The UVU delegation was honored to receive a tour of the United Nations Headquarters, made possible by former UIMF president Tony Medina. We obtained the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand behind the main podium in the hall’s rostrum.

The UIMF held a Spring Social on January 27, 2025, inviting UVU students to learn more about the club, what we do, and how we play an active role in our local community. We participated in putting together baby kits for Tabitha’s Way with Cherise and Kathy from the Rotary Club.

The Utah International Mountain Forum, in collaboration with the Center for Social Impact at UVU, provided the supplies to make birthday kits for Tabitha’s Way, a local food pantry in Utah. The UIMF club bought enough supplies to make 12 birthday kits for children.
