uvu revi UVU fight song • Whitney Wagner News writer Most UVU students could sing BYU's, Notre Dame's or Michigan State's, but many seem ignorant of their own university's fight song. It seems more than likely that a good number of them aren't even aware that UVU has a fight song. The school's fight song has actually been around for about 25 years. It was written and composed in 1982 by Clyde D. Sandgren, who also wrote BYU's fight song. Even though the song lyrics have gone through many changes as the school has progressed, the tune has always stayed the same. When UVSC became UVU it was no different. A committee made up of students, faculty, staff and community members met to help adapt the song to UVU. When all was said and done, the new UVU fight song was renamed "The Fight Song," which has the following lyrics: Stand up and cheer mighty green, We are the proud Wolverines. Strong in battle till the game is done, Till the victory we have won, won, won.

This newspaper underwent its own change this summer - from The College Times to UVU Review, Here at UVU Review, we strive to inform and entertain the student body with a student-created quality weekly newspaper for you, the students. One for you to read, respond to, and even become a part of. As for UVU, bills have been passed, the library has been constructed and dedicated, and a slew of UVU-ushering activities have been running full force all summer long. Now it is time to start the first semester as a university. University status has been identified, and now it's time to build an identity. It's time to create the university atmosphere that so many long for at his point in life. UVU offers myriad opportunities to get involved in university experience. This is the time when freedom and responsibility finally merge together. Don't let this occasion to be engaged in the university experience slip, because it is a unique and opportune time. I hope you enjoy UVU Review, and especially UVU. Stand up and sing UVU, Our song will ring loud and true. Follow your colors, Be green through and through, Mighty Wolverines of UVU. Go! Fight! UVU!

Never have there been such great opportunities for students as there are now. As your Student Body President, I would like to inform you that you are a member of Utah Valley University Student Association (UVUSA), and extend an invitation for you to participate in UVUSA by joining one of the many committees that serve the UVU community. UVUSA offers unlimited opportunities to each student, and my hope is that you will take the opportunity to get involved. Becoming a part of this university has changed the way I look at school and has broadened my educational experience. Through Academic Senate you have the chance to represent the students throughout your school keeping the student voice heard. Working with Student life and activities, you will be part of the biggest dances, best parties, and most elaborate events in the state. This year the school has joined the Great Western Athletic conference, giving the athletes here at UVU the chance to conference championships. UVUSA is proud of that accomplishment, and look forward to supporting its athletes this year. I encourage each and every student to join the Mighty Athletic Wolverine League (the MAWL) this year in supporting the athletic events that will kick of our first year as Utah Valley University.
