It took two decades for Utah Valley University to evolve from a small community college into the state’s largest school, boasting of having one of the safest campuses in the nation. It took only seconds for that image to be shattered by the assassination of right wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Tens of thousands of Charlie Kirk's supporters will join with top Republican political leaders on Sunday for the funeral of the right-wing activist, less than two weeks after he was killed.

The memorial will feature a who’s who of US leaders and conservative pundits paying tribute to the slain activist, who was a close ally of the president.
