A delegation of 48 students from Utah Valley University’s (UVU) College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) was sent to the 67th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on March 6-10. There, the students presented research, toured the general assembly, and met high-level U.N. officials.

“Once again, UVU´s voice reaches far and wide and empowers our students to deliver their research as they advocate for women everywhere at the 67th session of the Commission on the Status of Women,” said Baldomero Lago, UVU’s chief international officer.

The delegation was also part of the Utah International Mountain Forum (UIMF), a coalition of student clubs at UVU dedicated to sustainable mountain development and promotion of the state of Utah. On the first day, the students submitted two volumes containing 78 peer-reviewed research items they conducted and produced as part of the UVU Why It Matters Conference.

“We are so proud of these students and all that they have accomplished,” said Dr. Janet Colvin, Associate Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
