FIRST LADY JOYCE ALBRECHT will never forget her first sunset at Utah State University. The provost at the time, Jay Gogue, was trying to recruit her husband Stan away from the University of Florida.

After a long day of interviews, the Albrechts were walking across campus, arm in arm, as they usually do, when the setting sun lit up the Wellsville Mountains. Joyce turned to her husband and said, "This feels really good."

As a child, she watched the sunsets on Mount Timpanogos, the highest peak on the western horizon of the family dairy farm in Midway, Utah. "I grew up with a keen sense of place," she says.

Today, the Albrechts can see the Wellsvilles through the west window of their new home. The weekend of their tenth anniversary, they moved into the institutional residence on the east bench overlooking the valley.

Before the move, the Albrechts requested a name change and some minor alterations to the interior. The institutional residence is now called the president's home, a more inviting name. White interior walls have been painted taupe, the dominant color of the foothills in fall. Professor Craig Law's photos of southern Utah's prehistoric pictographs decorate the dining room, where donors are entertained, trustees kept informed and faculty thanked for their hard work. The exhibit will change every year, but it will always showcase the artwork of a USU professor, student or graduate.

"We've spent our entire married life in university administration," says Joyce. more
