Party in the quad--- Summer University

On Thursday May 8th it was the last day of Summer University so to end with a bang, UVU's own catering services catered a free lunch to everyone registered for Summer University. Luckily it was a nice spring day outside so it was held outside in the quad. The menu consisted of Pasta salad, steamed vegetables, salad, potatoes and yes even steak which was conveniently branded with UVU on each steak. There was even delicious cake served for desert that also had UVU branded on the frosting of the cake. The food was delicious and being able to eat outside with everyone involved in Summer University made the lunch event a hit.


Carmen Rasmusen performed at the Summer University luncheon. For all of you non-American Idol fans she was on the second season of American Idol and ranked 6th! She has released two albums, one in 2004 and one in 2007, and has an amazing voice. She dedicated the song "Nothin' like the summer" to her grandma, oh how cute, who was also at her performance along with her mom. We all had so much fun listening to her and eating our wonderful food outside in the beautiful weather! Thanks Carmen for the amazing end to such a fun week, come back soon!


The mechanical bull was a highlight at the Summer University kickoff.

UVU Rodeo

As part of the kickoff to Summer University, the UVU Rodeo Team put on an excellent show of talent last night at the new Wasatch Events Center.
The 2007-08 UV Rodeo team just completed the season on March 29, winning the Rocky Mountain Region title for the second consecutive year.

Yeeeee-Hawwww!!!

Good Luck!

The Prospective Student Services Office would like to wish students attending Utah Valley University, and any other institutions of higher education, good luck on your upcoming finals. Study hard, get lots of beauty sleep and try not to party too hardy before the big tests.

Free Yogurt!

Yup, that's right. We LOVE free things. Especially when it's healthy!

Yoasis Pure Yogurt Paradise came to UVSC today to give out FREE yogurt just for taking a survey after trying it. One word to describe the experience? Amazing. It wasn't overly sweet and the added fruit made it extra delicious. Yoasis might open up a store at UVSC sometime in the future, and until then they have a new location in Provo.

Whacky Utah Weather

After recently attending a conference called AACRAO (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) in sunny central Florida last week, our staff came home to find snow on the ground in Utah. Keep in mind I've lived in Utah most of my life. I've seen it snow into June (only once, I don't mean to scare you), but I have never done a 180 whilst driving in the month of April (it happened yesterday...ah, scary).

You see, it's been warm here the past few weeks reaching into the 70's, even before we left for Florida, but ever shifting mother nature likes to mix it up on us here in the mountains. Hence, today it was warm enough for sprinklers, but the snow hadn't quite had a chance to melt just yet...random.

Sometimes even we get bored...

Yes, thats right friends, even your hard working, relentlessly traveling, and dog tired recruiters get a little antsy when they're confined to the office. For example, Erin, Troy & Tagg (Hali was at a High School actually working) found a parachute man from the nickel arcade and decided they wanted to "deploy" said paratrooper off something high to see it drop gracefully to the ground.

So this is what we came up with...

Yep, Troy standing on top of our flimsy cubicles. Genius!

All work and no play makes recruitment a dull job!

I know. It's AMAZING! A whole 10 seconds of distraction before it's back to our desks to get things done!

Summer Kickoff at UVU!

Today, students gathered in the quad to enjoy free food and great company, as UVU celebrates the first day of Registration for its Summer classes!

That's right, college students still flock to free food. So what better way to celebrate the first day of Registration for Summer classes than to feed the students of UVU for FREE?





We submit that there is no better way.






And our students seem to agree. These particular students traveled all the way from the 6th floor of the Gunther Trades building to get their delicious helping of sloppy joes, chips, brownies, and a drink.






"I didn't know what I was going to eat today," commented a Theater Major. "Turns out I didn't even have to make a decision, and that's really a win-win situation for me. I'm not much of a decision-maker."






Students from the Biology department, sporting UVU apparel, were equally excited. "You know summer's here when students start hanging out in the courtyard again. Also, it's warmer."

Intramurals

Now that the weather is warming up, intramurals are in full swing at UVU! Maybe you play/played volleyball, softball or basketball in high school, but don't necessarily want to play on the NCAA division 1A level at UVU...no problem! Keep your abilities sharp by joining an intramural team and using your skills to impress the ladies/guys. Joining intramural teams is often free, or comes at virtually no cost at all, so you have nothing to loose!

The Intramurals Office is located in the Student Center right across the hall from the bookstore. Information regarding various teams and activities are posted all over the walls of the Intramurals Office, and are available online at http://www.uvsc.edu/intramurals/.

Get out of the classroom occasionally, and have a blast with UVU intramurals!
