Access & Outreach

The Access & Outreach division sponsors state, federal and community-based programs targeting the PK-16 educational pipeline to ensure access to quality educational resources especially focusing on students who may face barriers to their academic and professional development. We seek to strengthen the educational success of UVU students and the broader community by stewarding our existing partnerships and by strategically identifying new opportunities both on- and off-campus congruent with UVU’s educational mission.

We welcome partnerships with our whole society!
