Third annual Utah Campus Safety Summit brings state campuses together – @theU
The University of Utah Department of Public Safety’s Utah Campus Safety Summit is a statewide opportunity to bring together a variety of campus communities to improve safety and security on all of Utah’s campuses.
The annual two-day summit will take place on March 19-20, 2025 at Eccles Alumni House. A virtual option for day 1 is also available.
“The goal of the Utah Campus Safety Summit is to provide a forum for local and national experts to share the latest research and information on safety in a campus environment,” said Kim Barnett, University of Utah deputy chief safety officer of Support Services. “In addition to higher education partners from across the state, we’re thrilled that other interested stakeholders in our community, such as K-12 schools and religious organizations, are finding value in the ways we are all working to keep campuses safe and learning from our shared experiences.”
Registration for one or both days is now open.

KANOSH, Utah — The United States Geological Survey recorded multiple earthquakes near Kanosh Sunday morning, each of them having an average magnitude of 3.0.
The first earthquake, magnitude 3.0, was detected just after 12:30 a.m., with the epicenter located half a mile south of Kanarraville.
The second quake, magnitude 3.2, was detected around 5:45 a.m., with the epicenter nearly five miles south-southwest of Kanosh. This was followed by two more quakes in the same area, a magnitude 2.5 quake coming in around 6:35 a.m., followed by a third around 7:45 a.m, which measured at magnitude 3.3.
This has since been followed by another quake, measuring at magnitude 3.7, being detected around 8:45 a.m. The geographic location in the USGS report places the epicenter approximately over two miles south of the Dry Wash Trail, about six miles south-southwest of Kanosh.
FOX 13 News previously spoke with researchers at University of Utah, who said that earthquake swarms are relatively common. A study published in 2023 posits that swarms may be triggered by geothermal activity. The findings came after a series of seismic swarms were detected in central Utah, within the vicinity of three geothermal power plants.
The study also says that the swarms fall into a different category than aftershocks that typically follow large quakes, such as the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that hit the Wasatch Fault back in 2020.
