Schools in Utah reported that nearly 50 international students had their visas revoked or records terminated, with counts including 20 at University of Utah, 9 each at Utah Tech and Southern Utah, 5 at Weber State, 3 at Utah Valley, and 2 at Snow College while Utah State did not share its numbers.

On Wednesday, Westmore Elementary School in Orem partnered with Utah Valley University to offer free on-campus dental exams, X-rays, cleanings and sealants to nearly 60 students—many from low-income families—and help prevent dental pain and absences.
Westmore principal Vic Larsen said the program, which will continue twice a week, is designed to ensure students receive proper dental care and improve their ability to learn—an initiative showing strong community effort.
