The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the capital of
Utah which is the fastest-growing tech state in the U.S. and home
to the “Silicon Slopes” agglomeration of technology companies,
including significant operations for Adobe, eBay, Intel, Micron,
DOMO, Goldman Sachs, and Qualtrics. The University is within a
day's drive of a dozen national parks. Nine ski and snowboard
resorts are nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City, which
hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 2002 and has been selected to
host the Olympic Games again in 2034. The American Economic
Development Institute named Utah the number one pro-business state
in the country, the first state west of the Mississippi River to
earn this recognition, and noted the state's leadership in economic
development, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
