Utahn House Speaker Brad Wilson Officially Joins Senate Race:
After announcing his resignation from the Utah Legislature last week, Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson made a special announcement last night in Draper (09/27). With Senator Mitt Romney not seeking reelection, Wilson will be officially running for his seat in the U.S. Senate. Quoting Ronald Reagan, Wilson expressed the importance of American values in the campaign:

“I cannot stand by and watch while our freedoms are lost, and these values are ignored,” Wilson stated. “If left unchecked, it’s going to lead to the decline and decay of this nation.”

UVU celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month
September 19, 2023 Chase Martin
Reading Time: 2 minutes
As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, UVU’s Latino Initiative has planned many amazing events to celebrate their culture as well as offer resources to the Latino community.

UVU is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a multitude of events spanning from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Spearheaded by the Latino Initiative, this celebration is dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation for Latino cultures while also providing valuable resources to individuals of Latino descent, empowering them to excel in their academic and professional pursuits.

Elizabeth Nield, the Program Director of the Latino Initiative, emphasized her commitment to further expanding their community here at UVU. In collaboration with President Tuminez, their goal is to increase Latino enrollment to 15%, a milestone that would grant UVU the status of an Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution, providing access to additional resources.

Hispanic Heritage Month offers the perfect opportunity for the Latino Initiative to realize its goals. They kicked off the month of celebration with the Latino Carnaval that took place on Sept. 9, where they had performances of cultural dances from all around Latin America. They also had a DJ so that attendees could dance. This festive event set the tone for the forthcoming celebrations.

While these events primarily aim to foster the growth of the Latino community at UVU and provide vital resources for Latinos, Nield emphasized that “everyone is welcome.” Hispanic Heritage Month offers an inclusive opportunity for all to engage with and celebrate the community.

Their next event is a Latino mental health workshop today on Sept. 19, addressing topics such as healthy relationships, domestic abuse, and the experience of transgender individuals within the Latino community.
