Mission

Student Affairs Access & Outreach recognizes that education is a lifelong pursuit and we have a role to facilitate lifelong learning beyond our institution. To that end we sponsor state, federal and community-based programs targeting the PK-16 educational pipeline to insure access to quality educational resources especially focusing on those who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education and may lack resources for academic or personal development. We seek to strengthen the educational success of UVU students and the broader local, regional and statewide community by stewarding our existing federal, state, and community partnerships and by strategically identifying new opportunities both on- and off-campus congruent with UVU’s educational mission.
