When JayBee played basketball for the University of New Mexico, he was not a fan of Utah or, more precisely, the Utes. After he left the sport as a career, he wanted to find something else he was passionate about. When he spoke at a treatment center, he found that passion: mental health and helping those in need.
In 2017, he went to work for University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI), now known as Huntsman Mental Health Institute, as a psychiatric technician providing care to those with mental health and substance abuse needs. After working with youth at UNI, he then joined the receiving center, which opened in 2012. It is an integral part of Salt Lake Valley s response to mental health crises. We are serving the homeless and individuals in crisis, JayBee says.

Denniston awarded NSF grant to study climate change Shares: 14 Shares: May 11, 2021
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a nearly half-million-dollar research grant to Cornell College Professor of Geology Rhawn Denniston and a team of researchers to study climate variability.
William Harmon Norton Professor of Geology Rhawn Denniston
The research will utilize stalagmites from a cave in Nepal to understand variations in Indian monsoon rainfall over the last 4,000 years.
The Indian Summer Monsoon is critical to the lives of the 2 billion people living in South Asia. In fact, it provides more than three-quarters of the annual precipitation in this region, including snow to Himalayan glaciers and rains to farmers’ fields. Even one year of above or below average monsoon rainfall can have major consequences, which is why Denniston says understanding how and why the monsoon varies is critically important.
