He said the thing he'll miss most about UVU are the people and the diversity of the 1,100 employees on campus. In honor of Sederburg, a new endowed scholarship will be named after him. Also, a presentation of the key of the school was handed over to Hitch who wil] fill the interim president position, until a permanent president will be found. Also, the presidential search committee was announced. Those on the committee include Board of Regents members. Board university status have been made over the past two years, and the growth of the institution is being followed by growth in the enrollment numbers. The new library has opened up room for classes and for students to study, and 90 new faculty members were hired during summer'2007. If these additions are enough to assist with a growing student population has yet to be seen, but an added 2,000+ students will undoubtedly have an effect on campus culture. of Trustees members, faculty and community. They will be doing a nationwide search for a qualified candidate for the president position and hope to have the position filled in five to six months. Although Sederburg will no longer be on campus, he will still be highly involved in the affairs of the school as well as all the other public institutions as he works in his new position with the state. "I'll be back to regulate you next week," joked Sederburg. "My official last duty as president is to give you the rest of the day off."
