SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Several Utah colleges have dispatched their student body presidents for a goodwill tour of Russia.

Utah is well represented on the tour. The Russian government invited 14 U.S. schools including heavy hitters Harvard, Georgetown, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California at Berkeley.

Four Utah schools also were selected -- Westminster, Dixie, Snow and Utah Valley University -- to rub shoulders with Russian officials.

Westminster says the student leaders left last week and will return Saturday.
