Monday, our Torts class hosted a very successful Insurance clinic where paralegal students were able to help other students with their questions about car insurance under supervision from an attorney. For those who missed it, they are following it up next week with round two. The clinic will be held next Thursday evening, March 11th from 6:30-8:30pm. Students are encouraged to ask questions or share problems pertaining to auto insurance. The paralegal students will then research those questions, discuss it with the supervising attorney, and provide follow up to provide the information requested.

Once again, the student services department is in need of tutors. This is a paid position and most people really enjoy it. If you are interested in our tutoring services, please contact Dave Sauer @ dsauer@utahcollege.edu or at (801)542-7234.

It brings me tremendous pleasure to be able to post this message. Last Wednesday, we were given the opportunity to raise as much money as possible to support the Red Cross and their humanitarian efforts in Haiti in the wake of devastating earthquakes. Globe Education Network generously offered to match any funds that we could raise by end of day Friday. Here at the West Jordan campus, we managed to pull together an amazing $503.62 in just over 48 hours. This means that our students, faculty and staff are responsible for a donation of more than $1,000 going to help disaster victims. I am in awe at the generosity displayed last week, and I want to thank everyone who participated from the bottom of my heart for all of their support.

We are celebrating 40 days of peace on our campus this year and we are excited to have you partake in the different activities.
