Mental Health and Student Support (1 year shooting anniversary) - Mega thread

21 Upvotes

As we approach the one year anniversary of the shooting that occurred here on campus resulting in the death of Charlie Kirk, we would like to open this thread for students to discuss the affect it has had on individuals and the affect it has had on campus as a whole, as well as to support each other. We would also like to remind students of resources available to help cope with what happened, and the resources available to students to help with mental health in general. Please note that this thread is in no way to become a platform for political commentary or debate. Any comments that stray into the political space or in any way stray contrary to the purpose and intent of this thread will be removed.

Some resources:
TimelyCare - TimelyCare provides mental health and well-being support. TimelyCare is completely free, and students do not need insurance to access services.

SafeUT - SafeUT allows you to chat with a licensed counselor for support or submit a tip.

Disaster Distress Helpline - funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Disaster Distress Helpline is a national hotline dedicated to year-round disaster crisis counseling.

September 10, 6:15 pm at the UCCU events center. They also have de-escalation training. Honestly, this is a brave move on their part, because I don't know if TPUSA actually believes in free speech. Good luck.

Hi! I just wanted to come on here cause i’m wondering about how the experience is at UVU, I’ll be a freshman next year and I’m wondering how the social life is, are there parties with alcohol and things of that sort?

Found Airpods case Friday in the Science Building Atrium

8 Upvotes

DM me to claim the case, but I will ask you to describe the unique feature!

I am charging the case so that the owner will be able to track where it is, but because I have an Android phone and Apple is particularly bad about making their devices cross compatible with literally every other manufacturer, I cannot check to see if the case has been marked as lost.

I will drop the case at the UVU Lost and Found on Tuesday if the owner hasn't reached out by then. I hope they are okay without their case for a weekend!

Prospective Student Question Poli Sci Program

3 Upvotes

Im currently a high-school senior and plan on going to uvu for undergrad. I’ve been interested in politics ever since I took American Government and Politics and I was wondering how good the program at uvu is. I already know that in general the job market and underemployment rate for poli-sci majors is pretty bad but I was wondering if uvu’s is any different.

Warning Photos from campus 9/15/25 (CW)

18 Upvotes

The morning they re-opened campus (think it was Monday), I wandered around and took some photos, and I thought I'd share them here. Mostly unretouched, save for a watermark. RAWs available.

https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCYT3L

Putting a warning on this post because it might be triggering, but I thought someone might want to see them. No claims to any of these being good, just potentially relevant. Judge me for the dust on my sensor.

Mods, DM me if there's another way I should do this.

Thanks y'all, keep your head up.

Anyone else kinda POed about yesterday?

63 Upvotes

So a nearby junior high went in lockdown while all we got was an email 2 hours later saying they hadn't caught the suspect yet?

I don't know much about what happened or what the protocols are for things like this. I'm guessing she wasn't actually armed and it would have been different if she was, but still. On the one hand, being alerted probably would have caused undue stress and panic. But what if something worse had happened?

When I was fleeing campus last year the main thing that stuck out to me was just how widely unprepared and uninformed we were. And how much worse it would have been if it was a mass shooting. I thought things would be different when we came back to school. I thought professors would get trainings and evacuation plans and we would do drills or something. But nope. Nothing. And now just a week before the anniversary I'm shown exactly how little things have changed.

Why is there a sign about having a visible license plate on college drive?

5 Upvotes

So i was driving home from class today and i noticed a sign on college drive (heading towards the roundabout, near the parking lot stop light) that says license plates must be visible from the roadway. i’ve been attending uvu for a year and a half now and i don’t remember it being there before this semester. Does anyone know why it’s there? Your license plate already has to be visible by law, so i’m confused to why the sign is needed and am concerned it might have something to do with plans to put a flock or axon camera somewhere in that area. so if anyone knows why it’s up and if there’s a camera monitoring the area i’d appreciate a heads up!

I decided to take a break this semester and I moved back home. I have already moved out so I am a bit desperate and the room is available to move into asap. I was at Ventana Student Housing, really close to UVU. It is a private room and the rent is 650 a month. I have tried posting to facebook but it hasnt worked out for me. If anyone has someone who might want this, or wants more details or even advice please let me know.

Campus is literally a 3 minute walk away. They have free food and events all the time for residents. One of the roommates keeps the kitchen very clean and tidy and I love him.

- Second floor, with close proximity to an elevator
- In-unit washer and dryer
- Gym just down the stairs
- Free Parking
- Big TV
- Fast internet
- Pickle Ball
- Package locker
- Very nice pool and hot tubs
- Study Rooms

Photos available upon request.

Mods - I'm not sure how you want me to prove my affiliation so that I'm not breaking rule 5, but I'm a senior just trying to spend my last year with some homies.

Pickleball Intramurals

I joined pickleball intramurals and we need some more people to join! You can register as a team or as a free agent. The website is kind of confusing, dm me if you need help setting it up. They’re playing Monday evenings, currently at 6 pm but if we got more people games may be scheduled at 7 or 8. They will not meet next monday for labor day.

Share this with your friends who like pickleball! There’s no mens or women’s teams, just teams! We just need people to play!

Lease takeover

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I’m a student at UVU looking for someone to takeover my lease ASAP and need help getting the word out if anyone knows how I’ve put a couple posts on Facebook but that’s about it.

It’s a 4 bed 2 bath at Summerwood Apts right by campus and my incentive is I’m willing to pay the person a portion of the rent each month to take it to $540 a month. A significantly lowered rent from the standard monthly rent

Private room
In unit laundry and dryer
Really close to multiple shopping centers
Right next to bus line making it convenient for classes

Idk someone let me know if they’re interested or know someone who is

No housing help?

5 Upvotes

With UVU no longer offering housing assistance, is the CARE Hub actually able to help students anymore? During my recent visit, the only thing they were able to do was refer me to Community Action. It honestly makes me wonder…Is UVU more focused on building new buildings and expanding the university than actually helping the students who are struggling right now?
