Because you chose to give to UVU, you have transformed lives and helped build Utah’s workforce. Throughout its trajectory from a small technical school to the state’s largest institution, UVU’s growth was made possible by those who saw potential in our students, regardless of their background.
Throughout the EverGREEN campaign, the institution saw even more growth. In 2025, UVU enrolled a record 46,809 students (a 5-year increase of 14.3%) and graduated 12,940 alumni. Donors funded 190 new scholarships, which made the dream of education a reality for thousands of students. With 74% of alumni living in Utah 10 years after graduation, your gifts shape the future of the state.
During the class of 2025 commencement, Francisco Calderon- Mora held his graduation cap with a photo of his parents (above) and echoed this idea, saying “Let’s chase our dreams. Let’s build careers, travel, start families, do exciting things ... Let’s stay connected in a world that often tells us to do otherwise, because those connections are the things that last.”
A Long-Lasting Impact
At the heart of UVU is a community of supporters who believe in possibility, potential, and in one another. Throughout the EverGREEN Campaign, that belief became action. It became buildings and programs, scholarships and safety nets, innovation hubs and cultural spaces. It became thousands of individual moments when someone chose to give so that a student could grow.
But the true legacy of EverGREEN cannot be measured in dollars, square footage, or even milestones reached. Its truest measure is the students whose lives now look different, brighter, more stable, more possible, because someone cared enough to invest in their journey. This campaign told a powerful story:
We saw this in the expansion of health and public service education, where new facilities and partnerships are preparing tomorrow’s caregivers and first responders. We saw it in the rising strength of engineering, technology, and finance programs that are shaping Utah’s workforce and fueling its economy.
Whether you funded a scholarship, supported the CARE Hub, invested in a named facility, gave through payroll deduction, or made your first alumni gift, you are part of this ring of growth. You planted seeds knowing they would blossom not only in this generation, but in generations you may never meet. EverGREEN has proven that UVU’s mission is not just words. It is a living promise that education can uplift families, strengthen communities, and fuel industries.
As we close this chapter, we do not close the work. The campaign may be complete, but the momentum it created is still accelerating. The new centers, scholarships, institutes, and facilities will continue to expand UVU’s reach and redefine what is possible for students who come to this university with hope and ambition. The future is not something we wait for; it is something we build.
