The University is within a day's drive of five national parks. Nine ski & snowboard resorts are nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City, which hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 2002 and has recently 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 from the nonpartisan think tank, which noted the state's leadership in economic development, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
