Gavin McLaren had to drop out of high school because of an unknown illness that left him fatigued and plagued with symptoms. However, UVU helped him get his GED and work toward a bachelor’s degree in technology management. During his freshman year, Gavin joined the UVU Excellence and Innovation Initiative (e2i). The program awarded him a scholarship and allowed him to experience engaged learning opportunities. “A lot of the things that I imagined myself not being able to have the opportunity to do, I’ve been able to do within e2i,” he said. “This program is a pathway for you to accomplish your goals and dreams.” Thanks to generous donors, Gavin has a chance at a brighter future.
