This benefits the more than 85 percent of the student body who remain in Utah post graduation. "UVU understands its role as a key player in contributing to the economic engine of the state of Utah by providing competent graduates who have practical experience in their specific areas of expertise," said Michelle Taylor, Associate Vice President of Student Services. Another component to take into consideration is the newly acquired university status, which is appealing to prospective students. "Students are excited about the notion of receiving the quality education we've been offering for years, yet now under a university moniker and mission," said Holland. Enrollment numbers are recorded daily through the third week of the semester when the official head count is reported to the state. Although the projected enrollment percentage is drastically higher, the size of UVU classrooms will only allow for an estimated three percent increase. "The fact is, this is a very popular institution that's got tremendous momentum, and I think that really resonates with people," said Holland.
