Excellence, Innovation, & Engagement
Supporting Quality Nursing Education
Compassionate. Empathetic. Selfless. These values can certainly be found as part of what many observe to be “The Spirit of Snow” at Snow College. You can see it in the faculty and staff who assist and direct students to be successful, and you can see it in the qualities they pass on to students in the nursing program. This strong faculty and staff commitment, combined with federal funding and donor support for cutting-edge equipment and facilities, has made Snow College’s nursing program a great training ground for students planning for careers in health care. The program continues to explore ways to expand and improve, in order to provide even more services to area students.
Critical Lab Space Increased with Generous Donations This environment would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the late David Sorensen and his wife, Verla (’53), who are among the College’s largest donors. Funding from the Sorensens, along with a $600,000 congressionally directed grant, was used renovate the nursing lab on the Snow College Richfield campus, effectively doubling the square footage of available training area. The renovation added additional patient-care beds, provided more room for mannequins, and allowed for the installation of a model nurses’ desk station that simulates the actual station students will encounter in hospitals and other care facilities. In addition, a multimedia instruction room has been created that includes a large television screen and small-group space. Students may be instructed using audiovisual presentations that were previously difficult to show because of limited space and equipment.
New Home Created for Human Simulator Perhaps the most significant impact of the additional space was the creation of “a real home” for the program’s high fidelity simulator. This “super mannequin,” valued at $75,000, is electronically enhanced with sensors and recording devices and lays face-up in a hospital bed, in a room separated by observation glass, where a nursing supervisor may simulate any number of symptoms and observe a student’s performance in assisting the virtual patient. Cameras in the room, along with the mannequin’s recording equipment, visually and audibly document every interaction between the student and the mannequin. The entire experience is saved for later review, enabling the faculty member to give highly accurate, constructive feedback on how well the student cared for the patient.
Student Marketability Is Key The Allied Health Department takes student readiness for the job market very seriously. It is constantly monitoring the number of students who graduate each year and are able to pass their state and national exams. Of equal importance is the number of students who locate employment at the level and time commitment they seek. Faculty members in Allied Health are committed to producing the best nurses in the state. According to Dean Brereton, associate professor of nursing, “What we try to do is make our students more marketable by giving them the skills that our local employers are seeking in their job candidates. We conduct most of our clinical rotations and practicums here locally, where the emphasis is rural nursing, while at the same time visiting the larger, urban areas as well so that students may see the contrast in patient need based on location.” 3
SNOW COLLEGE
In the larger, urban areas, Brereton observes, students may witness only one specialty of nursing in the facility they visit, such as orthopedic care. In contrast, working in a rural setting affords students additional opportunities to explore obstetrics, pediatrics, and many other nursing specialties, broadening their skill set for the workplace. The department hopes to create additional certification opportunities for students, once they graduate, where they may certify in pediatric, neonatal, and adult advanced cardiac care, credentials that make Snow College nursing graduates even more marketable.
Impact of Donated Funds on Students The funds donated by the Sorensen family and other sources, along with the efforts of caring, professional faculty, have contributed greatly to student success. Rebecca Chappell, a 2003 LPN graduate who is now a Snow College nursing instructor, said that “Snow College is one of the best programs in the state. Having
the program available in Central Utah helps students ALUMNI NEWSLETTER - SPRING 2014 stay in the area and complete their education. We have well-trained nurses who can live and work in the local area.” Jed Christensen, a 2014 graduate, stated that “The resources available to students in the program are outstanding. We are as prepared, or better prepared, than other nurses coming out of bigger universities.” According to Brereton, the importance of philanthropic support cannot be overstated. “We would never have been able to expand and do what we do without outside sources of funds, for which we are very grateful.” Donations have had a tremendous impact on the success of the nursing program, and the need for additional support continues. Everyone can make a difference! For more information, please contact the Snow College Advancement Office at (435) 283-7061, or visit our website at www.snow.edu/giving.
Profile in Giving David E. Sorensen (1933-2014) He married Verla Anderson, a graduate of Snow College, in 1958. David and Verla have seven children, 35 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. David served a mission for the LDS Church to the Central Atlantic States Mission from 1954 to 1956. He was drafted upon his return into the U.S. Army, and after two years studied business at Brigham Young University, Utah State University, and the University of Utah. He put that training to work establishing or operating a number of successful enterprises.
