I.INFORMATION.

A. President's Informal Report. President Romesburg reported that FTE is up more than 10 percent over last year.? The College generally has a huge increase, but at present cannot serve more. The Education Building, which will house the education program, should be ready in January. The Information Sciences Building will be ready in 2001 and will make it possible to serve 3,500 more students, but will also mean significant parking problems. We continue to foresee nothing but growth.

B. Wasatch Campus Gift. The President reported that the College has just received a commitment to a $5 million gift from Jeff and Molly Knowles for construction of the first building at the College?s Wasatch Campus. Mr. Knowles is the founder of Authorize.net, a local internet payment company. The first building will include classrooms and administration space to replace space currently leased in downtown Heber City.

UVSC won seven national medals at the competition, and in the state competition won fifteen 1st Place, twelve 2nd Place, and six 3rd Place awards. Professor Taylor said the SkillsUSA-VICA competition is a great boost of morale, much like the Olympic Games, and the program is an effective means to market the Technology, Trades and Industry areas.
