Dear Faculty-
I want to express my continued appreciation to each of you for the outstanding academic work that is being done at our university. As the semester progresses, I encourage you to take time to listen to and assist your students in any way you can. The individual work we do with these students might be the very thing they need to help them stay in school and to complete their program.
Thank you again for all you do. If issues arise, please do not hesitate to reach out if the Office of Academic Affairs can help in any way.

Left your laptop at home? No need to sweat—when emergencies arise, borrow a laptop from the Fulton Library. With our new laptop pilot program for faculty and staff, you can check out a Dell computer for up to three days. The laptops are pre-installed with Microsoft Office Suite, and you can download other software as needed. With this pilot, you can ensure you hit the ground running on all your projects, presentations, and courses. Simply complete your work, save your files, and log in and out with your UVU credentials.
Supplies for the pilot program are extremely limited. The laptops do not supplement
departmental purchasing or replace your UVU-assigned equipment, but they can save
you stress in a pinch. Next time you unexpectedly need a laptop, skip the hassle and
inconvenience—drop by the library for a laptop. To check out a laptop or learn more,
visit the library’s first-floor Circulation Desk.
In partnership with Academic Affairs and the Women’s Success Center, the Research Institute at the Women’s Success Center is delighted to announce the 2023 cycle for the Bonnie Ballif-Spanvill Endowed Fellowship (BBSEF), which can provide up to $10,000 to support scholarly and creative works that engage student workers. The purpose of the BBSEF is to support women[1] scholars and their collaborators, scholars of any gender who mentor women students, and scholars of any gender whose work focuses on women. Interested candidates must submit a brief proposal by February 24, 2023. You can learn more about the fellowship and the application process.
Questions about the fellowship and application process can be directed to Dr. Kelly Hall ([email protected]).
