Blessed is the beloved True Wolverine. True Wolverine is one of UVU’s continuous traditions, one where strangers meet in the courtyard under an oh-so romantic midnight sky. These strangers, after pairing off, enjoy a lip-lock moment only to never speak again. It’s my opinion that True Wolverine is the worst introduction to what UVU is […]
During my strenuous time in college, I’ve been enrolled in four schools and have participated in many forms of student involvement. My first role, at SLCC, was the man behind a mask, the infamous mascot–Bruin Bear. I pretty much did that throughout my whole tenure at SLCC, while also wearing a few other hats. Some […]
If you haven’t decoded it yet, I despise fall semester. I know this makes me sound like some whiny brat and that all I’m good for is complaining, but let the record be known that I do have positive things to say. Honestly, it’s just that fall semester is among us again, and it happens […]

These meetings help them decide how to improve the structure of UTA, and help reduce their ongoing public scrutiny, by allowing the community to be involved. Earlier last week, UTA announced that subgroups within the committee would no […]
If you’re a follower of the Sanchez Chronicles, i.e., my articles, then it’s probably not difficult to observe that I lean more to the left than the right on the topic of politics. Now, don’t get me wrong here, I’m a supporter more of who has the better interest in what’s best for our country, […]
Recently, Utah’s governor Gary Herbert broke the internet with a comment to lobbyists that he will ‘go anywhere’ to meet with campaign donors – for a check. Now, this isn’t news that politician’s 1:meet with lobbyists, and 2: take bribes. It’s just that this one happened to be recorded and exposed, unfortunately to Gov. […]
Recently, the Deseret News published an article reflecting on an increase of gonorrhea cases in Utah, particularly through groups that have usually been considered low-risk when it comes to sexually transmitted diseases. Cases have quadrupled in the last five years, going from 310 cases in 2010 to 1,564 in 2015. Why does this matter to […]
