2025 2026
Annual Report

Our history defines UVU today as we provide high-quality, relevant education and graduate the most Utahns.

Over the past five years, UVU has grown more than any other public university in Utah. More students than ever are choosing UVU, qualifying for high-demand, high-impact fields, and contributing to Utah’s economy and communities. Fall 2025 enrollment reached 48,669 students, including 18,163 concurrent enrollment students.

We are grateful to the growing community support that enables our students to thrive. This year marked the completion of EverGREEN, UVU’s first-ever comprehensive campaign, raising more than $250 million to expand scholarships, strengthen academic programs, and build facilities that will serve students for generations. These investments directly support student success and reflect strong confidence in UVU’s ability to deliver meaningful results.

The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on the Orem Campus in Sept. 2025 shocked the UVU community and the entire nation. In the aftermath, UVU demonstrated exceptional care as students, faculty, and staff came together to support one another. UVU also modeled how to dialogue across differences, partnering with Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s Disagree Better initiative and forming Our Better Selves for a Better America.

UVU’s response reflects core principles that guide the university’s work: exceptional care, exceptional accountability, and exceptional results. While today’s needs may be different from those of 1941, they are no less urgent. As the workforce is reshaped by technological disruption, UVU prepares students for success in work and life through workforce-aligned programs, applied learning, emerging technologies, and efforts to strengthen skills in civil dialogue, listening, conflict navigation, and peacemaking.

UVU enters its next era with a strong foundation and momentum. We deeply appreciate former UVU President Astrid S. Tuminez’s 7.5 years of leadership. Her steady, student-centered vision ensured that UVU remains a place for all who seek opportunity. We welcomed UVU’s eighth president, Jon Anderson, Ph.D., on Aug. 10, 2026. We look forward to the continued growth, innovation, and impact that we will achieve under his leadership.
