The Search for a New President By Marci Larsen When President Bradley J. Cook announced his plans to leave Snow College, Stacee Yardley McIff was asked to serve as Interim President. She led the college in that capacity from July 2022, until the exciting announcement of her permanent appointment was made on April 14, 2023. Those nine months were busy for President McIff, for the college, and especially for those involved with the presidential search process. The 13-member search committee — comprised of local leaders, state board members, and representatives from faculty, staff, and students — began their responsibilities by soliciting input from stakeholders and creating a position announcement. In an effort to receive feedback from faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the community, a website full of information was created. In January 2023, the search committee hosted five well-attended public meetings. Committee members recruited qualified applicants from across the country, reviewed over 40 application packets, and interviewed the most qualified candidates. In March, the

committee recommended the top three finalists to the Utah Board of Higher Education. Once the three finalists were announced, they were invited to campus to meet individually with key institutional stakeholders and have a final meeting with members of the state board. After completing eight hours of interviews over a two-day period, Stacee Yardley McIff was named the 18th president of Snow College in a unanimous vote by the state board. Upon hearing this news, audience members who had gathered in the Eccles Center showed their excitement by offering a standing ovation as President McIff and her family were presented to the group. This complex process delicately balanced the necessary components of confidentiality and transparency, and the Snow College community could not be more pleased with the outcome!

Dear Alumni:

For many years now I have said that we have the very best students – and therefore the best alumni! – in the world. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your stories. We are serious about connecting with you and finding ways for you to get involved again at Snow, so we have invested in a new infrastructure that makes connecting easier than ever before. With longtime athletic director Rob Nielson as Vice President for External Affairs, Cameron Brooks as Executive Director of Advancement & Government Relations, and Angela Sanders as Alumni Relations Officer, we now stand even more ready to serve our alumni. You can be confident that your alma mater is continuing to build on the success of its history, which you helped create. You won’t be surprised to know that we still provide students with the high quality education in a caring, friendly, personalized atmosphere. Here are just a few highlights: • • •

• • •

being recognized as the safest campus in Utah exceeding national student success averages ranking high in national and regional athletic standings, including new men’s and women’s wrestling teams on our Richfield campus and the winningest college football program in all of Utah over the last five years competing with (and beating!) four-year schools in national academic competitions serving as the degree-granting and technical college for central Utah and offering job-ready certificate programs as well as transfer-ready degrees offering the lowest tuition rates in Utah for both degree-granting and technical programs

Trusting us with your students and recommending Snow College to your neighbors and friends is the very best way that you can help us. I hope you will share your Snow College story with others, including us. Over the next several months, watch for new ways to engage as alumni. We want to hear from you and want to see you back on campus. You are family! Once a Badger, always a Badger!

Snow College administration, faculty, and students visit with lawmakers during the 2023 legislative session.

Snow Day on the Hill E

H L L

By Marci Larsen and Shannon Allred The 2023 Utah Legislative session was an exciting time for Snow College. On February 9th, administration, faculty, staff, and students gathered in the Capitol Rotunda in Salt Lake City for our first ever “Snow Day on the Hill.” Each of the five academic divisions, along with the athletic department and the GRIT Center, created displays to highlight the unique opportunities available to Snow College students. Donning badger blue and orange t-shirts, students mingled with legislators, state leaders, and other local political influencers to share how they have benefited during their time at Snow College. Students spoke about graduating debt-free, gaining invaluable work experience, and—with the support of caring faculty and staff— developing a plan for their future. This message created positive energy throughout the Rotunda and encouraged those in attendance to share their own families’ Snow College stories with great affection.

S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E | 2 0 2 3

With the help of Senator Derrin Owens, Representative Carl Albrecht, and Representative Steve Lund, Snow College was introduced on the Senate and House floors and given the chance to present to the Majority and Minority Caucuses. Each legislator also received a Snow College Badger plush and a handout summarizing our priorities for the session. The goal for Snow Day on the Hill was to tell the story of Snow College, strengthen relationships with stakeholders, and provide state leaders with the information they need to help move the school forward. Our students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and partners expertly told that story and came together to make a memorable impression. Those in attendance felt the support of our state legislators for the unique and important role Snow College plays in Utah higher education. The school is receiving an unprecedented amount of positive attention, and this momentum will help us to serve additional students and continue our focus on high standards of student success.

Celebrating this new resource, InterimEDUCATION Vice President for & TRAINING Technical Education Jay Olsen said, “The Snowmobile will 6

increase Snow College’s ability to meet people where they are at in their life’s activities and open opportunities to increase their technical skills and improve their careers.” Transportation and technology barriers often limit the ability of students and adults in rural areas to be aware of career and training opportunities. The Snowmobile aims to eliminate these barriers by bringing education and awareness of resources to these communities. It will travel to six-county schools and community events, offering exploration activities that increase awareness of technical pathways and careers. Mark Anderson, CTE Director for the Juab, North Sanpete and South Sanpete areas commented, “By Snow College having a mobile training lab and designated faculty ready to use it, students across the Central region will have opportunities that other students in the more urban areas have.

o ensure that future students will continue to say their own “great story” began at Snow College, the institution’s Board of Trustees charged employees to better target specific student success outcomes. Trustees met several times to ref lect on the value proposition of Snow College and then used those ideas to build a new Aspirational Statement: Students graduate debt-free, gain work experience, and develop a plan for the future. Those who find Snow College will find themselves.

