Guest editorial: UVU in great position for continued success

August 22, 2015 (Daily Herald)

As a new school year begins, Utah Valley University is positioned stronger than ever to provide our students an outstanding university experience, preparing them for a successful career and fulfilling life.

Today, roughly 74 percent of Utah County residents attending college at one of the schools in the Utah System of Higher Education make UVU their destination school. This past spring we awarded diplomas and certificates to more than 5,000 graduates, of which 80 percent will live and work in our state, generating tremendous economic and social value. According to a recent report by the Utah Foundation, our graduates earned more than the average graduates of any other university in the state system of higher education.

We could achieve neither the quality nor scale of this impact without the energetic support and effective collaboration of the people and government officials of Utah County. To all of you, we express our deep gratitude and offer this brief update on the progress of the institution.
