The Grand Opening of Lindquist Hall
Save the date!
Weber State has something extra special to celebrate on its 130th Founder’s Day — the grand opening of the completely renovated Lindquist Hall. Join in the celebration, watch the ribbon-cutting and tour the renovated building beginning Jan. 7, 2019, at 2 p.m.
The building will have an additional 13,000 square feet, a welcoming main entry, natural lighting, modern labs, classrooms and collaboration spaces. The heavily used building has been a landmark at Weber State for nearly 50 years and houses all 12 departments and programs in the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences.

Kyia, who was there as part of a three-week service trip hosted by 91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Global Community Engaged Learning (GCEL) initiative in June 2018, said the experience changed her.

Colby grew up playing and loving sports, so much, in fact, that he drew up football plays for the second-grade talent show. As the years went by, he began to appreciate sports even more, not only for the physical activity but also for the life lessons, like teamwork, hard work and dedication.