“It can be helpful to think of an aspirational statement as a guidepost or vision statement towards which the group can plan, gather feedback, educate, and coordinate change,” said President Stacee McIff when sharing it with employees. College employees were tapped to work on subcommittees to develop the three goals in the statement. To achieve debt-free college, the subcommittee is focusing on helping students complete financial aid applications. “With many of our students qualifying for large amounts of aid, we want to help them be smart when they accept those funds and know which ones they

need to pay back. They do not need to accept everything they are given,” said co-chair Carson Howell, Vice President for Finance and Administrative services. Student work experience will be defined in several ways. “It is an opportunity to connect education back to resume-worthy experiences,” said co-chair Jay Olsen, Vice President for Tech Ed and Workforce Development. Faculty and advisors will help students recognize and articulate the experience and skills they

gain in the classroom, internships, employment, student leadership, and more. Cody Branch, Vice President of Student Affairs, said his team is working collaboratively to identify service gaps and build institutional supports to ensure every student has the opportunity to develop their plan for the future. “The aspirational statement is really about taking what we do well and adapting it for successful student outcomes,” said President McIff.

In addition to the EDA grant, Utah Senator Derrin Owens was instrumental in acquiring $1.5 million from the 2023 Utah legislative session. Additional donors came forward with another $600,000 donation to assist in the first phase of construction. The total funds needed to complete the project are approximately $9 million; Snow is halfway there!

Due to the efforts of Snow’s Economic Development Team, Small Business Development Center, and faculty, Snow College was selected to receive a $2.4 million grant in August of 2022 from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) of the United States Department of Commerce. This is a highly competitive, nationwide grant that deemed the Innovative Agricultural Center the project of the year.

Currently, Snow College offers degrees and certificates in agriculture business, innovative livestock management, precision agriculture and technology, and equine management. The new facility will allow the expansion of certificates and degrees in veterinarian technology, equine therapy, and equine-assisted therapy. Snow’s new Innovative Agricultural Center will be a considerable asset and strength for both the agriculture programs within our school and for the wider agricultural community.

2013-14

In 2013, Kendra Bagley restarted the Snow College Rodeo Team, which had been absent from campus since the mid-1980’s. She had an immediate response from students thrilled to rodeo at the collegiate level. With hard work, a grand vision, and collaboration, this initial effort turned into a well-diversified course of study attracting students who are invested in agriculture. The increased interest created a stronger desire for a facility that would meet the needs of Snow College agriculture students and rodeo athletes and their equines.

The Innovative Agricultural Center will be located at 450 North 200 East in Ephraim. The design process for Phase I is well underway, with a projected completion date set for fall 2024. The building will include an indoor rodeo arena f lanked by two classroom wings. Snow is excited about the possibilities the funding will offer our local community as the project will bring high-paying construction work to Sanpete County.

Not Our First RODEO By Tyra Taylor Everyone hold onto your hats, the show is about to begin! Find your seats as the smell of dirt hangs in the air and excitement courses through spectators and competitors alike. The Snow College rodeo is a riveting event where fans can see students at work competing for their spot in the National Collegiate Finals rodeo held every year.

Kenley Andrus & Leonard

Head Coach Kendra Bagley brought back the Snow College Rodeo team in 2013. As soon as the sport was established, 26 athletes enrolled immediately. Since that first season 20-30 athletes have participated consistently each year. Snow College’s rodeo team participates in the Rocky Mountain Region’s College Rodeo Circuit, which consists

8th Place at the Texas National Reined cow Horse Association Invitational of 10 rodeos each season. Snow hosts its rodeo in the spring and had record attendance this year, with students and families watching many different schools compete in a variety of events. Snow’s Rodeo team also participated in the National Reined Cow Horse Association Invitational against universities and colleges in the state of Texas. Snow came away nationally ranked in eighth place and several athletes individually placed in the top 10 this past season. No small feat for our top junior college! Everyone is anxious to watch in the spring when Snow hosts this event again.

Snow College prides itself on its ability to prepare and produce students to be successful at the four-year college level and beyond. This has especially been evident with the student-athletes Snow College has sent on to four-year schools over the past few years. Snow College is home to nine NJCAA-sanctioned sports which have sent over 70 student-athlete graduates to universities, including six schools in Utah, over the previous five athletic seasons. The Badger footprint is not limited to the Beehive State, though, as it extends nationwide. Fifty-five schools in 27 different states across the country have been the destinations for these 70-plus Snow College graduates. Prominent schools — ranging as far west as the University of Hawai'i in Honolulu and as far east as Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Massachusetts — have benefitted from Badger athlete-scholars.

