Reading Time: 2 minutes An uneasy silence fills the air on Saturday afternoons on campus at UVU—a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of a normal school day. There are few cars to be seen in the parking lot, no tailgating students eagerly awaiting a big game, and definitely no cheering crowd to be heard faintly in […]
