Fun Facts on Wolverine Wednesday!
UVU’s story began in 1941 as a small vocational school with just 132 students—and has since grown into the largest public university in Utah, serving more than 43,000 Wolverines today. Over the decades, the university has evolved from a local training hub to a nationally recognized leader in engaged learning.
The Woodbury School of Business is now one of the West’s largest AACSB-accredited business schools, connecting students to real-world opportunities through hands-on projects, global trips, and strong industry partnerships. UVU has welcomed executives from companies like Disney, Adobe, and Goldman Sachs to share their insights with students, helping bridge classroom learning with practical experience.
From its roots in Orem with stunning views of Mount Timpanogos to its ever-growing network of alumni across the world, UVU continues to embody grit, growth, and community. Every MBA and MSF graduate carries forward that same spirit of determination—learning by doing and leading with purpose.

MAcc Student Spotlight
Celebrating the students who bring dedication, curiosity, and drive to UVU’s MAcc program.
Meet Madelynne Erickson — MAcc student from Salt Lake City.
Madelynne’s journey through the MAcc program has been defined by perseverance and a love of learning. Inspired by her professors, classmates, and mentors—especially Marty Van Wagoner—she’s found motivation in every challenge and confidence in her ability to grow.
Her next goal is to earn her CPA license and continue learning in whatever role she takes on. Madelynne’s commitment to pushing herself through difficult concepts has shaped her into a resilient, self-driven accountant ready to take on new opportunities.
Outside the classroom, she shares a fun fact—she’s an identical twin! Her story is a reminder that progress often comes from challenging yourself and believing you can rise to meet what’s next.
The MAcc workload can hit hard. Between research memos, tax problems, and audit cases, it can start to feel like there’s no such thing as “caught up.” But the students who really thrive tend to do a few things differently.
• They stay consistent. Accounting rewards steady effort—one concept builds on another, and skipping steps catches up fast.
• They prepare before class. Reading the standards or reviewing notes beforehand makes class time more meaningful.
• They ask for help early. Whether it’s feedback on a case study or clarity on a regulation, early questions prevent late-night confusion.
• They practice precision. Small errors matter, and learning to slow down is part of mastering the craft.
Grad school isn’t about memorizing rules—it’s about developing the discipline and judgment to use them well.
