Digital Learning Center

Today I went on assignment to take a tour of UVSC new Digital Learning Center with other members of the press guided by President Sederburg. They have made great progress towards completing our new library. It’s going to be a great addition to our school in becoming Utah Valley University on July 1.

My friend Carol Acevedo helped me create a new logo for my work. So you’ll see that on my pictures from here on out.

V Day

This past Tuesday UVSC held the fifth anual Vagina Monologues. It was my first time attending .and found it really interesting the different stories that were read.

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.

UVSC Orchestra

Words by Joyce Jocax

Every year the orchestra puts on a show called "Concerto Aria". A try out takes place to find the best solo vocalist and instrumentalist on campus. This year three soprano singers, a violinist, bassist and harpist, were chosen to perform accompanied by the orchestra. Two aspiring music majors dedicated their time to writing their own short orchestral pieces and they were performed by the orchestra. This performance uses big orchestral and operatic pieces to entertain the audience. Like many people you may not share a love of classical music, but after a variety show such as this one, you may be intrigued to learn more about the music program at UVSC.

We climbed up to Cloit Tower and the effort paid off with the great view from up top.

In Chinatown they were celebrating the Chinese New Years, or so I was told on the street. I thought that Chinese New’s Year was in January, so I’m not really sure what was going on.

It was fun to be down there nonetheless and see all the people in the streets.
