Session Description: University of Utah President Taylor R. Randall and the Board of Trustees signed a new compact with the community which captures the flagship university’s statewide responsibility to lead, partner, educate, research and serve. This compact, known as the Six Commitments to Our Community, became the foundation of a statewide public awareness and engagement campaign that traversed urban and rural Utah. At each stop along the Utah Across Utah: Six Commitments Summer Tour, President Randall and his team met with business and community leaders, local officials, leaders of other state colleges and universities, and alumni to cultivate connections and spur collaboration.
