Accompanied by Christy Bills, an entomologist from the Utah Museum of Natural History, the group spent Saturday and Sunday in various areas around St. George collecting butterflies, beetles and any other insects that could be found. Despite bad weather conditions, more than 100 specimens were collected. Monk said the insects gathered will be used to teach students the methods of insect specimen -preservation and for ongoing research at UVU. " The preserved insects will" be added to the UVU insect collection, which is currently very limited. The insect collection is a valuable teaching aid in laboratories and classes. Another similar trip is being planned for this summer.

He also indicated that because a new dean will be hired next year, the school could potentially face fur- ( ther difficulties in restoring jobs since that person may have a different goal and vision for the school than the existing administration. This may or may not include the reinstatement of the cut positions. The Entrepreneurship Institute is not the only program affected in the business school; other positions have been cut as well. Wilson said the school is looking to replace them with adjunct faculty and that they are currently hiring a new full-time position to replace a recent retiree. He also said the new MBA program is something to look forward to. The new proposed MBA program is tentatively set to begin Fall 2010. The proposal will go to the Board of Regents during the summer for final approval. A couple of new positions for the program will be announced later this week. "We've got a bright future for the program," Wilson said. "[The Woodbury School of Business] is doing very well."
