Spencer Shell News Writer With the potential of UVSC obtaining university status in the near future, there has been a lot discussion over a new name. "There's no topic that gets the public more interested and passionate than naming the institution," said Val Hale, UVSC's vice president for institutional advancement and marketing. Utah Valley State University, Utah Valley University and Central Utah University are the head runners in the discussion over what UVSC's name should be if the school is granted university status. A recent informal poll posted on UVSC's website showed that out of 1,524 responses by alumni, students and local business leaders, 48% prefer UVU, 45% prefer UVSU, and only 7% prefer CUU. Current students at UVSC have their own opinions on the name change. "I am leaning more towards UVSU. It's the closest to the current name, and I feel that the school shouldn't move away too much from what it is now," Tyler Hall said, a junior at UVSC. Alisa Hawkins, sophomore attending UVSC from out of state, said, "I like UVU, it sounds more like a university name. I also feel that out of state students would be more inclined to the name, and the HELLO my name is UVSC school, with the word' state' gone from the name." Jennifer Wall, Utah Valley resident and a freshman attending UVSC, said, "I prefer UVSU over UVU. Not for any big reason, but simply because only one letter would need to be changed, and it flows off of your tongue better. The change in name would not take place until UVSC officially switched to university status, which is prospected to happen in 2008. "The name of an institution really helps define the community," Hale said, "For years into the future, Utah Valley will be associated with this university." Research Declaration Gov. Huntsman will sign a declaration on Jan. 9 at 2 p.m., which will make Jan. 11 the official day for Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement. Loretta Palmer, UVSC Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Research and International Programs will be in attendance at the signing along with administrators from other Utah higher education institutions. UVSC students, working with their faculty mentors, continue to present their scholarly and creative works at regional and national professional aconferences. At the National Conference on Undergraduate Research held in April 2006, UVSC had more than 23 students presenting the results of their investigations. UVSC will also participate in the Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research (UCUR) which will be held Feb. 2. This conference is an opportunity for undergraduate students in all disciplines throughout the state of Utah to present their work in a scholarly setting to students, faculty and members of the community. UVSC is sending 66 students to the conference. "We are creating an environment that encourages students to expand knowledge in their fields through research," Palmer. "Research educates students in methods of inquiry and prepares them for careers as professionals, scholars, researchers and practitioners."
