“WORK HARD, PARTY HARDER”
The University of Utah Faculty club hosts monthly social meetings, usually on the first Friday of the month! We usually serve a full buffet meal with a variety of beverages.

The Faculty Club is a group of individuals who meet on a monthly basis to mingle and share our experiences. University of Utah faculty from both the main and health sciences campuses get together in casual, comfortable surroundings to enjoy food, drink and camaraderie.
We meet during the University year on the first Friday of each month at 5:00- 7.30pm in the Marriott University Park Hotel in Research Park on Wakara Way. We often host enjoyable events during the summer months.
December has two special parties: the University Children’s Holiday Party and the Faculty Club holiday party. In May, we have our annual business meeting with a sit-down dinner.
New Faculty, Experienced Faculty, Emeritus Faculty, join us!
Recent Events
End of Year Business Meeting: On May 9, we had our annual business meeting. During this meeting, we welcomed the new Faculty Club Board Members.
Beer Tasting Party: We had a BYOB, masked tasting of a variety of beers. Faculty were able to taste local brewery beers and vote on which they liked best. The temperature was ideal and the setting was lovely in Eleanor’s shady, welcoming backyard. A fun time was had by all.
Cabin Bash: In June, we celebrated the recently completed cabin renovations with a BBQ lunch, hikes and creekside exploration in the stunning mountain setting. The Faculty Club cabin is nestled in the foothills of the Uintas – outside Florence, UT. It is only a 50-minute drive from Salt Lake. Great attendance created a fun atmosphere with folks going on hikes, drives and other adventures. Lunch was catered by Pat’s BBQ and was delicious – thanks to Gillian for bringing the food.
