Reflection Center

A place for Meditation, Prayer, Reflection, or other forms of individual religious expression including opportunities for interreligious dialogue, interfaith education, and spiritual practice. Utah Valley University is committed to providing meaningful activities that contribute to students’ physical, academic, social, and spiritual well-being whether you believe in God, Gods, or no god.

Our Space

We want students to find a space to express their religious or ethical identity, be challenged by hearing about other identities, and be equipped to find ways to be in relationship no matter how we orient around religion.

Convening Room

The Convening Room is a space for religious club meetings, gatherings, and interfaith events. This is not a place that tells you how to engage in your faith, but engages you in opportunities to learn more about interfaith dialogue and the beliefs and practices of others. The library is an important part of this process along with the activities and events held in the space.
