In July, the school of humanities, arts & social sciences (HASS) divided into two different institutions, with most of the arts separating to form their own department.
At UVSC, all liberal arts programs existed within HASS. With the new university status, the school was split in two to create the college of humanities with six departments (English, history and political science, philosophy, etc.) while the school of arts incorporated the remaining four subjects (music, theater, dance and art & visual communication) as well as the Woodbury Museum, currently located at the Orem University Mall.

Professor of History David R. Wilson recently contributed to a book about the history of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Tribe of southeastern Mont.

The new library has made space for a visual arts lab. The lab will provide a way for students to complete their more complicated and professional art projects.

UVUSA’s annual Week of Welcome (WOW) took place on campus this week. Events included the Crazy Olympics, night games, the White-out dance, a “Sing for your books” competition, a drive in movie, and a barbecue with live music.

Clark Rustand is a new face at UVU, at least as a golfing coach. He is our hero for the week. Here is what he had to say:

A college education can get a person ahead in life, but internships are what give a person experience. UVU Internship Services is available to students to help them find internships that will give them experience in their desired field. Many opportunities are available where students can have once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Being a university student is an opportunity and challenge. It entails more than achieving your credit hours; it’s a prerequisite to engage in activities outside of the class to complete the university experience. UVU Intramurals provides students with a way to get involved with activities outside the classroom.
