Support the Educators of the Future

Utah County’s population is projected to surpass one million residents by the year 2065. With this immense growth, we will see enormous needs in our public school system for innovative and impactful teachers. As the second-largest producer of teachers amongst other public institutions in the state, UVU’s School of Education is dedicated to preparing more educators and clinicians to enlighten learners. Join us in making a difference in the lives of Utah’s children and our future.
