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.
