The Board of Regents rejected a plan to develop a college facility near Park City, finding the demand for higher education is not growing nearly as fast as the population in Summit County, although the growth projections put the county's population at nearly 28,000 in 2010, up from 15,500 in 1990. While the 12,500 increase seems substantial, it is not enough to provoke the county to build another school. They feel the classes already offered by the University of Utah and UVSC at the Park City Library and Education Center are adequate to meet residents' needs. A survey was conducted to determine the needs in this area, and it found that Summit County residents do not mind com muting for college-level classes. The survey also found that residents prefer graduate-level courses, probably because many already have a bachelor's degree. A 1990 Census ranks Summit County Number 1 in the state for percentage of residents over age 25 with associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. Although regents found the educational needs are being met in Summit County, they did recommend another needs assessment of the area be conducted in two to four See PARK CITY, Page 5 I 2-16 m the pc o cents ner ooo't or nvc i Thursday and Fri ' :iation u u a i will for a ay all A NA- ,apro-idents careers, students Kurt obert and Cliff s place in Business decile.

UVSC is helping them achieve this goal. UVSC is currently involved in six dif ferent projects aimed at the development of Mongolia.

Khando was asked to give a short speech once she received the award and in doing so touched emotions of all who could hear her voice. "It was good for me, acting like a therapy to talk after such a long time," said Khando Chazotsang Chazotsang, "it was healing, but I still feel emotional." Although Chazotsang wasn't planning to share such feelings with a room mostly filled with strangers, once she accepted Chazotsang said the reality set in, the power of the UN, the place, and the important people who would be there listening to her comments made her realize the importance of what she might be able to tell them. The Women's Commission sends delegates all over the world looking for people who serve for their cause.
