Although I have a lot of reasons to think so, there is one particular guilty pleasure that puts me over the top of alloted violations: hilarious grainy videos of morbidly obese people crashing on dirt bikes.

Reading Time: 2 minutes UVU has a unique history of inviting eccentric speakers to campus. There was of course the cataclysmic 2004 Michael Moore/Sean Hannity episode. Then there was Ralph Nader conducting an alternative commencement for disgruntled BYU students in 2007. Well, the good news is, it seems, we intend to continue this tradition. On Nov. 18, Joe the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes UVU has been a university for almost a year and a half now, yet it seems that the general attitude towards our school from the community has not changed much.
