Reading Time: 2 minutes Long ago lived an Indian Princess who gathered water everyday for her father, the tribal chief. One morning while collecting water, a wounded deer full of anger sprung out to attack her. Just before the deer could strike, an arrow pierced and killed the beast, protecting the Princess. The arrow belonged to a strong […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes I’m going to completely honest. I sort of expected UVU’s library to be five floors of unmitigated schlock. I’m not sure if it was the unfortunate reputation Utah Valley University carries, even among some of its own students, as a glorified baby-sitting service for twenty-somethings too mischievous for Brother Brigham’s academic fold.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Madison Leavitt was a freshman when she came to a UVU Jumpstart orientation three years ago. Looking around at the dozens of clubs displayed, she wasn’t sure which, if any, she would get involved with. Her step-father was, however. “You need to join the MAWL,” he said. Leavitt wasn’t sure.

Reading Time: 3 minutes It takes a village to raise a successful musician. That, at least, is the gist of the answer you get from Kaneischa Johnson, Velour employee. At the heart of that support, too, is Provo’s Velour Live Music Gallery. Corey Fox, owner of the 5-year-old venue, has fostered his fair share of bands, too. His […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes I was walking toward the library one day, intent on writing a research paper. The guy ahead of me passed through the door, then turned to hold it open for me. “Thanks,” I said. “No problem,” he responded. Then, as if in a movie, he looked right into my eyes and said, almost in a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Utah has provided many singers, dancers, and musicians or bands to the entertainment world—many of which performed in the streets of Provo before their careers took off. The Used, Neon Trees and Joshua James are only a few of the bands that have played in the venues of Provo before finding their way into […]
