New Look for the New UVU

One of the high points during Homecoming week was the unveiling of our new UVU logos. We have a new institutional mark, seal, and athletic marks. The reaction to the new marks was very postive. The bookstore is already selling apparel with the new marks. We gave away all of our UVSC Alumni shirts and other stuff at the Homecoming Reunion, so we’ll be ordering new things with the new logos.

UVU Monogram This is called the UVU Monogram. It will replace the old “tulip” UV thing that used to appear everywhere. The really cool thing about this mark is the first U. That funny notch thing is the outline of the state of Utah.

UV Logo This is the UV Logo. It will replace the interlocking UV.

UVU Wolverine Head This is the new Wolverine head. He was turned a bit so he’s more two dimensional and has two eyes showing. He looks great on everything he’s appeared on so far.

The next task for me is to figure out how we’ll be using these items for the alumni mark. Any ideas?

Hello world!

Welcome to the UVSC Alumni blog site.  I am the Director of Alumni Relations at UVSC, a position I’ve had for almost four years.  In the past four years, I’ve had the chance to meet a lot of UVSC alumni and often thought that I should start sharing my experiences with other alumni.  I had a meeting this morning with one of our alumni who is also a member of the UVSC alumni board, Curtis Morley.  Curtis has a bit of experience with the web and convinced me that I need to starting blogging, today.  So, here goes!

I am an alumni of UVSC.  I first took classes at UVCC and earned an Associate Degree in Humanities.  A couple of years later, I re-enrolled at UVSC in time to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with the first class of graduates to earn bachelor degrees.  I then went on to BYU law school where I earned a J.D. in 1998.  After working in a terrific law firm in Provo for several years, I applied for the Director of Alumni Relations position at UVSC and was lucky enough to get it. 

I am often asked why I left my position as a partner in a law firm to take a salaried job at UVSC.  Though I earn less per year at UVSC, I enjoy my work here and believe I’m making a difference.  I love meeting other alumni and hearing their stories.  The things I loved about being a student at UVSC are often the same things they love: the faculty, the small class sizes, and the opportunities to be part of something important.  I’m hoping to hear from many more alumni through this blog site.

The really fun thing about working at UVSC is that it is always changing.  On July 1, 2008 UVSC will officially become Utah Valley University.  The next year will be filled with activities and events as UVSC makes its final transition.   I hope you will enjoy reading about my experiences as the next year unfolds. Please feel free to contact me and tell me your story as I share my experiences with you.

Yours truly,  Jeri L. Allphin
