founder's day

Do you know when the University of Utah was founded (without googling it)? I do, February 28, 1850. I am so lucky to be a part of this university. I love it so much and am so grateful for the opportunity to attend. Because I work for the Alumni Association, Founder's Day has become kind of a big deal. There are many events leading up to the big dinner/ celebration and one of the days they had a student lunch where Pat Jones (one of the Alumni Recipients) came and spoke. Normally I don't care too much about guest speakers, but she was incredible. So knowledgable, so humble and I am so grateful to have had the chance to talk to her and learn from her.
