Show your new/— A2 Internships and work experience helpgrads make more money From REPORT -A1 dents work their way through school." Lue said. "By the time our students graduate they probably have more work experience than the average BYU graduate for instance." In addition to making more money. UVSC grads also tend to find their first jobs in Utah. Over 80 percent of Utahans who graduated from UVSC in 2004 stayed in ihe Beehive State, with only Weber State retaining more. In addition to keeping Utah residents around. UVSC also kept 60 percent of their out of state residents in Utah after graduation. That retention rate is quite a bit higher than any of the other school's in the state. When it comes to finding that all-important first job after graduation Lue suggests that students plan ahead. "The most important thing is getting your foot in the door, getting in the industry you want to work in." Lue said. "That might mean taking a job that doesn't pay all that much, but at least you are on the right track." The foundation's report also looked at graduates that participated in some type of internship program. Westminster had the highest percentage of graduates with internships with 70 percent, followed by Utah State with 50 percent'and UVSC with 49 percent. When it comes to internships Lue recommends that students make sure their time is well spent. "Are you just doing this internship just for the credit, or is it something worthwhile?" For the college this news couldn't come at a better time as they soon will be lobbying the state to help fund their new library. '"We will definitely be using it [the report] in our literature," Half said. "We would be stupid not to," A stadium without a name Parkway Crossing fails to make bond payment. Will students be left with the bill? Jon Long News Writer As .students walk around campus from class to class, they are directed to buildings named in honor of the donors that supported the school with contributions. Yet one of the newest additions to the campus still has yet to receive an Official name. The "Home of the Wolverines." the school's baseball stadium, has not seen any of its pledged donations. For the second time since the stadiums inception, a donor has backed out of its pledged donation. "This is a valuable asset because of its location," said Dr. Derek Hall. With the stadiums prime location and being home to the Orem Owlz, the stadium has been drawing a crowd since it's opening last year in March, a crowd that numbered 81,000 in attendance through out the season. Once again Utah Valley State has had to make the payment on a $4 million bond that was used to pay for the construction of the stadium. Each year a payment must be made on Nov. 1 until 2013, when the bond'will be paid, and each year the payments will increase. Although there are other donors involved, including the Orem Owlz who rent the stadium, the cost has been the official responsibility of Utah Valley State. Covering the first payment of $96,289 for 2004 and the second payment of SI 47,080 for 2005. The payments were made with monies from the schools auxiliary funds, said Hall.

So the question is whether or not the school can find a backer. Now the school is considering the option of finding another donor to help with the cost. With the donation comes the naming right to the stadium. But the school is not discouraged according to Hall, in its problem of finding a backer. The school already has offers on the table for the new track and field arena that will be added in the future to the northwest corner of campus. As of now the school will continue to ensure that the payments are made every year until a new donor is found, or the gift agreement with Parkway Crossing is fulfilled.
