News Editor UVU will be holding multiple events to remind students and faculty to be conscious of those around them who may be struggling, as well as provide support and resources for themselves as well. Upcoming events include, "Whole body laughter yoga" with Karen Baynard Sept. 19 at noon in Center Stage, and Julie Hersh, the author of "Struck by Living", will be speaking in the Ragan Theater on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at noon. There will be a question and answer session afterwards. NYE FROM Al converted into a sundial to illustrate this humorous fascination he inherited. Nye's father proposed that the Washington Monument be converted into a gigantic sundial. With all of the enthusiasm he puts into his work, it's not a surprise to find that Nye actually started his career in the entertainment industry. His work as an actor and comedian led to his debut as "the science guy." After five years in that celebrated role, Nye went on to participate in other television programs aimed at science education for all ages, including The Eyes of Nye, Battlebots and Numb3rs. Nye was just as active in science outside of television. He recounted his experience working with a NASA team to install a sundial on the rover that would explore the surface of Mars. "We could reckon time, on another world," Nye said. "It would be cool!" Nye then seamlessly stitched the topic into a lesson about shadows and lighting. He compared Earth's lighting to that of Mars, pointing out that shadows on Earth have a blue tint, while Mars shadows have an orange tint. Maggie Owens, assistant to the vice president of student life and activities, was seen walking around campus prior to the event, letting students know that Nye was speaking. While promoting Nye's address, Owens only encountered two people who didn't recognize his name: international students from Russia and Zimbabwe. Owens was shocked to see so many people in the ballroom, estimating that there were nearly 2,000 people in attendance. She cited Nye's passion for what he does as the reason for the high numbers. "When anyone is excited about something, it's much more fun to learn about and to watch," Owens said. Nye finished with the sentiment that it is up to students to decide the future, and that it's on us to change the world. Nye, now the executive director of the Planetary Society, reaffirmed that this generation must take care of the world. "There are things we are sure of, that are absolutely wrong," Nye said. After his remarks, Nye answered questions from the audience for over an hour before shaking hands and taking pictures with hundreds of students. UVU Police officers are available to students whenever they are in need. GILBERT CISNEROS/UVU REVIEW UVU Police Beat BY TIFFANY THATCHER Asst.