David E. Sorensen
D
avid E. Sorensen, beloved father, grandfather, businessman, church leader, and rancher, passed away at his home in San Juan Capistrano, California, on August 26, 2014. He was born in Aurora, Utah, in 1933, the seventh of eight children of Alma and Metta Amelia Helquist Sorensen. 4
His service as General Authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began with a call to the Second Quorum of the Seventy in 1992. He was sustained to the First Quorum in 1995 and to the Presidency of the Seventy in 1998, where he served as executive director of the Temple Department until being named an emeritus General Authority in 2005. Subsequently, he served as president of the San Diego California Temple. Prior to his call as a General Authority, he served in many
other church positions, including bishop, stake president, and president of the Canada Halifax Mission. David and Verla are among Snow College’s most generous donors. When space in the Washburn Building on the Richfield campus was needed to accommodate the needs of its nursing and science lab students, the Sorensens were there to extend their generosity. A new, state-of-the-art laboratory was created in space previously used by another program, allowing science and nursing students to remain in Richfield for their science lab, rather than having to travel one hour to the Ephraim campus. The Sorensens have also made it possible for the Richfield campus to hire general education teachers in math, English, and science. The Snow College community will be forever grateful to David and Verla Sorensen for their commitment and support.

Homecoming 2014 Homecoming weekend at Snow College brings together Badgers of all ages, along with community members, future Badgers, and others, who enjoy a great time on the Ephraim campus. This year’s events took place on September 26-27, beginning with the annual Golden Badgers dinner reunion on Friday night. For these alumni, who attended Snow College at least 50 years ago, the reunion gave them an opportunity to connect with former classmates and share their memories. A concert presented by Snow College’s jazz bands concluded the evening. Snow College’s 2014 Distinguished Alumni, James Tatton and Frank
Weaver, were surrounded by family and friends at a special breakfast early Saturday morning. They were each given a special tribute highlighting their accomplishments and contributions to Snow College. The annual Homecoming parade rolled down Main Street with entries from Snow College clubs, local businesses and organizations, the Snow College Alumni Association and others. This year’s alumni float included Badgers from seven decades! The Distinguished Alumni participated in the parade, as well.
the clouds kept coming during the football game. The inevitable thunderstorm put a stop to the game five minutes early, as a lightning strike hit just a half-mile away from Badger Stadium, sending the crowd running for cover.

Service and Scholarship
ALUMNI NEWSLETTER - SPRING 2014
The Ephraim Lions Club Supports Snow College and the Community
The 2014 convention for Utah Lions District 28T was held at Snow College in November.
It’s All About Service If you look carefully, you’ll find them. Whether they’re spreading candy over baseball fields for the anticipated arrival of sweet-seeking Easter Egg Hunt enthusiasts, cooking breakfast for Scandinavian Days supporters, or spreading Christmas cheer with candy canes for local elementary school children, you’ll find members of the Ephraim Lions Club. If you ask them why they do it, they can sum it all up with two words—“We serve.” It all started in September 1924, when the Ephraim Lions Club, a local club belonging to Lions Clubs International, was organized in Ephraim. According to its website, Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization, with more than 1.35 million members and 46,000 clubs. Sponsoring playground equipment and planting lawns for local schools, coordinating city beautification projects, building covered picnic areas, and raising scholarship funds for Snow College students are just a few of ways that loyal Lions improve the area where they live. 6
Baseball Scholarship Tournament: A 70-Year Tradition “The Ephraim Lions Club makes a tremendous difference in our local community and at Snow College,” said Rosie Connor, executive director of the Snow College Foundation. “Each year, they help students realize their educational dream through their generous scholarship contributions. They are part of a special group of donors who truly make a difference at Snow College.” Every summer for the past 70 years, the Ephraim Lions Club has carried on a special tradition, forming a strong bond of community support with Snow College. At the beginning of the baseball season in the late spring, the club invites teams from all of Sanpete County to sign up for the annual Ephraim Lions Club Scholarship Baseball Tournament. As part of getting ready for the tournament, local businesses are encouraged to participate by donating funds or prizes to the cause, and invitation letters are
sent to all recreation directors within the county. Local club member Bart Nelson, longtime resident of Ephraim and retired Snow College math professor, uses his love of baseball and flair for math to organize the tournament brackets for each day of the four-day tournament, which many times involves up to 90 teams. Each year, the tournament utilizes $8,000 to $10,000 in raised funds and a small army of volunteers donating hundreds of hours of work over four days. During this time, many hands are busy in the summer heat, umpiring games, cooking special “Lion” burgers, making sno-cones and cotton candy, manning four ticket gates and two food stations, and keeping meticulous records of funds into the late hours of the night, all with one goal in mind—to raise scholarship funds for local high school students who wish to attend Snow College. As a result of this combined effort, 70 successful tournaments have been held since 1944, raising tens of thousands of dollars in scholarship funds over the years.

