"I think everyone will be bowled over. It's going to be a place people will want to be." The new library is six times the size of the old one and cost $48 million. It is 19,000 square feet, with 33 group study rooms, an art gallery, indoor and outdoor food services, a writing center, the entire integrated studies department, four large seminar rooms, and much more. While the library is still in its final stages of completion, it is intended to open on July 1, accompanying the school's long awaited transformation to university status. One day prior to the grand opening is the library showcase. This afternoon event includes library tours, along with several activities such as fire-knife and Tahitian dancing, a student art show, musical performances, karate demonstrations, comedians and more.

Always one of the first of us to get to work in the morning, Chris was always on hand to greet us with a joyful igood morning,! and then to explore everything from the latest news to stories from whatever history we happen to be interested in. We are all richer for having known him. -David R. Wilson, Ph.D. Associate Prof, of History & American Indian Studies I was the department chair from the time Chris Kirsch started at UVSC until the end of last semester -- I'm on sabbatical and out of state right now. Like everyone else, I was stunned to hear of Chris's death. Chris was a proud family man, and he spoke at times about his son in the Marines fighting in Iraq. He mostly taught geography, but he was also glad to take on Latin American history. His years of business experience in South and Central America gave him a very down-to-earth perspective that informed his teaching (both in geography and history); I believe his students really appreciated the real life rather than a theoretical approach to these subjects. Chris was constantly revrsing his classes. He used a lot of technology and was experimenting with real-time student survey s (and on the spot quizzes), the results of which could be projected on the front screen during classroom discussions. Between his class periods, Chris was a fixture around the department office, joking around in an understated way with everyone who passed through. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and accomplished, but unassuming and easy to work with. 1 can't put into words how much I'll miss his friendship and collegiality when I return to campus -- it won't be ihc same place. -Keith Snedegar Professor of History Chris was a friend and I will miss him. He was also a good teacher. He cared for his students, and spent considerable time putting together his lectures. When students didnit do well on an exam, he was concerned about the student. He cared for his classes. He was proud of his family. In all respects he was a gentleman and scholar. -Alex Stecker History & Political Science •:•'/.« aW#-!Sii^Wir*s, • wi>rfc st u dy-Ji|;Ju 111o$iyiotiyers may b.dgfoVafyab le a special thanks to Carol Acevedo for her help with the new UVU Review redesign!
