The Wilson W. Sorensen Society

The Wilson W. Sorensen Society is named after Wilson Woodruff Sorensen, who was the president of Utah Technical College from 1946-1982. He was a strong advocate in providing career options to students by educating them in a trade, as well as in creating a footprint in the community. During his presidency, he was instrumental in expanding the school's enrollment from 1,000 to over 5,500 students as the school transitioned into Utah Technical College, a state-run institution, and relocated to its current location. The expansion vision Sorensen extoled continued in the hands of others as the college successfully evolved into Utah Valley University, now the largest public school in the state.

UVU continues Sorensen's aspirations to progress in size and offerings in order to effectively and continuously transition to meet the current economic demands of the community. Much of this success is due to the many generous donations of community members and UVU Alumni. The UVU Foundation has used donated funds to increase UVU's endowment, offer scholarships, purchase equipment and resources, and increase learning spaces, to name a few. These funds allow the university to manage the voluminous needs created by the demand of expansion that has been placed on UVU due to expanded enrollment, while continuing to offer its students the quality education it has always been known for.

Members of the Wilson W. Sorensen Society are honored donors who have made a planned gift with the university and are recognized for their generosity during their lifetime. These gifts, once they mature, are used in the manner designated by the donors in the areas of the University about which the donors are passionate. Gifts include charitable reminder trusts, lead trusts, annuity trusts, bequests, IRA rollovers and other gift vehicles. The Society currently has more than 200 established gifts from people who have generously contributed to the University utilizing one of these philanthropic formats.
