Get involved!

U — 14

Believe it or not, college isn’t — or shouldn’t be — just about studying. Enrich your experience at the University of Utah by getting involved on campus through a student group, an academic organization, attending athletic or fine arts events, or getting a campus job. Regardless of your interests, you’ll be sure to find something that will boost your resume, give you life experience, allow you to meet new people, and make life at the U more fun and exciting. We’ve broken down some of the major student groups, but a full listing of all groups is available on the Associated Students of the University of Utah website at www.asuu.utah.edu/student_groups.

The MUSS Join The Mighty Utah Student Section (MUSS) for the ultimate fan experience in U football, basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball. Organized in 2002, The MUSS was originally known as the Utah Football Fan Club (UFFC) and was managed by a partnership between the Alumni Association’s Student Alumni Board (SAB) and the Athletics Department. Today the group has grown to 6,000 members and is sponsored by the Alumni Association. By joining The MUSS, you can get priority seating in the student section for all home games (including BYU games), a MUSS T-shirt, and access to pre-game tailgates and away-game “MUSS Buses.” For more information, visit www.alumni.utah.edu/muss and click on the MUSS portal.

Greek Row Go Greek by joining one of the U’s six women’s sororities or nine men’s fraternities. Greek Row offers a unique experience to students with service opportunities and an unlimited number of social functions. Students can rush at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.

Afterwards, contact individual colleges, departments, programs, or majors of specific interest to you. Applying is not as difficult as you may think. Contact specific organizations directly for more information. The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office The sole purpose of this office is to assist students with financing their educations. Information regarding all general scholarships offered directly from the U (as opposed to those offered directly by a specific campus organization) can be found on this webpage.

r ........ o i n Se Page GRADUATION INFORMATION: Many resources are available to assist students with their academic plans for graduation. While graduation may seem far away, it’s best to plan for it sooner than later by becoming familiar with both the University and your major’s graduation requirements. So what steps should you take to ensure that you’re on the right path to graduate in your major of choice in four years?

U — 22

Become familiar with your DARS report (Degree Audit Report System), a comprehensive outline of all coursework required to graduate with a specific major. Essentially, it first lists all general education requirements that you must fulfill, and then lists all majorspecific requirements that you must satisfy. DARS reports can be handy for both perusing the requirements of possible majors and for keeping track of the specific courses that you still need to take once you declare a major. In order to access a DARS report, you first must create one by logging into Campus Information Services (CIS), scrolling down to the “Graduation” section, clicking on “Generate Degree Audit Reports,” and selecting the appropriate major or minor. After creating a DARS report, access it by clicking “View/Delete Your Degree Audit Report(s).” Check your DARS report often to ensure that you are on the correct track to graduate in the time frame that you have established.

Make an appointment to meet with your advisor as soon as possible. This is especially necessary for incoming freshmen, as the advisor will provide a wealth of information (not to mention handouts and forms) that you did not already have. And if you’re not sure yet which major you want to declare, see an advisor anyway! In fact, one of the best reasons to see an advisor is to make inquiries regarding specific majors in order to help you decide on the one that’s right for you. In addition to helping students select majors, advisors also provide detailed information regarding majors and assist students in determining

a time frame in which to complete necessary requirements. Advisors are here specifically to assist students – so use them! You won’t regret it when, unlike your lazy, deadbeat friend, you graduate on time from a department you’ve enjoyed.

Turn in your graduation application! Students sometimes think that graduation entails nothing more than taking the necessary courses(and maybe showing up at commencement). While this is of course the hard part, it’s not the only part. In addition, you must fill out certain forms approximately six months prior to graduation. Check out specific details at the Office of the Registrar’s “Applying for Graduation” webpage: www.sa.utah.edu/regist/graduation/applying.htm.

