The school's promotion to university status may be the end of one journey, but it marks the beginning of a new one, said John Valentine, president of the Utah State Senate.
"Today is the first day of Utah Valley University," he said. "The chalkboards are blank. We have a clean slate, a slate upon which we can determine what time of university this will become."
Hatch expressed his faith that UVU will do the state proud.
"Utah is a state that stands for the opportunities that come through education," he said. "This great university is going to be one of the great pillars of our state education."
