"The real death of America will come when everyone is alike."~James T. Ellison
Through involvement in multicultural organizations and clubs, workshops, panel discussions, celebrations, and other UVU activities, students feel a sense of campus "ownership" and continue to enroll. We endeavor to create an atmosphere of warmth and a "home away from home" to create a sense of belonging and acceptance. Involvement provides an avenue to make friends, find role models, and become acquainted with other students on campus.
