Joshua Ray Walker at The State Room

Joshua Ray Walker is a Dallas-born Country/Americana songwriter known for vivid, character-driven storytelling and a rich tenor that blends classic Texas tradition with a modern emotional edge. 

His sixth studio album, Ain’t Dead Yet, marks his most personal chapter to date. Recorded before, during, and after cancer treatment, (including sessions the day before lung surgery that could have permanently altered his voice), the record wrestles with mortality, gratitude, memory, and transformation. Sonically rooted in pedal steel, fiddle, and Walker’s signature guitar picking, it captures an artist confronting uncertainty with defiance , clarity, and hard-won joy.

William R. and Erlyn J. Gould Distinguished Lecture on Technology and the Quality of Life The Salt Lake Temple Renovation Project

The Salt Lake Temple renovation and seismic retrofit project has been called the most complex project ever undertaken by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Georges A. Bonnet is part of the project management team heading it. At the upcoming William R. and Erlyn J. Gould Distinguished Lecture on Technology and the Quality of Life, Bonnet will share what has gone into the core work of the renovation of the historic temple, while also giving a history as a whole and sharing progress pictures. The renovation project was announced in April 2019 during a press conference by then President Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and started later that year. Construction continued through the years despite COVID-19 setbacks and earthquake damage in 2020. The project reached its halfway point in 2023 and is set to be ready for an open house starting in April 2027. “The engineering, technology and planning for this incredible renovation on a beloved and historic building makes Bonnet a great choice for the Gould Lecture,” explained Sarah Shreeves, Alice Sheets Marriott Dean of Libraries. “I think that everyone will be interested in the intricacies of this soon to be finished project, and I’m greatly looking forward to the lecture.“
