SUU Trademarks Title: 'University Of The Parks'

After filing government paperwork and months of waiting, Southern Utah University has officially trademarked itself as the University of the Parks.

The designation sets SUU apart and promotes a unique proposition for students interested in the outdoors and experiencing hands-on learning both inside and outside of the classroom, says SUU President Dr. Scott Wyatt.

“You see the great, beautiful parks and university and then realize that just a few feet away is some great hiking and biking. It’s just a stunning place,” said President Wyatt.

SUU Marketing further describes the school as a dynamic teaching and learning community where students, faculty and staff immerse themselves in, and are inspired by, the diverse and stunning natural landscape of southern Utah.
