To this end, the college has increased the number of degrees offered, and improved the quality and number of its faculty members, particularly in the natural sciences. The school mascot is the Wolverine . The athletic program recently moved directly from junior college to Division I status. Most teams compete as independents, and the school is currently attempting to gain a conference affiliation, something that has been made increasingly difficult by the lack of a football program. The most likely candidate appears to be the Mid-Continent Conference , which does not sponsor football and includes fellow Utah school Southern Utah University . The student produced newspaper is ''The College Times''. EXTERNAL LINKS
