First time ffireshmeim eimiroMmeimti: drops dramatically at UVSC MET Rtlft llii io Lee rlXes Staff A dramatic decline in first-time freshman enrollment instigated the Office of Institutional Research to survey 494 recent high school graduates who attended UVSC, BYU, or one of the other state colleges. Enrollment dropped from 3,592 in fall 1998 to 3,092 in fall 2002. The goal of this research was to better understand student perceptions of UVSC and to provide useful recruitment information to future students. The ACT data file included a total of 6,718 high school graduates in 2001 that had UVSC included in their choice set for higher education. However, only 22 ultimately attended the college. There were about 1,738 high school graduates in 2001, who listed UVSC as a top choice and failed to attend any college the next academic year. Other competing schools' student attendance was as follows: 12 BYU in Provo, 7 BYU Idaho, 6 Salt Lake Community College, 5 Utah State University, 5 Snow College, 4 Dixie uvsc stucjents tae time out to relax on campus.

One more reason students choose UVSC is because of the high school concurrent enrollment program. High school students feel encouraged to continue their education at UVSC, and transition in familiar surroundings. Kristin Leavitt, UVSC student who participated in the concurrent enrollment program said, "I was excited about college after high school graduation. I remember that I felt comfortable at UVSC, and didn't experience the difficulty that a lot of my friends did when they started school."

A strong snowstorm swept the region and stranded them for six days in the southern Utah back-country. Metcalfe, of London, was found as he staggered to get help miles away from the couple's abandoned vehicle and from where his companion succumbed.One of the men who rescued Metcalfe said the couple, who weren't dressed for winter and had only snacks with them, were trying to navigate a road that even locals consider barely passable in the best weather. The case underscores the caution urged for tourists who test the state's scenic but rugged wilderness.The couple entered the monument on a dirt road that Sharrow describes as routinely traveled but "not this time of year." After reachine a ccoeranhic feature : t Courtesy Photo called Grosvenor Arch, the couple headed east on a minor dirt road that Sharrow said ordinarily may be traveled by only 20 people a year. Cattle ranchers Shanon and Vance Pollock were riding an ATV into the monument to check on cows Monday when they saw Metcalfe. Their Jeep nearly buried by snow, the two stayed inside the vehicle for nearly five days, until March 1, when they set out for help. At first they backtracked about four miles from the Jeep and spent the night under a tree. The next morning, Crowley reportedly insisted Metcalfe continue without her. Metcalfe had walked more than 15 miles from his Jeep when he was found by the Pollocks, and about 11 miles from where Crowley was found by a search helicopter.
