Live music is returning to Utah State University later this month with a planned free outdoor concert on the Quad, open to the public.
The concert is billed on posters as “Rach Stars 2,” but onlookers should note there are no typos in the title instead of electric guitars, the people on stage will be playing two grand pianos.
“Rach” is shorthand for noted classical music composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, whose complex piano pieces have challenged musicians for more than a century. The concert will feature both professors and students playing Rachmaninoff on a stage set up at the east entrance to Old Main.

A senior at Sky View High School scored a 36 on his ACT the highest score possible.
Joseph Marshall, 17, said the first time he took the test he scored a 32. He took the test again in September to try and score a 34 so he could qualify for a full-ride scholarship to Utah State University. When he found out he scored a perfect 36, Marshall said he was surprised.
“I did not expect it to be that high,” he said. “I was expecting I’d get a little bit better, but not all the way.”

A new building near Utah State University’s campus Quad will house all of the school’s language programs in one.
The plans, including an artist’s rendering of the structure, were unveiled by USU in a news release Thursday. The building will be known as the Mehdi Heravi Global Teaching and Learning Center, named after an Iranian native who received two degrees at the university before becoming a college administrator and philanthropist.
“He has been incredibly generous over the years,” said Joe Ward, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, in an interview on Friday. “Given his life and career has been international, and so many of his interests have involved building bridges among people, we thought this building would be an appropriate way to recognize him.”

LGBTQ support organization Encircle broke ground for a new location in Logan on Tuesday.
Encircle, a nonprofit focused on providing local space and resources for LGBTQ youth, recently kicked off plans for expansion after receiving a $4 million donation from Apple, Qualtrics co-founder Ryan Smith and his wife, Ashley Smith, and Imagine Dragons singer Dan Reynolds and his wife, Aja Volkman.
The Logan home is part of a project to establish eight new homes in Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. A similar ceremony was conducted last week for an Ogden location.
