“When I wanted to quit, I had six little eyes looking at me. I finished because of them. I couldn’t quit. I may have wanted to, but I couldn’t quit.”

Testimonials


  • I love the environment at UVU. I came back to school to get my bachelor’s degree at 42, and I felt welcomed and accepted during my time here. The students and teachers were respectful, and I felt like I belonged at UVU. I’m really glad I went back to school because I valued my education more. I was more mature and I worked harder because I had a different perspective from my first time in school, which helped me to succeed.”
    Jennifer Shipley Art and Design '21
