Utah State Board of Regents and a local Board of Trustees. Utah State University is located 90 miles north of Salt Lake City in the city of Logan, the county seat of Cache County. Logan is the religious, educational, commmercial and leisure center of a tri-state area of Northern Utah, Southern Idaho and Western Wyoming. USU consists of eight academic colleges and a School of Graduate Studies.

Many USU departments are nationally prominent, including the Space Dynamics Laboratory which has had more student experiments put aboard the NASA Space Shuttle than any other university-sponsored program. Utah State University employs 2,950 full-time employees and 288 part-time employees (contract employees, not students ... an additional 5,000-plus students work part-time on campus), making it Cache County’s largest employer. The cumulative effect of USU’s purchases, payroll and employee’s expenditures provide approximately 31% of the wages and 22% of the jobs in Cache Valley ... students by themselves pour more than $30 million into the local market ... Local non-payroll expenditures exceeded $135,000,000 in the last fiscal year.

And They Love Their Statesman!
