Utah State University Blanding

The Northern Navajo Fair is the oldest and most traditional of the Navajo fairs, bringing generations together to celebrate harvest, kinship (K’é), community, and Diné culture. This year’s theme, “Rooted in Tradition, We Rise Together in K’é,” beautifully reflects the importance of honoring tradition while continuing to strengthen our communities together.

We also had an extra reason to celebrate: our new Associate Vice President, Ken Guan’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Ken!

Like this year’s theme, USU Blanding is rooted in tradition and strengthened by community, building on more than 40 years of education and opportunity in southeastern Utah.