#4 #5

Plan to attend commencement and convocation, which requires a cap and gown. More information is available at the “Applying for Graduation” website listed above. Stay connected after graduation through the University of Utah Alumni Association. Every graduating senior is eligible to register for a FREE oneyear membership, which offers multiple benefits, including discounts and deals on tickets to athletics, arts, and cultural events on and off campus; a subscription to Continuum, the University’s award-winning magazine; and participation in community service projects, legislative advocacy programs, and alumni chapter events held throughout the country. For more information about membership in the Alumni Association, go to www.alumni.utah.edu.

U — 23

Take a break after graduation to serve your community and your world. There are plenty of service opportunities that broaden your perspective. Teach For America – www.teachforamerica.org – This organization recruits the top undergraduate students from colleges throughout the United States to better the world by educating children everywhere.

Bennion Center Fellowships – www.bennioncenter.org – The BC offers a number of post-graduation fellowships to help you pursue your desired service goals. As the positions are limited, it’s in your best interest to apply early.

.. . t . . . . h Fig Song UTAH MAN VERSE

U — 32

I am a Utah Man, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. Our coeds are the fairest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far! CHORUS Who am I, sir, A Utah Man am I! A Utah Man, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi! We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No other gang of college men dare meet us in a muss. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man am I! Ki-yi!

VERSE And when we prom the avenue, All lined up in a row, and arm in arm, And step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior’s gown, the people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.

CHORUS VERSE We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man Am I.” GO UTES!

MUSS TRADITIONS 3rd Down Jump: Third downs are critical, especially in close games. To make things as difficult as possible for the opposing team, the 5,000 students in The MUSS jump up and down while shouting at the top of their lungs anytime it’s a 3rd down, creating noise so deafening that opposing players can’t hear their own snap count, often leading to penalties. 1st Down Signal: Whenever the Utes get a first down, The MUSS comes together in unison to help the officials signal the first down, raising their hands and voices before making the signal while shouting “First Down.” False Start Tally: Whenever the opposing team receives a false start penalty The MUSS hangs a ‘five’ in front of the student section indicating the five-yard penalty. There is a running total for the entire season and a line of “fives” will always be in front of The MUSS section.

U — 33

If six days a year isn’t enough MUSS for you, you’ll love the other MUSSes as well! Basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics, and Soccer all have their own dedicated MUSS as well (t-shirt, prizes, and all!). They’re sure to satisfy Ute fans year-round!

Requirements and Instructions: In the following pages you will find a collection of 50 traditions encompassing many of the places, annual events, and unique bits of history that make the U the incredible university that it is. It is these and other traditions that give the U its rich history and help foster the kind of pride that sticks with you as an alumnus/a long after graduation. There is also room to include traditions of your own, specific things that have made the U special for you. To fulfill the traditions, all you have to do is follow the examples in the photos and directions in the captions on the tradition pages, visit the place or participate in the event, and snap a photo that clearly shows you doing it. Simple as that! Fulfill traditions to become a University of Utah Tradition Keeper.

What is a Tradition Keeper? Tradition Keepers are especially involved students who are interested in making the most of their college experiences by immersing themselves in the rich history of traditions at the U. You become a Tradition Keeper as soon as you fulfill your first U Book tradition. Fulfilling more traditions allows you to reach the various â&#x20AC;&#x153;levelsâ&#x20AC;? of Tradition Keeping (something akin to karate belts). Each level is accompanied by a lapel pin, medallion, or similar award, marking you as an accomplished Tradition Keeper. The various levels are: Level 1: 25 Traditions (White Pin) Level 2: 35 Traditions (Red Pin and preceding award) Level 3: 45 Traditions (Pure Crimson Medallion and preceding awards) Level 4: All 50 Traditions (Recognition at an annual event at the Alumni House and preceding awards.)

What do I do when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done or achieve a level? Every time that you complete a level (or complete all of the traditions), simply bring your tradition section to the Alumni House to have it verified and to receive your award. For graduating seniors, the commencement tradition can be fulfilled by bringing proof of pending graduation with you when you turn it in. Once your Tradition Keeping status has been checked off, you will be contacted by the Alumni Association to get your TK reward. For those of you who achieve or plan to achieve all 50 traditions, make sure that you turn in your book by April 1st of your senior year so that you can be included in the annual TK event at the Alumni House and have your awards in time to wear them at commencement.

