Events

Our student leaders plan programs, events, and workshops each month to connect students living in off-campus housing with one another and with the university. Our events are great places to meet new people, learn new skills, have fun, or hear about UVU events and resources. Our programs and workshops are great places to learn about living on your own, with roommates, or working with complex managers. All of this is FREE, and we encourage all UVU students to attend!
