In celebration of Senate Bill 70 being passed to grant Utah Valley State College university status, UVSC will host a campus-wide party March 19 at 11:30 a.m. in the Sorenson Center Grande Ballroom. Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. will be present to sign the bill, enacting the legislation to change UVSC’s name to Utah Valley University.
“We anticipate this being one of the biggest and most important events in the history of the institution,” said Val Hale, vice president for advancement and marketing. “Among those who will participate in the event besides the Governor are key members of the legislative delegation, the Commissioner of Higher Education and civic, education and business leaders.”
The first 1,000 people in attendance will receive a free lunch. Entertainment will include performances by the UVSC a cappella choir and symphony orchestra, and a short film about the history of UVSC and the recent events. Keynote speeches will be given by the Governor, UVSC President William Sederburg, and others.
The celebration will be televised live on Comcast, 17 and on MSTAR, channel 15.