Athletic Hall of Fame INDUCTEE 2022

KEITH UPERESA By Drayson Ball Keith Uperesa was the Snow College Athletic Department’s 2022 Hall of Fame Inductee. Uperesa was a member of the football staff at Snow College from 1987 to 1999 including 12 seasons as an offensive line coach and special teams coordinator and five seasons as the head coach. Uperesa, a native of Honolulu, Hawai'i, is an alumnus of Punahou High School where he graduated in 1974. Following graduation, Uperesa played football for Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah before signing with the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League in 1978. Uperesa then spent the next three seasons as a member of the Denver Broncos.

As the head coach at Snow College, Uperesa led his team to a 35-8 overall record including four bowl victories in consecutive seasons. His teams were also ranked in the top 10 during those same four seasons.

Following his NFL career, Uperesa returned to BYU where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1984 and a master's degree in 1986. Uperesa also rejoined the BYU football team and helped them secure an appearance in the Citrus Bowl in 1985 and the Freedom Bowl in 1986. Uperesa was the offensive line coach for the 2001 University of Southern California (USC) team that won the Las Vegas Bowl. He also was the tackles/tight end coach and helped the Trojans win the Orange Bowl in 2003. Following his time at USC, Uperesa was the offensive line/tight ends coach under Urban Meyer during the University of Utah’s undefeated 2004 season before being hired as the offensive line coach at the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2005 where he coached six All-Conference offensive line selections. He was hired as the running backs coach at the University of Hawai’i (UH) in 2012 following two seasons at Nicholls State University. Uperesa also served as the Director of Player Personnel at UH before joining the coaching staff as the offensive line coach at Eastern Illinois in 2017. Uperesa reflects fondly on his time with Snow College and makes it a priority to remember the athletes he coached and is grateful to have earned their respect as a leader, a coach, and a friend.

UB (in Sanpete County High Schools) provides academic and social support to participants in their high school performance and college preparation. The goal is to increase secondary education completion and postsecondary enrollment rates. UB provides academic instruction, tutoring, assistance in secondary and postsecondary school course selection, college entrance exam preparation and admission guidance, assistance with financial aid, economic literacy counseling, and exposure to cultural events. Snow’s UB program also hosts an on-campus summer residential program where students become acquainted with college life, earn college credit, and gain confidence in their ability to succeed in college.

Snow College’s Federal TRIO programs, Upward Bound (UB) and Student Support Services (SSS), continue to make a difference in the lives of high school and college-aged students. The UB program was created under the authority of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. One year later, Talent Search was created. The TRIO name came when the Higher Education Act of 1965 was amended in 1968 to include Student Support Services. These TRIO programs serve firstgeneration and low-income populations. SSS offers academic opportunities and services to program participants to increase college retention and graduation rates. The goal of SSS is to motivate and support students throughout their higher education experience. SSS provides tutoring, personalized academic/career advising,

TRIO students continually prove to be very successful students. They are an inspiration to their families, friends, and communities and are paving the way for many generations to come!

“The people I met in my first two years of college helped me know the importance that caring, devoted people have on higher education journeys. Without them, I would have never considered a career in higher education.” Greg Dart, President of Western Nebraska Community College '02 For Karame Laajane (’21), it was a college fair in Tangier, Morocco that sealed his journey to Snow College. It was there that he met Wissim Abid, former director of the Center for Global Engagement. “Little did I know that Snow College would shape me into the individual I am today,” he said. Using his Snow College experience to obtain a full scholarship to the University of Kansas, Laajane begins a prestigious internship this summer as a data analyst with Arvest Bank. Laajane first gained an interest and experience with data analysis as a Snow College Global Studies Earn & Learn Intern in the spring of 2021.

Huntsman Library would be one of 50 U.S. libraries and the only Utah library location to be selected to host the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition. “We are honored to be selected to host this important and powerful exhibition,” said Ostler.

Imagine being able to visit a Washington D.C. museum in the heart of Ephraim, Utah. This is exactly what library staff envisioned when they heard of a grant opportunity in 2019 to have a traveling exhibition come to the Karen H. Huntsman Library. “It’s just not possible for everyone to visit the amazing and reflective museums available in Washington D.C., so, we are always looking for opportunities to bring the experiences here,” said Jon Ostler, Library Director.

Planning for the exhibition started with great enthusiasm, but COVID delayed the original March 2021 date. “Our spirits were somewhat deflated, but the change didn’t deflect our enthusiasm to continue planning for the exhibit to arrive in September 2023," stated Ostler.

