Huntsman Graduate, Jordan Phillips, Gets Education at USU and Iraq

Before attending Utah State University, recent Huntsman graduate Jordan Phillips gained a less formal education —one that involved Howitzer guns, a journey to Iraq, and proved to be every bit as valuable as his business administration degree.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1122/thumbnail.jp

Huntsman Student Assists with First Lady’s Luncheon in D.C.

Huntsman student Jamie Pickett was doing an internship in Washington, D.C., when she was invited to work on organizing and hosting The First Lady\u27s Luncheon, an annual celebration and fundraiser that has been held since 1912.The event is hosted by Washington’s Congressional Club — a club for the spouses of congressional members — and exclusively entertains more than 1,000 VIPs and special guests.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1127/thumbnail.jp

Nate Stephens Earns Two Best Paper Awards

It is a rare thing for an author to win a best paper award for his or her published research. It is even more unusual, however, for an author to win two of those awards in the same year. Yet Nate Stephens, assistant professor of accounting, has done just that for research published in the Accounting Horizons and Issues in Accounting Education journals.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1045/thumbnail.jp

Water Yields in Utah Developing a State Water Plan

Need and Importance of Study Utah\u27s problems of water use and water supply are becoming increasingly important. They are also becoming increasingly complex as competition for our water resources becomes more keen among various types of uses. In the formulation of plans for sound and efficient use of water it is essential to know the characteristics of occurrence and use of water supplies so that requirements can be balanced most effectively and economically against supply. This ordinarily requires basic hydrologic data to determine relations among climate, water losses, and water yield from watersheds. Such data are often unavailable - especially for the smaller basins and streams which characterize many parts of Utah. With greater emphasis on small watersheds and small project development, some way of estimating quantities and characteristics of streamflow which are vital to hydraulic design is essential. In spite of increased emphasis and expenditures for development of water, the expansion of basic data programs still lags behind actual development. At present, investigations and data gathering are not completely adequate to delineate the potential water resources nor to determine the extent of possible development. Without an expanded program of surface and underground water investigations, we cannot hope to outline our potentials completely. However, a broad picture of long-time average annual runoff, developed indirectly or from data at hand, should have considerable value in first stage planning on a statewide basis. The total hydrologic picture must be outlined to evaluate better the effect of individual project development on future regional development programs. Piecemeal development frequently does not fit into an ultimate patterns for most complete and efficient use of the water resource within a region or state. To avoid this kind of development, those responsible for formulating water programs and policies need all the hydrologic information they can get. Deficiencies of such information lend great emphasis to the need for developing dependable indirect methods and techniques to speed preliminary hydrologic surveys. This study was undertaken to develop techniques useful in making was undertaken to develop techniques useful in making rapid and economical estimates of water supplies. The study is restricted to the estimation of mean annual values. Much other information regarding extremes and variations is necessary for detailed project planning. The objective in this study, however, is to provide means of getting a broad perspective of the state\u27s water supply of sufficient accuracy for initial planning a regional nature

Huntsman Club, Beta Alpha Psi, Wins Two First-Prize Awards at Deloitte Best Practices Competition

Huntsman students and officers of the accounting club Beta Alpha Psi recently traveled to Denver, Colo., to attend a Deloitte Best Practices competition and took first place in two out of three categories. They competed against teams from Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, the University of Denver, and other schools from six states in the Rocky Mountain Region.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1106/thumbnail.jp
