Steve Royster asked all Rotarians to wear a uniform or other item representing your military or Boy Scout affiliations to Rotary next week for a special Veterans Day program.

Greg Hudnall served as sergeant. Andy Anderson auctioned one of Tamara Tolley's famous quilts which was purchased by Tom Powell. All proceeds go to the Provo Rotary Charitable Foundation.

Bill Bridges introduced speaker Jeff Maxfield, dean of UVU's school of Public Service.
The School of Public Services trains public administrators and emergency response professionals such as police officers, paramedics, firefighters and Homeland Security experts.

“This is a major accomplishment for UVU, the first, and only, school of public services in USHE. “We are now the only place which houses police, fire, EMS, Homeland Security, and emergency management all in one place.”

The school serves the 2,500 UVU students currently enrolled in public services programs. It is designed to allow the training to be more focused and have greater impact in the community, especially as UVU students become engaged through internships and employment.

There are currently more than 200,000 jobs in the Utah public sector. Students may earn a BS degree in Public Service or become an Emergency Management Technician.