If you can, join a select crowd at the overnight/weekend sessions, where you can get your fill of events, new friends, and a more thorough start. Many of these are catered to certain niches, such as fine arts or sciences.

Blackout

Swap crimson red for black at this annual football game Get fierce by attending the annual “blackout” football game—the only game of the season when Rice-Eccles Stadium turns from crimson red to fearsome black. Since this tradition began in 2008, the Utah football team has donned sleek black uniforms to pump up the intensity for the big game, which was held during Utah’s monumental victory over TCU in the 2008 season and against Wyoming on Halloween in 2009. For the Halloween game, MUSS members created their own version of the Raiders’ “black hole.” Whether you’re in The MUSS or just somewhere in the stands, put on your black Utah garb, wigs, hats, and face paint and become part of the blackout!

Rivalry for Food Donate to the Utah v. BYU Rivalry Week Food Drive

Every year the football season hits its climax with the always-intense grudge match between Utah and BYU in late November. We play off of the rivalry with the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest food and money drive for the Utah Food Bank. Led by the Student Alumni Association, the food drive brings together multiple campus groups and community businesses and organizations to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and tens of thousands of dollars. And since BYU participates in its own half of the competition, it gives us another opportunity to hand them a U-branded beat down.

Give Blood in the Rivalry Blood Drive

KK O OOO BK B

The annual blood drive pits students at the U against those at Utah State, our rival to the north. By participating, you not only provide blood for someone else, you also help build U spirit and maintain our dominance over our rivals in all things competitive. The competition is heated, with each school taking its share of victories over the past few years, but the end result is always a much needed service that benefits the community in a vital way. ARUP, the organization in charge of blood donation in the Salt Lake area, puts on numerous events and gives out free T-shirts as part of the weeklong contest. Look for ARUP elsewhere on campus at various times throughout the school year to find other opportunities to donate.

Past Redfests have included Guster, Jack’s Mannequin, Flogging Molly, Death Cab for Cutie, and Ben Kweller. The event also features a free daytime festival held outside the Union, with more live music, food, T-shirt making, and games. If you’re more of a springtime concertgoer, hit up the Presenter’s Office rendition of the Grand Kerfuffle in April to hear bands like Augustana, hellogoodbye, Shiny Toy Guns, Yellowcard, and Mos Def.

Don’t Miss the Utes’ Annual Battle with the Cougars If there were ever a game worth canceling all plans for, this is it. Indeed, the quickest way to become a true Utah fan is by cheering your lungs out at the state’s most heated rivalry game against BYU. The game is also part of the Deseret First Duel Rivalry series, ratcheting up the stakes even more (as if they could get any higher!). Though the Utes have moved on to a bigger conference and the Cougars. . .haven’t, the battle will always be a contentious one. For the true of heart, venture down south for an away game. Don’t be surprised, though, if being there seems to add fuel to your fire—animosity is the natural emotion to feel.

Who Are Your Leaders? Cast Your Vote in the ASUU Elections

Each semester, students pay more than $20 in fees to the Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU), the U’s student government. Every spring, ASUU holds annual elections, and students have a chance to evaluate candidates vying to lead student government and manage a $1.4 million budget. Attend debates, ask questions, mingle with candidates, and be a part of the process. With small turnout in ASUU elections, every vote counts and is as easy as logging on to your CIS through the U’s website. During the campaign, rival parties will be handing out T-shirts and free food on Library Plaza and other heavy-traffic areas. Repay them with a vote and invest yourself in the process.

Take a Hike! Explore the Foothills Behind the U

Here at the U, we’re lucky enough to have access to the Wasatch Mountains and the Bonneville Trail, so why not take advantage of all the wonderful recreational possibilities? Whether you hike with a friend, ride the trail on bike, or explore with your pooch, the hills are a great place to get away and see the city from a different viewpoint. For die-hard Utes, explore the Living Room, a favorite destination over the years that both lives up to its name and provides a great view of the valley. We won’t tell you how to get there though; finding it is half the fun!

