Good morning, Ogden.
🎓 Education
The Utah Board of Higher Education announced a nine-member search committee to choose Weber State’s next long-term president after Brad Mortensen left on Nov.
10 — the committee will look for candidates who can support the school’s mission of access and excellence. Co-chairs Javier Chavez Jr. and Ally Isom will work with a professional search firm in the coming weeks — the process is expected to take several months.
📰 Lifestyle
Ogden’s new House Cat Cafe offers coffee, treats and adoptable cats in a space that includes a main serving area and a separate glass room for the cats — the cafe serves as an official foster for local kitties and hosts weekly family events.
Co-owners Jenny Wilcox and Christine Otterstrom began planning the business two years ago to bring a cozy, pet-friendly spot to the community.
🏈 Sports
West Field’s boys basketball team has grown into a senior-led squad with returning star Mike Russell—son of the famed Ogden coach—and will start their season with a home game against Morgan on Friday.
Coach Russell said the team has built trust and plans to show its strength in upcoming contests.
Weber State’s men’s basketball team debuted a new bold purple uniform with the classic Go W logo as an alternate this season.
A social media poll of 120 responses yielded high ratings with 82.5% choosing an A or B—resulting in a 3.35 GPA for the jersey.
