Who are we

Education is at an inflection point. Universities are quickly evolving and new strategies are reshaping the education experience. We are Utah Valley University — the largest student enrollment among public universities in the state, with approximately 41,000 students. We are one of a growing number of institutions in the nation offering an integrated dual-mission model that combines the rigor and richness of a first-rate teaching university with the openness and vocational programs of a community college.

Who you'll work with

Enterprise Risk Management and Compliance is housed organizationally in the Office of General Counsel, alongside a team of collaborative and enthusiastic legal professionals. The Office values diversity and invites the Director to bring their full self to their work at UVU. OGC further believes that its team delivers best results from the foundation of a healthy work-life balance. We act as thought-partners and problem-solvers with university leaders to achieve maximum impact through UVU's strategic educational mission and objectives.
