Erin Jensen, with USU's Transforming Communities Institute, shares her experience organizing and attending the Utah Conference on Community Engagement (UCCE).

"What really stands out to me about UNP’s participation in UCCE is their commitment to bringing community partners to the conference to share their own stories. UNP isn’t centering community voices by simply speaking about communities; they’re enabling community partners to participate directly and speak for themselves."

We want to shout out our thanks to WestSide Dance for bringing a little extra joy to our recent celebration. What they do is truly special!

Fireworks are a summer tradition—but did you know some contain lead and other toxic metals? When they explode, they release fine particles and heavy metals into the air, which can harm our lungs, soil, water, and developing brains—especially in children and pregnant people.

There is no safe level of lead exposure. Let’s protect our health and still celebrate!

Tips for Safer Celebrations:
🚫 Skip backyard fireworks—opt for professional shows (at a distance)
🤖 Choose a drone or laser light show—a beautiful, non-toxic alternative
🪟 Close windows during displays and clean outdoor surfaces afterward
👏🏽Wash hands (especially for kids) after handling items left outside
💭 Stay indoors if you have asthma or other respiratory concerns

Let’s make this summer sparkle—without the toxic fallout.
