The day of bowl making included both professors and intermediate or advanced pottery students and will have a second part in the spring. Between the two days, Jensen said that he thinks they can crank out 400-500 bowls. "Its a donation," said Jensen. "Students can really make a difference with their art work and can help the community by making bowls. It's the best way to become engaged." The fundraiser is to be held on March 6 at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo. Handmade soup bowls from local potters are filled with soup and can be purchased for $20. Since 2006, the coalition has invited community members to benefit the organization by purchasing the the bowl they eat from. All proceeds are donated to the coalition. However the event has become increasingly more popular and the demand for professional bowls is increasing as they become collectors items.

This space, which once housed students through their academic struggles and achievements, became obsolete in comparison. It was soon forgotten, and its legacy was degraded to mere brick and concrete. However, it was not forgotten by everyone. It was to be revived and given a new mission. Its existing framework would be renovated and it would become a center dedicated to students. The idea was to bring the various student services together within the same physical location. The initial plan included housing one-stop along with all of the related departments, but space was too limited to accommodate everyone. "We thought, if they can't all go, is there some kind of a concept that would really open the doors to student success in a way that would be meaningful?" said Cory Duckworth, vice president of student affairs. "We came up with the idea to call it the Losee Center for Student Success, and bring into the facility all of the positions that council and advise students, which would help them in accomplishing their higher education objectives." It became a matter of deciding which entities would really further this mission. Departments such as the Center for Engaged . Learning, Accessibility Services, the Career & Academic Counseling Center and Student Advisement & Support Services were among the 23 chosen. Unaffiliated with student services, the Behavioral Sciences Faculty Offices and the Communications Department were also chosen, due to overcrowding and inaccessibility.

The program began with a welcome from Matthew Holland, president for almost four months now. "We-all owe a great round of applause to Dick and Joanne Losee," said Holland. It was their donations and a life of service that made this center possible and the building new bears their name. Architect Boyd Vie- hweg of Axis Architecture also attended and spoke to students about the continuity they tried to create in the-building by using a'bamboo-"ribbon." Seeing as the Losee center is the new all-inclusive place for student services, this continuity is - important to bring previ--S-ously separate departments together. To Cory Duckworth, vice president of Student-Affairs, the building is a representation of patience, endurance and a collaboration of efforts. "The Losee center will be a great asset to us," said Trevor Tooke, student body president. He thanked the legislature, board of trustees, the governor and school administration on behalf of over 30,000 students.

A senior in business finance and banking, Perez encourages students to take advantage of every opportunity they are presented. As Miss UVU International in 2008 and assistant coordinator in the Latinos Initiative, she loves helping students especially international students to succeed. Having been in the U.S. for only four years, Perez still has family in the Dominican Republic being affected by the declining world economy.