Taking a step into the Darkness: Lieutenant Governor Henderson's Educational Journey By Shannon Allred Like thousands of Utahns, Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson’s college career did not go quite as planned. Growing up in Minnesota, Lt. Gov. Henderson’s dream was to study political science at Brigham Young University (BYU). That dream was realized when she was 18 and was accepted into BYU. Henderson’s initial goal was to complete her degree and serve a mission for her church before getting married. That all changed on the first day of her second semester when she met Gabe Henderson in her French class. The two quickly fell in love and were married that summer. Henderson then put her educational dream on hold and dropped out of school, taking on two jobs to support themselves while her husband continued his education to become a physical therapist. Over the next ten years, the couple became a family of seven. Henderson says she spent those days wiping—wiping counters, wiping noses, and wiping bottoms became her life. While she cherishes the time she spent raising her family, she started to feel as if she was losing a part of herself. Henderson made several attempts at returning to the classroom, but the timing was never quite right. Tight finances and the busyness that comes with raising five children always seemed to derail her efforts. Still, Henderson felt she needed something to challenge her mind and help her remember who she was before she was “mom.” Her interest in political science and desire to be a part of something bigger led her to volunteer for Jason Chaffetz’s congressional campaign. Chaffetz quickly recognized Henderson’s passion and talent, and she became his political director. After working in that capacity for four years, Henderson made a successful run for a seat in the Utah State Senate in 2012. Despite her growing success in the political arena, Henderson had a gnawing feeling of inadequacy. When she began her service in the state senate, there was much discussion surrounding the problem of women starting degrees, but never finishing them. Henderson tried to avoid discussing her own formal education and felt that she had to hide the fact that she did not have a bachelor’s degree.

Then Henderson had an experience that changed her perspective. After completing two years in the senate, Henderson once again enrolled at BYU. Her political science professor told the students that there was an exciting opportunity to earn college credit by serving as an intern for members of the Utah State Senate. As the professor went over the necessary qualifications, Henderson was stunned to learn that she did not qualify for the internship. She could serve in the Senate, but according to the rules, she was not qualified to be her own intern. Henderson said, “That was a pivotal moment for me. I realized I’m not the only person that has had to put her own goals and opportunities and desires on the back burner to support family needs. I’m not alone. I decided in that moment to start being really open and honest about my experience. I thought maybe it could help other people know that they are not alone either.” As Henderson continued her service in the senate, she stopped hiding her educational background and began advocating for opportunities for both women and men to complete their degrees. She hoped that by speaking up about her story, she could bring awareness to the barriers many face. Financial challenges, work pressures, and family responsibilities are very real concerns that keep many from finishing or returning to school. Henderson emphasized that despite these challenges, she hopes Utahns will make getting their education a priority. She said, “There are lots of different ways to go about getting an education. Getting a degree or certificate is important, and it benefits generations—not just you. That knowledge, experience, and expectation is something that can’t be overstated or overvalued.” Through the process of returning to school, Henderson had some realizations. First, even though, as she notes, “I was old enough to be the other students’ mom,” she learned that she had a unique perspective: “I found myself a much better student as a more experienced adult. I did better in my classes—everything was so much more relevant to me because of my life experience. I really, truly enjoyed all my classes.” As she continued her courses and gained confidence in her abilities as a student, Henderson had another realization. She not only enjoyed her classes, but she also felt a sense of belonging and had a lot to offer the other students. When asked what advice she would give others considering a return to the classroom, she said, “Not only can you do it, but you have a lot to offer to the people you will interact with in your classes. The breadth of experience that older students bring to classroom discussions is invaluable.”

2 0 2 3 | S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E

Returning to school was not easy, but Henderson was determined. She persevered through legislative sessions, the pandemic, campaigning, and taking on new responsibilities as Lieutenant Governor. Her persistence paid off, and in 2022 she graduated from BYU with a bachelor’s degree in history. She walked the same day as her son, who also graduated from BYU with a bachelor’s degree. Henderson jokes, “It took him three years and it took me 29 years, but we both did it!” As Henderson encourages Utahns to return to the classroom, she also wants to remove the stigma surrounding adult learners, saying, “I want to help people be comfortable with their own life path. There’s not one prescribed path. There are various reasons to do things in various ways, and there is no shame in that. We just want to make sure that people have the opportunity to do things when it’s right for them—we don’t want to have arbitrary barriers in place.”

We asked Lt. Gov. Henderson if she had any advice for adults considering a return to the classroom. She said, “It’s hard to take those steps, but believe in yourself and trust that you’ve got a network that can back you up— Snow College wants to provide that backup support and encouragement. Believing in that and taking that first step into the darkness is the hardest thing to do. But that first step is also the most important thing you can do.” If you are ready to take that first step, Snow College has worked to remove the barriers many adult learners face. With our low-cost tuition, flexible online classes, free tutoring, and professors who care about your success, we are here to support you every step of the way. For more information, please contact our admissions team at 800-848-3399.

