It's Official...Utah Valley University!



  On Tuesday, July 1, 2008, Utah Valley State College officially became Utah Valley University.  On Monday, June 30, there was a huge celebration here on campus.  Activities were going on all day in the new library.  At night, Josh Gracin, Collin Raye, and Joe Nichols performed  in a concert on the Baseball field.  Over 15,000 were in attendance!  On Tuesday, the school was dedicated by President Thomas S. Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was a remarkable experience to be in his presence.  He gave excellent counsel before offering the dedicatory prayer.  Prominent Utah Leaders were also in attendance including Orrin Hatch, Bob Bennett, and Lt. Governor Herbert.

Wow, that is so neat that you were able to be around President Monson and the other Utah officials. Justin and I love Pres. Monson, he and Uctdorf are our favorites! :) Very amazing storytellers. They keep your attention the whole time they are speaking. That is awesome about your University. :)Yeah!
