    "For the Olympics, other ones [dorms] were built. But it also meant that the students who were in dorms had to find a place to live. We had to find a place for them to live for the three weeks. Their dorm space was given to the press corps, foreign visiting coaches, and some teams. And some of the students were international students who just couldn’t go home. Some dorm students lived in Boise, or some place they could commute back to. But international students had no place to go. So I remember faculty and staff taking them in and putting out a call to the community for spare bedrooms to help take care of those students." Quote from June Phillips' Oral History

    "One of the things that I remember is that when you were getting ready to land in Salt Lake—not immediately before getting ready to land but a full hour before you were in Salt Lake airspace—they would say: "Because of the Olympics, we're not going to allow anyone out of their seat. Once we cross a line and we're an hour outside of Salt Lake airspace you will not be allowed out of your seat. If you need to get up, get up now. Other than that, buckle in because you're not going to get out of your seat for the next hour." Quote from Michael Vaughn's Oral History
  • "When the Olympics came, like thousands of other people, I volunteered. You may not know, but Weber State shut down for those weeks of the month of the Olympics and the Paralympics. So I volunteered, went through all the training, got my uniforms and everything. Then my assignment as a recreation professional was at the Olympic Village. So I was in charge of the fun for the athletes from all over the world. I'd set up tables with games and ping pong and billiards and all these activities for the athletes."
