I Department of History and Political Science Utah Valley University Presents: the 9th Annual Fri reation workshop ended with a boy suspended from a rail by duct tape. The boys who attended the zoology workshop met Reeky Ricardo, a striped skunk from the exotic rescue facility Wild Wonders. Sarah Jacobsen, owner of the Wild Wonders facility, was just one of dozens of educators and professionals who volunteered their time and effort at the conference. The boys arrived accompanied by parents and teachers from schools across Utah. James Hansen from North Summit said he enjoyed meeting the Highway Patrol trooper and attending the criminal justice workshop. His younger brother Jared, however, enjoyed the architecture workshop more. A wide range of workshops from forensic science to au- tomotive technology allowed the boys exposure to a variety of careers. The Equity in Education Center and Turning Point at UVU organized the event under the direction of Jennie Briggs. Briggs hopes the boys were excited about the conference and that they took advantage of the available resources. "There are virtually unlimited options for them to pursue and it's right here at their fingertips," Briggs said. The Empowering Your Tomorrow conference is molded after the girls' conference Expanding Your Horizons, which will hold its 26th annual event next March.

"If I would've known I would have loved to come to see what I wanted to do with my life." In a college atmosphere where students frequently switch their majors, conferences like Empowering Your Tomorrow seek to point these youth in the right direction early and give them a head start. Some educators believe that these kinds of resources could be vital to success in higher education. "These people that are coming today are coming on a day off when they have all kinds of other things to do," said Gwen Anderson, director of UVU's Multicultural Center. "They're taking advantages of opportunities that the university is giving them."
