Utah Shakespeare Festival

Southern Utah Museum of Art

Weekly Campus Events
There are hundreds of events each semester for T-Birds of all ages. From large events like Paint the Town Red and Homecoming week to small club activities, you'll definitely find your place at SUU.
By Car
Being right off the interstate makes it pretty easy to get to SUU. It’s a 2.5-hour drive north from Vegas or a 3.5-hour drive south from Salt Lake. If you’re coming from the east, we’re just 75 miles south of the I-15 / I-70 junction.
By Plane
There are daily flights between Cedar City Regional (CDC) and Salt Lake City International (SLC) airports. Many people also choose to fly into Harry Reid International (LAS) and make the 2.5-hour drive from Vegas in a rental car.
By Boat
Ok, not really. Despite the presence of the nation’s tallest inland lighthouse, Cedar City is actually completely landlocked, so this really isn’t an option.
