Aim for the highest cloud so that if you miss it, you will hit a lofty mountain. – Maori Proverb Utah Valley University, its faculty and students have set high and lofty goals in the area of sustainable mountain develop- ment. Utah Valley University joined the United Nations-related Mountain Partnership in 2006 in an effort to reach out to other mountain communities; from the mountain community that Utah Valley University calls home to the mountain communities around the world in an effort to strengthen co-operation and understand- ing of the challenges and issues that are unique to mountain living. Since 2006 Utah Valley University has hosted three ‘Women of the Mountains’ conferences; two in Utah and one in Peru. We have also organized the ‘International Mountain Day’ three times in order to promote mountain issues in the state of Utah and beyond its borders. Utah Valley University also sent a delegation to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) that was held in Rio de Janeiro in June of 2012. Utah Valley University faculty and students were able to contribute their thoughts and ideas to the final document of that conference as well as to the activities under the umbrella of the Third Global Meeting of the Mountain Partner- ship, which were held at the Mountain Pavilion during that time. Mountain issues are of special importance to us as we call the mountains our home. Utah Valley University is nestled near the mountain range known as the Wasatch Front. These mountains have historic significance for all the people of this area. The mountains have been a source of life and renewal; first to the Native Ameri- cans who first inhabited this valley and then later to the Mormon pioneers who used the mountains as a source of water to irrigate this dry desert land and also as a natural defense against unfriend- ly armies who sought to push them out of the valley. Mountains have ever been an indelible part of Utah’s culture and identity. Raising awareness of mountain issues and creating part- nerships among mountain communities had been at the heart of 2 all of Utah Valley University’s efforts as a member of the Moun- tain Partnership. These efforts have had a positive affect for all who become involved. Utah Valley University students who dili- gently work with their professors to achieve these goals find them- selves a part of a global network of mountain communities; they have seen beyond the boundaries of their own mountains and gain an increased understanding of the world around them through firsthand experience. This firsthand experience is in keeping with the commitment to engaged learning that Utah Valley University strives for. While many undergraduate universities in North Amer- ica learn about international diplomacy from books, Utah Valley University students have opportunities to learn about it from first- hand experience. And they even created a vehicle for that purpose by uniting in a coalition of several student clubs at Utah Valley University, named Utah International Mountain Forum (UIMF). This volume is symbolic of the efforts of Utah Valley Uni- versity and UIMF to raise its students as a new generation of lead- ers in advocacy of the United Nations-related sustainable mountain development (SMD) agenda within Utah and the region. It con- tains student essays that discuss the issues of SMD such as the en- vironment protection, conflict resolution, and alternative energy use in the mountain regions, the need to constantly be listening to the prophetic voices among us, gender issues, and the benefits of governments working together for the good of the mountains. In section I of this volume essays that related the mountain issues of Utah and the United States are considered. The conflicts of the early Mormon pioneers are discussed as well as their political challenges settling the Utah Valley. Governmental cooperation in sustaining mountain environments is also a focus on one of the papers. Section II contains essays that discuss mountain is- sues in different parts of the globe such as the Ferghana Val- ley in the mountains of Central Asia and the Andes Mountains. The final section highlights the successes that Utah Val- ley University and UIMF has had with the High School Essay contests with topic chosen to cover mountain issues designated by the United Nations for every year. The Utah Valley Universi- ty High School Essay Contests began in 2011 to coincide with the 3 second Women of the Mountains International Conference that was held in Orem, Utah. High school students from around the Utah and Salt Lake Valleys were asked to submit essays on top- ics related to the event. As an established tradition to host those gathering annually, similar contests were held in 2012 and 2013. Although, Utah Valley University’s students efforts were overlooked in the United Nations Secretary General’s (UNSG) re- port in 2013 on sustainable mountain development, nevertheless, we will continue to engage youth for the mountain cause advoca- cy both in the Rocky Mountain region and globally. We hope the publishing of our first volume of student essay’s will be significant proof of the renewed efforts from Utah Valley University’s students as a whole in achieving their goal to make a real difference in the lives of the local and international communities. The distribution of Volume I of Youth and the Mountains is scheduled for the 4th Glob- al Meeting of the Mountain Partnership held in Erzurum, Turkey. In attempting to change the world in this way Utah Valley University students are aiming for the clouds but if we miss, according to the proverb, we will hit the lofty mountains.

  • The Complexities of Sex Education in Utah
    1 The Complexities of Sex Education in Utah Grace Sponaugle Occidental College, Urban & Environmental Policy Professor Cha, Professor Matsuoka, & Professor Shamasunder April 8, 2019 Sponaugle 2 Abstract Utah has a state-wide policy of abstinence education. Abstinence education programs have been proven to be ineffective at delaying the initiation of sex and changing sexual risk behaviors (Santelli et al., 2017), correlating with high rates of teen pregnancies and STIs ​ ​ ((Stanger-Hall & Hall, 2011)(McCammon, 2017)). Limiting the standards by which sex ​ ​ education programs are deemed “effective” to disease and pregnancy prevention, neglects the holistic view of sexual health as defined by the CDC. Therefore, in an attempt to understand the broader implications that sex education has had on youth in Utah, this study examined, through a survey and interviews, the social, cultural, and educational influences that youth in Utah attributed to their sex education. Additionally, this study analyzed how these influences have played a role in the youth’s self perception of their sexual knowledge and sexual health. This research revealed that abstinence education is inherently limited, calling for Utah to expand its sex education framework beyond abstinence education and embrace a comprehensive model for sex education. Sponaugle 3 Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank Professor Cha, Professor Matsuoka, and Professor Shamasunder for their help and guidance not only on the completion of my thesis, but also throughout my journey at Occidental College. Additionally, I would like to thank everyone that participated in the survey and interviews. None of this would have be possible without your support and interest in my project.

  • The Utah State Board of Regents' Recommended High School Curriculum
    No. 2018-3 | February 2018 Julie Hartley, Ph.D. The Utah State Board of Regents’ Recommended High School Curriculum A Foundation for College Success Background This issue brief explains the research and rationale behind the college preparatory curriculum recommended for Utah high school students by the State Board of Regents. With one minor change, this curriculum was jointly agreed upon as the recommended basic college preparatory high school pathway by both the Board of Regents and the Utah State Board of Education in 2016 and has been the basic curriculum required for the statewide Regents’ Scholarship since its inception in 2008. In 2017, the Utah State Legislature made changes to the Regents’ Scholarship program, to take effect with the graduating high school class of 2019. Rather than outlining high school curriculum requirements in statute, as had been done in 2008, the new law tasked the State Board of Regents and the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education with determining the scholarship eligibility requirements. The law did specify that those requirements should include minimum standards of academic performance and a core curriculum that would motivate students beyond basic state high school graduation requirements. Most of the original Regents’ Scholarship curriculum requirements have been retained, but with some modifications that should make the scholarship easier for students to navigate. Regardless of whether high school students plan to pursue the Regents’ Scholarship, the Board of Regents encourages them to follow this curriculum as much as possible to prepare themselves for college. College Readiness Standards The State Board of Regents and the Utah System of Higher Education define college readiness as the ability to successfully complete credit-bearing, college-level coursework in an associate or baccalaureate degree program without remediation.
