About Us
We've been around the block a few times . . . 117 times to be exact.1902
Our story begins in November 1902 as Student Life, a twenty-page magazine dedicated to showing and expressing the interests of the Agricultural College of Utah.
The Student Life Staff had a lot of fun creating new and special editions of the magazine-turned newspaper. From commencement issues, to Student Lies editions, printing on blue paper and getting censored, they did it all.
1958
On February 7, the new studio of KVSC presented a series of semi–weekly live broadcasts on Tuesday and Thursday nights directed mostly to students, campus personnel and community members.
1978
Then came change in 1978. A full-time advisor was hired and student life turned into The Utah Statesman in an effort to sound more newspaper-y.
