Utah Valley University

The University made several changes to the institution's schools and colleges with the move to university status, including the naming of the Woodbury School of Business. The other schools and colleges include the School of the Arts, School of Education, University College, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Science and Health, College of Technology and Computing, and College of Aviation and Public Services, which was approved in the fall of 2011. During Holland's first year, he developed four themes for the University — student success, inclusive, engaged and serious. Holland was instrumental in UVU's designation as an All-Steinway School, the development of a Business Engagement Strategy, the addition of the Freshman Reading Program and Presidential Lecture Series, the development of a strategic enrollment management plan and strategic planning advisory council, the implementation of the University Project and the creation of the Women's Success Center and the Center for Global & Intercultural Engagement to support the institution's inclusive focus. Structured enrollment was instituted fall 2012 to maintain UVU's historical role as an open admission institution while increasing the seriousness of the university experience. Enrollment in fall 2011 topped at 33,395 students. More than 80% of UVU's students are from Utah, with students representing all 50 states as well as 80 countries. President Holland is eager to build on the successes of previous generations and emphasizes the institution's role as a key contributor to the region's academic development and economic growth. UVU provides access to quality education as the current provider of higher education for more Utahns than any other state institution. Utah Valley University has overcome many challenges through innovation and creativity to provide opportunities for student success and engaged learning, which are the heart of UVU's mission.
