A Partnership Focused on Student Success
This recognition highlights the strong partnership between UCCU and Utah Tech University. Together, efforts have focused on initiatives that go beyond the classroom—providing students with hands-on learning experiences, financial education, and real-world tools they can carry into their futures.
During the presentation, Lance Brown, Chief Advancement Officer at Utah Tech University, shared:
“UCCU has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to Utah Tech through its generous investment in student success, hands-on learning opportunities, and financial wellness programs. Their partnership equips students with both academic experiences and essential real-world financial skills, preparing them for successful futures. Through their continued support and engagement, UCCU has made a meaningful impact on the Utah Tech community, and they are a deserving recipient of the Community Partner of the Year Award.”
Investing in Real-World Impact
Education should extend beyond textbooks. That’s why programs are prioritized that help students build confidence in their financial future. Through financial wellness initiatives and experiential learning opportunities, students gain resources to navigate life after college.
This partnership allows for direct connection with students, helping to better understand their goals and provide guidance that is practical, relevant, and meaningful.
Looking Ahead
Receiving this award is an honor, but more importantly, it reinforces an ongoing mission. Continued collaboration with Utah Tech University and other community partners will support education, foster growth, and help individuals achieve their goals.
Gratitude is extended for this recognition, along with excitement to continue making a difference in the lives of students and the broader community.
