Utah Education Network has developed a website for
our newly created Juneteenth Holiday.

H.B. 338 Juneteenth Holiday Observance was passed during the 2016 Utah legislative session.
If you did not know, Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States and H.B. 338 states that Juneteenth Freedom Day shall be commemorated annually in Utah on the third Saturday in June.  (June 18, 2016)
In support of this bill, the Utah Education Network developed a Juneteenth Freedom Day webpage.
You can find a link to this page on our handy dandy Resources for K-12 Education page: http://www.uen.org/k12educator/uenresources.php

Expect the Great Conference

You’re invited to a special event at the University of Utah. Join me for Expect the Great, an annual college and career readiness event where you’ll learn about the college admissions process, how to pay for your education, and how to be successful in college. If you’d like to explore your college and career options, mark your calendar for Saturday, November 5.
At the event, you will meet and network with community and college liaisons who will provide you with information about the various support services and opportunities to ensure your future success. And don’t forget to bring your resume! For those of you transitioning or looking for a new career, we will have a fantastic career fair. 
 
This year the event will take place in the A. Ray Olpin Student Union Building on the University of Utah campus, though colleges and universities from across the state will be in attendance. The event is free but you must register to attend.