Finish What You Started: An Invitation By David Allred While Snow College is known for its highquality face-to-face education, it also offers strong online programs that are perfect for adults wanting to finish their education. In fact, the two go hand-in-hand—the same faculty who teach students face-to-face on campus also teach students online. Consequently, students at a distance get the same skilled and caring instruction as on-campus students. If you started your college education but didn’t finish, you are not alone. Utah has one of the highest rates of adults with some college credits but no degree. At Snow, we understand that life happens. Financial, health, family, or other needs delay educational pursuits, however, these challenges don’t need to derail them. Snow College has different online programs to fit a variety of needs for both traditional and non-traditional students. Students who would like to finish an associate degree and work on

classes using a semester schedule can choose from over 130 online courses. Other students may want to return to school to earn a more specific and short-term credential. Snow offers a variety of technical education certificates in areas such as human services, automotive technology, medical assisting, and many others. Some of these certificates can be earned through online courses; others involve a mixture of online learning and campus visits to demonstrate learning and pass off skills. Finally, Snow College is expanding its offerings to include competency-based education (CBE) courses, which are perfect for non-traditional learners who have work and life experience. In CBE courses, students can accelerate through a semester, quickly pass off existing skills, and use the class to learn and build new skills. In short, we invite you to allow Snow College to be your partner as you finish what you started!

medical assisting One of the newest programs at Snow College is medical assisting, which prepares students for entry-level work with medical providers. In turn, the following on-the-job training positions people for additional opportunities in a high-demand sector of the economy. Medical assistant students take coursework using competency-based education (CBE) with much of the work being completed online. This allows students to complete the program from home and with the possibility of accelerating their progress in this three-semester program.

online certificate in digital marketing Another way Snow College is meeting the needs of Utah’s economy is the certificate in digital marketing. The internet has driven countless innovations and the creation of whole new industries, and digital marketing is one of those. Representing a crucial part of any marketing plan, the future is bright for those skilled in this area. Students can take 20 credits of classes over the course of nine months to earn this credential. Highly connected to realworld applications, the digital marketing certificate is an exciting opportunity for people upskilling or retraining for a variety of career paths.

online and CBE associate degrees Transfer associate degrees have been the staple of Snow College graduations for many years. What is new in this area is that students can complete them from afar using online and CBE classes. For several years, students have been able to earn an AS in General Studies completely online. However, the college has worked hard to develop additional online degrees in areas like education, mathematics, humanities, communication, behavioral sciences, and many more. Learn from excellent faculty members who care both about student success and online education, and prepare for a four-year degree using the solid foundation that Snow College offers.

Pathways to success: Internships lead to better outcomes By Lisa Laird Each year many current Badgers complete internships tied to their majors or career goals. For many it is also an opportunity to earn a good wage while gaining hands-on training which matches their classroom studies. Intern McKinley Nichols (Psychology, ’23) said, “I learned more about myself, the things I feel passionately about, and it allowed me to use skills I have been taught at Snow College in the real world.” Nichols worked with UC3 to research daycare options that led to the creation of onsite or “near site” preschools and daycares for Salt Lake City area employers. Since summer 2020, Hope Corps, a nonprofit coordinator, matches three to ten Snow College interns each semester with one of several private businesses to research and implement programs or policies that help their employees with work/life balance. With more than 8,000 paid internships posted each year on Badger Handshake, the Snow College student employment job board, there are many opportunities for students.

Sienna Jones (‘20), former intern with Natural Resource Conservation Service – “I took a GIS Navigation class at Snow College, which has proven to be useful for my internship because I use maps and UTM coordinate systems frequently. Even though the application process for my job required many hours of my time and effort, it was worth it!”

internships. Because more than 70 percent of our students come from low-income backgrounds, internships will give them experience in their majors and an income while attending Snow College.” To list your jobs or paid internships on Badger Handshake, please scan the QR code.

Camila Cardinali (’23), former Hope Corps intern assigned to Snow College’s Small Business Development Center – “I have met and heard so many astonishing ideas and stories from different people that opened my eyes in a way I never expected when I first got the internship. I got to learn about hard work, being persistent, ambition, and how to grow and be a better person.”

"My time at Walt Disney World was amazing! It was very fast paced, but I loved that! I wouldn't have been anywhere close to this internship or degree if it wasn't for my professors at Snow who helped me. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities that are offered to students at Snow and the professors that are there to help each student individually! I am grateful for the small class sizes so you can truly get that 1-on-1 experience that you don't get anywhere else. Go Badgers!"

Snow Skates! By Emily Ross

After a 30-year absence, roller skating has returned to Snow College. In the mid-80s to early 90s, roller skating was a popular activity for Snow College students as well as community members. Every Monday and Friday night, the blue gym at the Activity Center was transformed into a rollerskating rink. Racks of skates were kept in the storeroom on the north side of the gym and participants were invited to cruise around the orange-colored, slightly rubberized wood floor. Skaters could buy a pass and bring their own skates, or rent some for an additional $0.75. Games such as tag, conga lines, and Snap the Whip were popular among skaters. Current Snow College employee Chris Adams and his siblings were regulars at the skating rink. He remembers getting floor burns on his elbows and knees from doing tricks and attempting to jump over friends and chairs. Sandi Adams Larsen remembers going to the skating rink once a week for years, racing from the north side to the south side of the gym. She reports that it was the happening thing to do on a Friday

night. In the final few years of operation, the rink switched over to rollerblades, and Kenny Adams remembers taking his own to the gym to skate as a child. In the early 90s, liability became an issue and Snow College sports grew. The blue gym skating rink was closed to give the school the much-needed space to expand athletics programs. In 2022, Rob Nielson, Vice President of External Affairs and Student Body President Jackson Rowley decided to bring roller skating back to Snow College. The school purchased 300 retro-style roller skates and once a week the Greenwood Student Center commons became the new Snow College roller skating rink. Students signed liability waivers and were given 30-minute time slots to skate, with 50-60 skaters allowed on the floor at a time. It has been a huge success with as many as 400 students showing up in one night. Sophomore Erica Murdock said, “It was just so much fun to take a break from studying and go laugh with my friends.” Jill Trythall, Director of Student Life said, “It’s been a fun thing to watch such a variety of students come together to skate”.

