OREM — In an effort to be fair, Utah Valley State College student leaders and administrators decided earlier this year to give all extracurricular clubs the same amount of funding. UVSC women's rugby team, in green and yellow, now receives as much money as the men's team.

Coming from a college club that doesn't get equal funding...this is exciting! I hated that the men get more money than we did every year also. Great job ladies!!
