When comparing residence with bachelor's degrees, Utah's 26 percent ranking also beat the 24 percent national average. "This is something the state should be proud of," said Olene Walker, Utah lieutenant governor.

Mike Leavitt's often repeated phrase that education is the economic fuel of society. The statistics didn't surprise Dave Pershing, U senior vice copy! cs um.

He was in charge of several major building and renovation campaigns on campus, including the renovation of the football stadium and construction at Heritage Commons.