By David Barker The Other Side Village has collaborated with the Snow College Construction Management program to build two tiny 400-square-foot homes. The Other Side Village is a master-planned neighborhood that provides affordable, permanent, quality housing for people emerging from chronic homelessness. The Village is founded on the conviction that housing alone will never solve homelessness, but having a supportive community will. The combination of high-quality, permanent housing and a strong culture of personal growth, support, and connection is the heart of this community model. Officials broke ground for the Village in March 2023. It is located at 1850 West and Indiana Avenue in Salt Lake City. Phase One is underway with an initial 60 tiny homes planned to be built. With extensive construction experience, Professor Ivan Starr has led the effort on the construction of the two homes at Snow College. Professor David Barker joined the faculty in January 2023 and has brought his architectural design talent to the project. The Construction Management faculty are leading a team of students to construct and eventually deliver the projects to the Other Side Village development in Salt Lake City. One of the homes built by the Snow College Construction Management program is located at the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, Utah and the other at West Campus in Ephraim. The construction process includes all the standard requirements of a traditional house, such as framing floors,

walls, roofs, plumbing, and electrical. Students are also involved in all the finished detail work and cabinetry. Student José Cisneros, Jr. is excited to learn about practical building design and construction through this project. “It is great to have a construction project that may be a part in solving a social concern in our community,” he said. “I really like working on this project with the other students. It is great to get away from the textbooks a bit and apply what we are learning.” These tiny home projects have been a thrilling experience for faculty and students alike. Finish work will commence in the Fall 2023 semester. Students enrolled in the construction management lab classes obtain community service-learning hours and recognition on their transcripts. Hands-on, engaged learning opportunities are the heart of the building construction and design program. The team is delighted to have partnered with the Village to benefit Snow College students and the larger community.

Our Communities, Ephraim Update Snow College and Ephraim City have long had a close relationship. I have always said: “As goes Snow College, so goes Ephraim City.” Snow is our largest community employer, and the tax base that is brought to our city through employees and students provides a gigantic economic boon for our city. The financial, cultural, and sports venues that Snow offers our community are part of what makes our small rural setting so lovely with such a positive lifestyle. We get all the benefits of a major college town without having to live in a big city. Photo by Steve Widmer

I’d like to review some ongoing projects in Ephraim City that benefit our residents and Snow College students, staff, and faculty. Ephraim Canyon Project: Construction is underway for curb, gutter, and sidewalk being installed along our Canyon Road. This project should be completed by late September. Many residents and students use this Canyon Road for walking, running, skating, boarding, and biking, and now they will be able to do that much more safely. Skatepark: Work began July 10th on our skatepark located at Canyon View Park. This project is brought to you by major state grants and donations from local businesses. This facility will be located just to the southeast of our Ephraim fire station and will provide an enormous recreation outlet for residents and Snow students alike.

Cobblestone Motel Groundbreaking: A new hotel is coming to Ephraim with 54 rooms! Cobblestone Hotel and Suites is noted as “the biggest hotel chain that you’ve never heard of.” They have over 160 hotels nationwide and are expanding rapidly. The hotel will be located at the north end of town and should be completed about a year from now. This second hotel will add greatly to the expanding need for hotel space to accommodate parents visiting their children at Snow College, fans visiting for Snow College games, and accommodating visiting sports teams from outside the area. Arby’s and Wendy’s: The building of these restaurant facilities is progressing rapidly. As Snow College students return in the fall they will have even more variety in their dining experiences, along with our already established restaurant facilities to choose from.

A dedicated alum By Janie Harris Kay Christensen, a proud Sanpete County native and Snow College alumnus, has left an indelible mark on the college. His deep-rooted love for Snow College, which transformed his own life, led him to influence many to follow in his footsteps. Three of his six children attended Snow, and so far, 13 of his grandchildren have also followed suit. As a result, the Snow College alumni community now boasts several Christensen relatives who proudly share their cherished experiences with others. Kay's dedication to Snow College extends far beyond his familial influence. When the opportunity to serve as a board member of the alumni association arose, he eagerly embraced it. Kay actively engaged in his board responsibilities and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the college and its alumni. Recognizing his exceptional contributions, he was nominated and served as Snow College’s alumni association board president for five years, starting in 2019. During his tenure, alumni engagement flourished. From alumni involvement in homecoming activities, distinguished alumni ceremonies, and Golden Badger reunions, to new international alumni activities, reunions, and more, Kay always emphasized the importance of connecting with fellow Snow College alumni. Notably, Kay played a pivotal role in the success of the $5 million Reimagine Scholarship Campaign. Through his efforts, money was raised for the alumni scholarship fund through initiatives such as selling alumni cords and encouraging alumni to create endowed scholarship funds. These efforts ensure that aspiring students can pursue their dreams by providing them with scholarship support. As Kay’s remarkable term draws to a close, the Snow College community reflects upon his profound influence. Deep appreciation is extended for his tireless dedication, exceptional leadership, and unwavering commitment to the college and its alumni. 36