For 70 years, local teams have participated in the Lions Club Baseball Tournament, which provides scholarship support for students attending Snow College.
Snow College Talent Quest: A New Scholarship Opportunity Newly elected Lions Club District Governor Craig Rasmussen saw another opportunity to join Ephraim Lions Club support with Snow College when planning the district convention for this year. The district convention for Utah Lions District 28T, which includes 32 active clubs from Pleasant Grove in the north to St. George in the south, was hosted by the Mayfield club at Snow College on November 14-15, 2014. In the months prior to the convention, the district clubs were invited to work with local high schools and their music programs to select candidates for the Snow College Talent Quest, a musical competition for high school seniors. Once winners from each high school were selected, they presented their talents in the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, where a panel of judges selected the finalists. Members of the judging panel included Snow College music students, faculty, and staff.
The seven performances included classical viola and piano pieces, vocal solos, and an original composition on an electric bass. The Lions had originally planned to award three scholarships at the end of the competition, but thanks to the generosity of the Utah Lions clubs, all seven contestants left with scholarships to Snow College for fall semester of 2015.
Forged over decades of dedication and service, the bond of community support between Snow College and the Ephraim Lions Club remains tried and true, where aspiring college students always hit a “home run” in the search for scholarships, and the quest for talented future Badgers always turns out a winner.
Talent Quest Winners (from left to right): Rachel Johnson – Gunnison Valley High School, Lizzy Platt – Bryce Valley High School, Lauren Smith – Panguitch High School, Kennedy Hunter – Bonneville High School, Sheridan Seyfried – American Heritage High School, Isaac Ramirez – Pleasant Grove High School, Trent Duke – Monticello High School.

It All Adds Up
I Learn Math Program + Grant Funding = Student Success For some college students, fulfilling mathematics requirements can be a struggle. Not only do they have difficulties grasping math concepts, but they may also question if and how they will ever use what they have learned. Snow College faculty are addressing these concerns through a new program that helps students progress through their math courses while gaining a greater understanding of everyday math applications. A recent grant award provides support to expand and enhance the program. In response to a growing need to help students progress through their math courses, especially developmental courses, faculty developed a new math experience using “ILearnMath” software from a private company. According to Dr. Kari Arnoldsen, professor of mathematics, the purpose of the program has been to develop better ways to learn math, instead of using traditional teaching strategies, such as lecture, that do not work for all students. Through this self-paced 8
system, students can advance at their own levels and move on when they understand the concepts.
their projects into this database so that other faculty, both at Snow College and elsewhere, can replicate the projects.
“I Learn Math,” now in its third year, has expanded to include two additional elements, which are supported in part by an $18,000 completion grant from the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE). First, the grant supports development and expansion of a “project day” database, and second, it aids with development of a math course for students in non-STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) majors that enables completion of both developmental and college-level math in one year.
Two sections of the non-STEM course started in Fall 2014. During the summer, math faculty worked with advisors, asking them to find 60 students who considered themselves non-STEM. Students are responding positively to the class, commenting that they “have never had a math class that made so much sense,” “that applied to other things [they] are doing outside of class,” and “that is not just made-up dumb story problems.” David Sobecki and Brian Mercer, the two authors of the book used in the class, came to Snow College and provided training to math faculty.
Project days, which are held once a week, bring students together for a project related to everyday math applications, study skills, or areas that require extra assistance. Faculty members develop their own projects. As part of the grant, math faculty have dedicated a percentage of their time to creating a database and inputting
The USHE Completion Grants are one-time awards supporting pilot projects that have been developed by institutions of higher education, with each project focusing on a strategy proven to improve college completion. Each of Utah’s public colleges and universities received a grant.
