Activities of the Center

Established in January 1972 under an endowment from Charles and Annaley Neagle Redd, prominent Utah stock owners and philanthropists, the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies is charged with promoting the study of all aspects of the Intermountain West (Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana). Programs of the center include conducting research; funding faculty, student, and independent research through grants and assistantships; providing financial assistance to public programs, professional organizations, and presses; offering consultation; sponsoring lectures; and assisting school children through the Utah History Fair. Center personnel teach classes in academic departments on campus and administer the American Western Studies minor offered through the American Studies program.