Alumni board president's message I’m excited to serve as the alumni board president. Snow College played a huge part in my personal and social development and prepared me for professional growth. As I meet fellow Badger alum either in person or virtually, most are very excited to tell stories and share memories of how the Snow College experience changed their lives. It’s been many years now since my time at Snow, but I too am grateful for the leaders, instructors, and friends that opened my mind to so much more of the world than I had known before and instilled a vision of a future that I didn’t know existed. I am excited now to be able to give back. As a board, we work on ways to assist alumni in staying engaged with the school and helping others have the quality experience they had. Whether it be through increasing awareness of Snow College events and activities, guest speaking, mentoring for departments (either on campus or virtually), providing scholarships, or waving in the homecoming parade, we do what we can to help, support, and engage in “Our beloved Snow.” We are looking for others with some time, talents, or desire to join us as either a board member, committee help, or to engage in other ways to carry on the legacy Snow has established. Please reach out to the alumni department or me personally today to share your story or time and let your Badger Pride shine! Sincerely, Karl Rostron

DISTINGUISHEDALUMNus

Rhett Long By Emily Ross A code of courage has been the guiding principle in Rhett Long’s life. He explains, “You can’t be afraid to be successful. A lot of people have all the talent in the world but are too afraid to fail.” This has been evident throughout Rhett’s life as he fearlessly tried new and different paths— and succeeded. Rhett’s journey began in Richfield, Utah, the oldest of three children. Rhett’s dad worked as an engineer and his job took the family all over the midwestern United States. When Rhett was 12 years old his family moved to Pinjarra, Western Australia. While many Americans living in Australia attended private school, Rhett chose to attend the local public school. This was an experience that he loved, and he still has six “mates” from his school days with whom he keeps in contact almost weekly. Rhett loved and excelled at golf and became the first American to play on the Western Australia Junior Golf team. Because of this, the “Rhett Long Rule” was established in Junior Golf, stipulating that only Australian-born athletes could play, but one of Rhett’s coaches had enough influence to fight this rule to keep him on the team. When Rhett returned to Richfield High School at 16 years old, he learned he was ahead of his classmates. He was encouraged to take classes concurrently at the former Sevier Valley Area Vocational Center, fondly known as “The Tech,” now Snow College Richfield Campus. Teacher Dennis Davis saw in Rhett an aptitude for engineering and architectural drafting, and Rhett began designing all the homes for the Boise Cascade homebuilding program. This evolved into designing commercial projects where Rhett’s designs won awards. Rhett graduated from Richfield High School and Sevier Valley Tech in 1978 on the same day, only a few hours apart. Reflecting on his time at the Tech, Rhett recalled, “Mel and Dennis made that such a rewarding experience, and I will tell you, I have used my associate degree more in my life than anything else.” Throughout Rhett’s career of managing hundred-million-dollar expansions, rather than

hiring an expensive architect for projects, he was able to use what he learned at the Tech to draw up the blueprints himself. Rhett’s friendship with Mel Hyatt and Dennis Davis never ended and he commented, “They were just dear friends throughout my life. They saw something in me and let me do it.” Rhett moved on to Southern Utah University (SUU) with a full-ride golf scholarship. He had always planned on being an architect and chose to study engineering at SUU, but going from applied hands-on work at the Tech to sitting behind a drafting table made him rethink his future. He wanted to make more of a difference and decided to switch to business administration. This prepared him for a twenty-year career managing hotels, ski resorts, multimillion-dollar casinos, and thousands of employees. In 1997 while serving as regional president of Park Place Entertainment, Rhett was put in charge of internet marketing for the company. He came up with the idea to partner with Gannett News, the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S., to advertise on their internet platform. Rhett noted, “That is where I earned the brightest star in my career.” Within a year and a half, the databases across the casinos grew by 18 million people and generated over $1.8 billion in new revenue. By this point, Rhett was falling out of love with the casino side of the business. It was fun making lifelong friends with the billionaires of the world, flying aboard private jets to visit company-owned islands, or yacht sailing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. However, running a casino was demanding work with late nights and incredibly long hours, and he was ready for a change. At this time, Gannett Newspaper saw what Rhett could do with technology and asked him to leave Park Place to come to work for them. Information technology was in S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E | 2 0 2 3

its infancy and the opportunity intimidated Rhett more than anything he had done up to that point. But in 2001 he took the leap, leaving the gaming industry behind to become president of Hawaii.com, 101 Things to Do, and Must Do Travel at Gannett News, managing more than 50 magazines ranging from health to travel. Remembering this experience, Rhett advised, “Never be afraid that a job’s too big, or you can’t do it.” Toward the end of his career, Rhett took yet another leap becoming a newspaperman. He published the Spectrum Newspaper in Southern Utah for almost four years and in 2019 was approached to publish the Provo Daily Herald. He decided to leave retirement (and golfing every day), arriving at the Herald to find it was losing almost half a million dollars each year. Under his management, he turned it around, helping it earn one million dollars within the first year. He credits this success to emphasizing “local, local, local,” satisfying the community’s desire for more local news. Rhett has spent countless hours giving back to his communities. After participating in the Hilton Giving

