Involvement is Key

National studies have shown that students who are involved in extra-curricular activities in college not only enjoy their college experience more, but are more likely to stay in school and graduate. So, we thought we would test that theory by seeing what activities our Community Ambassadors are involved in. Be prepared, even this shortened list is overwhelming! But, now you know where to go to get the information on any of these awesome extra-curriculars.

STUDENT LIVING. REDEFINED.

Isn't your university experience as much about what happens outside of the classroom as what happens in it?

At Wolverine Crossing, we value the experience of student living and strive to provide the best learning and growing experience for University students. We believe that for students at Utah Valley University, there is no better student living experience around.

Our award-winning Residence Life Program, engaging community ambassadors, monthly activities, PHD-level faculty-in-residence, and the best amenities around, all serve to provide the premier housing experience in Utah Valley.
