Crouzon Syndrome Union Fundraiser
The Union is once again hosting the Crouzon Syndrome Fundraiser. Crouzon Syndrome is a genetic disorder charcterized by the fusion of certain skull bones. The early fusion prevents the skull from growing normally, leading to an abnormal shape of the head and face. Come on over to the Union Tuesdays-Thursdays and see all of the crocheted animals, greeting cards (blank inside), scrunchies, and 3D prints available. The event is located in the lobby of the Union or in the food court.

Western Minerals & Their Origins [U Arts Pass Event]
by Connor Johnson and Footpath Theatre Company
In partnership with Flying Bobcat Theatrical Laboratory
“Nothing short of magical.” -SLUG Magazine While clearing her canyoneer brother’s garage, a young woman embarks on a psychedelic quest through redrock, time, and her own memory.
The house is being sold. The garage is overflowing. Ari has until morning to clear it. As she excavates the dusty clutter of decades, she is drawn deeper and deeper into the past; up the steep escarpments of remembrance, and down into the dangerous defiles of the long-forgotten. Part neo-western, part environmentalist, and fully theatrical, Western Minerals and their Origins excavates our relationship with geology and the geology of our relationships.
Western Minerals and their Origins returns to Utah audiences this summer for one final metamorphosis! “A love letter to the canyons, to the outdoors, to Utah itself” (Rhetorical Review), Footpath Theatre’s Western Minerals is equipped to make its last rappel onto the Kingsbury Hall…

Biology
Adaptive navigation in bacteria and flies
Successful chemical navigation requires organisms to continuously adapt their strategies to evolving signal statistics and environmental context. Both the extraction and utilization of sensory information are dynamically regulated over time. I will present experiments investigating how bacteria and fruit flies implement such adaptive strategies. Specifically, I will show how an isogenic bacterial population leverages the interplay between phenotypic diversity and collective migration to optimize its navigational behavior across varying environments. If time permits I will conclude by discussing how fruit flies modulate their reliance on distinct directional cues derived from the same signal when navigating toward an odor source under different wind conditions.

Pioneer Theatre Company
John Proctor Is the Villain — Utah Professional Premiere
by Kimberly Belflower
Directed by Karen Azenberg
September 11-26, 2026
Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
Play
A fierce, funny play about teenage girls rewriting the rules—and reclaiming their own stories.
Fueled by earbuds full of pop anthems, sheer determination, and a simmering sense of justice, five teenage girls are ready to confront the buried truths hiding in their small, single-stoplight town. A recent Broadway hit from playwright Kimberly Belflower, this bold, sharp-witted, and fiercely relevant play reexamines the stories we inherit and asks who gets to define what’s true — delivering a work that’s as entertaining as it is essential.
“A poignant story of girlhood and empowering friendships.”
— Entertainment Weekly
“A bold contemporary reexamination of who gets to tell the story.”

Wilkes Center
The relationship between humans and the environment in the United States reflects tales of countless contrasting and overlapping trends, movements, and tensions. Law has cultivated both the planet’s biggest environmental threats and its most creative innovations for protecting human and ecological health. U.S. laws have driven both exploitation and temperance; destruction and restoration; and resistance and adaptation.
Lessons for a Warming Planet showcases the fundamental role the law has served in reckoning with environmental harm in the United States. Authors Alejandro E. Camacho and Brigham Daniels explore the full arc of U.S. environmental legal history across five major periods in the United States, reaching as far back as North America’s colonization and ending with the present. Through this rich history, the book considers the ways leadership, social movements, political coalitions, information, and technologies have both been catalyzed by the law and have advanced environmental change.

"Knowns, Unknowns, and Living Stones: What We Do and Don’t Know About Great Salt Lake's Microbialites"
Description:
In addition to birds, brine shrimp, halophilic microbes, and nematodes, Great Salt Lake is home to a spectacular community of microbialites. These lumpy beige rocks host a diverse microbial ecosystem that forms a vital piece of the lake's food web but are under threat as the lake shrinks. Beyond their modern ecological role, the lake's microbialites serve as complex paleoenvironmental records and may offer clues to understanding the early evolution of life on Earth. This talk will explore what we know, what we think we know, and highlight critical gaps in our understanding of Great Salt Lake's microbialites.

Solutions may be technological, policy-driven, operational, financial, or hybrid. Applicants may be for-profit or nonprofit organizations, academic teams, public-sector innovators, or mission-driven collaborations from anywhere in the world.

Pioneer Theatre Company
John Proctor Is the Villain — Utah Professional Premiere
by Kimberly Belflower
Directed by Karen Azenberg
September 11-26, 2026
Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
Play
A fierce, funny play about teenage girls rewriting the rules—and reclaiming their own stories.
Fueled by earbuds full of pop anthems, sheer determination, and a simmering sense of justice, five teenage girls are ready to confront the buried truths hiding in their small, single-stoplight town. A recent Broadway hit from playwright Kimberly Belflower, this bold, sharp-witted, and fiercely relevant play reexamines the stories we inherit and asks who gets to define what’s true — delivering a work that’s as entertaining as it is essential.
“A poignant story of girlhood and empowering friendships.”
— Entertainment Weekly
“A bold contemporary reexamination of who gets to tell the story.”
— amNY
