Environmental Technology (ET) UVU Environmental Technology Building (ET) - Orem Utah
UVU Environmental Technology Building:
Environmental Technology Management program: Environmental Studies challenges students to examine both the ecological and social underpinnings of environmental issues and the complex interplay between natural and social systems, from local to global scales. Since humans are integral parts of ecological systems, an understanding of the biosphere must include studies in both the humanities and natural science. A degree in Environmental Studies is not a degree in Environmental Science nor Environmental Technology, but is inherently a liberal arts degree useful for students seeking academic or professional paths in public policy on the environment. |

UVU Woverines
UVU Wolverine Statue - UVU Mascot Willy the Woverine
The Woverine Mascot
The need for a school mascot came about in the early years of the school’s athletics program. Multiple sources agree that the student body voted for the wolverine over other animals.
According to Barbra Wardle, the sculptor who made three of the school’s wolverine statues on campus, President Wilson W. Sorenson was exceptionally fond of this choice. Wardle remembers Sorenson comparing the school to a wolverine because of its small size and fearless attitude.
Soon after the mascot was decided, the school purchased a large furry wolverine suit.
Today, Willy the Wolverine, named for Wilson Sorenson, can be found promoting school spirit at most of the school’s sporting events and on YouTube skydiving and wakeboarding. UVU Review