Everyone can find something of interest, whether it be dancing to the sounds of U92, riding a mechanical bull, getting an airbrush tattoo, playing poker in a Vegasstyle setup, or enjoying free food from local restaurants such as Rubio’s, Chick-Fil-A and Little Caesars. Each Crimson Nights has different activities that reflect the night’s unique theme. Many Crimson Nights also include performances by hypnotists, comedians, dancers, or local musicians.

At the library, your home away from home, find quiet study areas, group study areas, a multimedia center, and even a lounge area with cafe and coffee shop. If studying is not your thing, find one of the many armchairs or couches in which to curl up for a nap. Need to get outside for a minute? The fountain on Marriott Plaza, across from the library at the heart of campus, offers students a refreshing and secluded respite from the bustle of campus and the heat of the summer sun. With plenty of trees to offer shade accompanied by the soothing rush of falling water, the fountain is an ideal place to relax between classes during those long school days or take a welldeserved break from a jog, bike ride, or long-board run through campus.

Now used mostly by students living in the Residence Halls to get to and from lower campus, the bridge also serves joggers, bikers, and long-boarders enjoying the beautiful Utah weather and the University’s open spaces.

The U Hike Hike Up to the Block U

Sitting prominently on the hillside in the foothills north of campus, the 100-foot tall block U is one of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most visible symbols. It was originally constructed in 1905 of lime, then reconstructed two years later in cement. In 2002, it was joined on the hillside by the giant illuminated Olympic rings that became one of many symbols of the Olympics. In 2006, the block U was completely rebuilt and fitted with white and crimson lights. When an athletic event is underway, the U shines white. When we win, it flashes crimson and white, giving students and Salt Lake residents alike the latest news on how Utah teams have fared.

The U also boasts an arm of Salt Lake’s TRAX light-rail train system, including four different stops ranging from Rice-Eccles Stadium on the southwest to the hospitals and medical school on the northeast. A network of red, blue, green, and purple campus shuttles runs every 10 to 20 minutes throughout campus, getting students where they need to be. And for U students, public transit isn’t just eco-friendly, it’s absolutely free.

A Red-tailed Hawk Catch a Shot with Swoop!

Swoop, our beloved hawk mascot, made his debut in 1996. This Utah-indigenous, redtailed bird can be found throughout the state, but nowhere is he louder or mightier than in the stadium or arena. Swoop is the #1 Utah fan and works his tail off at every event possible, so share some love whenever you see him. While snapping a picture with him is certainly one of the more difficult traditions to obtain, it’s by no means impossible. Just a hint: the more noise you’re making at a rally or game, the more likely he’ll be to find you! Moreover, hawks are known for rewarding their comrades, so it’s not uncommon that he’ll have a few t-shirts or goodies hidden away in his feathers for the folks he hears cheer....

Soldier Up

Step Back in Time at Historic Fort Douglas Get to know the U’s military history by visiting Fort Douglas, located in upper campus just above the Legacy Bridge. The Fort was first established as Camp Douglas in 1863 to guard the overland mail route during the Civil War and was later used to house Teddy Roosevelt’s buffalo soldiers, who fought with the Rough Riders on San Juan Hill. During World War I, the Fort housed prisoners of war, and more than 56,000 inductees were trained here during World War II. The 51-acre land plot was turned over to the University in 1951, and in 1992, the U gained 12 more acres. Prior to hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics, the U renovated 26 buildings in Fort Douglas to be used for the Olympic Village, which now serves as student housing. Visit the Fort Douglas museum, throw a frisbee on Stillwell Field, catch a movie at the old-school Post Theater, or visit a friend in the dorms.

It consists of two threecredit-hour courses – one fall semester, one spring semester – taken with the same professor and classmates, allowing students to build community. LEAP’s two classes fulfill the diversity requirement and two general education requirements and are linked to optional classes in writing, library research, major selection, and service! If you love it (which you will!) apply to be a peer advisor and help the next group with all the knowledge you’ve already gained!
