❓A century from now, what jobs or industries do you think people will look back on?

WOW. The Rec Center was packed for BYU Night, and we had so much fun being a part of it! Council Chair Katrice MacKay and staff talked with lots of incoming freshmen about what they love about Provo and what they would like to see changed.

We loved getting to talk face-to-face with students, and we’re looking forward to future events (including a BYU Town Hall on November 5th - details soon 👀)

Students are a huge part of the Provo community, and we want to hear from you! Keep reaching out at [email protected].

What does it actually look like to serve on the Provo City Council?
