Southern Utah University

Southern Utah State College was given university status in 1991 under the direction of President Sherratt. Once reaching university status, Sherratt was able to receive funding to construct 14 other buildings during his tenure. Sherratt also helped with the launching of the Utah Summer Games and the athletic program achieving NCAA Division I status.

Steven D. Bennion, grandson of Milton Bennion, ushered in SUU’s next 100 years starting in 1997. He led movements to restore Old Main and built a teacher-education facility, and added two new colleges and several new baccalaureate and graduate programs.

Michael T. Benson took over the presidential seat in 2007. Benson received his master’s degree from Notre Dame and his doctorate from University of Oxford. During his time as president he championed the most ambitious fundraising campaign in University history, raising more than $90 million of the $100 million goal, including the three largest donations in SUU history. He also oversaw the construction of the new Science Center, Cedar Hall and the Carter Carillon. President Benson heightened academic standards and increased resources for instruction, significantly raised retention rates, and realigned SUU Athletics in the Big Sky Conference.
