NICK SCOTT Global Merit some of the education from UVU to trickle into the schools of Africa, in hopes of creating aself-sufficient, well-educated country. "We're bringing solutions from UVU to Africa, and not just Uganda, but the world. We have solutions to their problems. It's all about education," Scott said. The school will educate students on solutions for a number of problems in Uganda, such as poor health and hygiene, scarce food supplies, disease, education and overall sustain-abilitv. The partner ship with Utah gives American students an opportunity to share solutions with the schools in Uganda and pass on the knowledge to African students. The delegates came in the first place was because of David Ssejinja, Out-Of-State Recruitment Coordinator. He was bom and raised in Uganda and wants to get the university involved in helping his home. He hopes to launch a Study Abroad program there for next year.

A2 i 'WW By Emily Stephenson News Editor emilynicolinegmail.com With the presidential elections only a few months away, the UVU Review collected results from a poll conducted on 150 random students. Leaders of political groups on campus also gave their perspective on this election year. Covi King, president of the College Democrats, grew up in Seattle with a conservative father and a liberal mother. King claims she is moderately placed on the political scale. When King heard there was no Democrat group on cam pus, she decided to do something about it. King said she was surprised that 105 out of 150 students said they planned to vote. King said it is very important for students to discover for themselves what they really believe and to be proactive about it. King said the College Democrats' biggest objective is to take an open-minded approach and help encourage students to be more politically involved. "The direction we push is to get to know your local political leaders, understand the platform for the national parties and be registered to vote and act upon that knowledge," King said. "If we can't be open minded and learn about new things in college and while we're still young, then when is that going to happen?" King said she would, like students to understand that they need to realize there is more than one person responsible for the country's problems. "I think we really need to focus on holding Congress, our House Representatives and our Senators responsible," King said. "We have direct influence. President Obama is not perfect he's made some big mistakes. But we need to focus on changing that more than hating and blaming." Lauren Anderson, president of the ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM MUN0A, UVU adammun03art.com College Republicans, developed her interest in politics around the age of 8. She grew up in a home of politically active parents who encouraged her to pursue, her own political beliefs. Anderson said the number of undecided voters in the poll is typical. "The 1 8 to 24-year-olds take a little bit longer to decide on their candidate. That's perfectly normal. That happens every election cycle," Anderson said. "There will be kids who don't know who they're voting for until a week or less before the election. It's kind of an interesting phenomenon." see ELECTION 2012, A3 M)jij!pii!iK0l' t i vO.S ' ' A A2 V . ) ' SOCIAL HUB . . ... .... i I 1 i ' 1
