Apr 28, 2025 Marriott Library Selected to Receive Class of 2025 Gift
The Associated Students of the University of Utah, ASUU, has selected the Marriott Library to receive the 2025 class gift. The $15,000 contribution will be used to purchase additional laptops that will be loaned to students through the library’s Knowledge Commons on level two.
The gift comes at an opportune moment – as the library is beginning to plan for the 2025-26 school year. “Laptops are in extremely high demand, comments Matt Irsik, head of user support and computing services at the Marriott Library. “Our laptops are checked out nearly all the time and I know that having more will really benefit students.”
“We looked closely at the library’s laptop lending program because we had heard from students about how vital it was for them. We wanted the gift to go toward something that would have a great impact.”
– Paige Moon, ASUU’s vice president of student relations
Currently laptops can be checked out for 60 days and aren’t renewable, as there is such demand for them. The contribution will provide an additional 12 laptops, which will become available just in time for the start of fall semester. Come fall, the library will have 1,500 laptops to lend.
