Utah Valley University, which spent two decades transforming from a modest community college into Utah's largest educational institution, once prided itself on having one of the safest campuses in the nation. That carefully cultivated image was irrevocably shattered in mere seconds by the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk.
The sprawling campus, home to nearly 50,000 students nestled beneath the Wasatch Mountains, will now forever be associated with the events of 10 September. A bullet tragically ended the life of the Turning Point USA founder as he addressed a large crowd at an outdoor amphitheatre situated in the heart of the campus.
