In keeping with its goal to become an official student group, the University of Utah Pagan Society had to make one very specific change: Its name. The University of Utah Pagan Society is now the U of U Pagan Society. “We had all these ideas and visions, then we met reality. ASUU said that no group is an ‘official’ entity, like a department or college of the university, so we can’t call ourselves that. It’s all so that if we get in trouble with the law, the law can’t come back and say ‘Well you’re University Pagan Society was doing this…’ I think it’s safe, but also a little surprising
personally that they go to measurers like that to ensure their safety. Everyone will just have to be imaginative and believe ‘U of U’ stands for University of Utah. We can still get funding from them, we just can’t call ourselves after them. This also means we have freedom to do as we please. Perform ritual naked, drink wine, light candles and fires… all off camps of course!” Said President Cureton. What a very exciting time, many blessings and luck as you figure this all out UUPS

We are a new group at the University of Utah! We just finished the paperwork on October 3 2009 and are trying to get funding from ASUU. Planning is in the works. We hope to be a student group that encourages inclusive practice of all pagan paths. But who knows how it will turn out! We’ll let you know in the next few months what is happening.
Stay tuned!
