Taking the oath as the state's sixteenth chief executive, Huntsman repeated his campaign slogan that he will bring a "new day" to state government.

Huntsman said that due to the increase in innovation and communication, educators today will have to work harder to prepare the business leaders of tomorrow. Huntsman has spoken at many schools in the state to help educators prepare the next generation for what he calls "21st century realities." Part of this preparation will be expanding students' knowledge of languages and cultures.

Mr. Huntsman and his wife, Karen, founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute in 1995 to accelerate the work of curing cancer through human genetics. The Institute is now one of America's major cancer research centers dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, as well as a state of the art clinic and treatment center for cancer patients.

Huntsman is appointing a committee to implement the recommendations of his Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change. He hopes one of those policies will be an aggressive goal to make renewable sources like wind and solar at least 20-percent of the state's energy portfolio by 2020.
