Weber State University has set a new enrollment record this fall, welcoming 33,558 students, according to an October 29 statement from the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce.
This milestone represents significant growth for the university and the surrounding community.
The student body represents 28 Utah counties, all 50 states, three U.S. territories, and more than 60 countries. While the university's reach is global, the majority of its students reside in Weber and Davis counties.
In Sept. 2026, the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce presented Weber State with the Weber 100 Award to recognize the university's economic contributions to the local community. The university remains one of the largest employers in Ogden and serves to train future business leaders and professionals for careers in Utah.
Through a partnership between the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce and Weber State, local businesses can connect with students via internships and hands-on experiences. This initiative aims to help businesses tap into emerging talent while allowing students to develop real-world skills.
