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: 2 minutes Michigan. Syracuse. Penn State. Santa Clara. Arkansas. What school is this again? Surely not Utah Valley, the school not good enough to get into the WAC, the school without a football team. For the programs mentioned above, however, the Wolverines apparently make the cut. Volleyball, soccer, werstling and men’s basketball all feature dates […]

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.
