Faculty & Staff Certificates
- These will be given out at the Spring Forum Meetings. If you have no way of attending any of the meetings or sending a representative you will need to pick the certificates up at the RTS Office in Downtown Salt Lake. Contact meganw@rtsutah.com to set up a time Monday-Friday, 9 am - 4:30 pm.