2 0 2 3 | S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E

events while at the Reno Hilton, Rhett began to see that there was more to life than just making money for the company. He began volunteering on various boards, including the downtown Reno development committee reclaiming the run-down Truckee River. Rhett helped create a taskforce that built Whitewater kayak park and walking paths, turning the river from an eyesore to the gem of Reno. As an avid golfer, he helped start the PGA RenoTahoe Open, which continues today, raising millions of dollars that go back to the community. Rhett is supported by his five children and four grandchildren, with whom he loves spending time. He and his wife Suzie, a Speech and Language Technician, currently reside in North Ogden, Utah, where he enjoys being a supportive husband and father, golfing, and putting 100% of his efforts toward giving back. When reflecting on his life, Rhett said, “I’ve always said, it’s been fun to be Rhett. I’ve always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. I’ve always worked with the greatest people and the legends of Las Vegas. I’ve had such a great life—it’s been amazing.”

DISTINGUISHEDALUMNi

Gary & Janet Carlston By Marci Larsen John Quincy Adams said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” Gary and Janet Carlston are leaders. Throughout their lives, they have inspired others to dream, learn, do, and become more. Their professional careers culminated as leaders of Snow College nearly 45 years after they met on campus as students. Gary and Janet were involved student leaders at Snow. Gary served as the Latter-day Saint Student Association President, and Janet was the Public Relations Student Body Officer. Despite demanding schedules, they found time to spend with each other. Their friendship evolved into courtship, and the happy, busy couple married in December 1969. As newlyweds, they rented a small apartment in Ephraim. Janet, who had completed her degree, worked in the Registrar’s Office while Gary finished his schooling. Janet’s boss, Ross Findlay, motivated Gary to “just get back here and get to work” and restart school after serving a church mission. They cherish this relationship with Mr. Findlay, along with others they developed with professors, classmates, and peers. Janet and her Snow College roommates still get together once a year for a week-long reunion where they reminisce and reconnect. Gary enjoyed every one of his teachers and remarked that he never had a “bad professor” while at Snow. That’s a compliment coming from anyone, but it packs even more weight given Gary’s educational and work experience. Gary and Janet both chose education as their professions. After graduating from Snow, Janet finished her Elementary Education degree at Utah State University and then spent time at home raising their four children and serving in PTA leadership roles before she began her 22-year career as a first-grade teacher. 40

Gary spent his entire career in both public and higher education. After graduating from Snow College with his AS degree and Utah State University with BS and MEd degrees, he completed an EdD at Brigham Young University in Educational Administration. He worked as a junior high school teacher, elementary and secondary principal, district curriculum director, and was superintendent of the Logan City School District. Gary additionally served as a tenured faculty member at Utah State University, associate dean in the College of Education, and interim department head of secondary education at Utah State University. At BYU, he worked in the Center for the Improvement of Teacher Education and Schooling (CITES). He was also deputy state superintendent and served as Governor Mike Leavitt’s Deputy for Education. Gary and Janet both had distinguished careers and received numerous accolades for their professional accomplishments. After retiring, the Carlstons served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand and travelled to the South Pacific to work with the church schools. They have both spent countless hours volunteering for their church and in their communities, including Gary’s 12-year term on the Snow College Board of Trustees and Janet’s work with Primary Children’s Hospital and Lambda Delta Sigma. Never a couple to be idle, the Carlstons answered another call in January 2014. They were asked to return to their alma mater to serve as the top leaders while the search committee filled a vacant presidency. In an unprecedented move, the “interim” title was removed without a full search after a review team interviewed dozens of internal and external groups and could not find a single negative criticism of the Carlstons. Together, the Carlstons led their school until they chose to retire (for a second time!) in 2019. Years after their retirement, the

S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E | 2 0 2 3

same opinion holds: the Carlstons are still held in the highest regard by employees, stakeholders, and community members. They have achieved almost superhuman status in the Snow College history books. That status is well-deserved, although the Carlstons quickly point out it was a collective team effort of administrators, faculty, staff, and trustees that contributed to the college’s successes during their tenure. Together, with the support of others, the couple made an impact at Snow. The college reached the goal of being “one institution with two campuses,” and the first comprehensive campus master plan for development of the Richfield Campus was created. The infrastructure on both campuses improved with the addition of the Graham Science Center and Bergesen Athletic Center in Ephraim and the addition of a much-needed parking lot, ten classrooms in the Sevier Valley Center, and a fitness center on the Richfield Campus. The Carlstons consistently prioritized people over projects in their approach. The college received a historical $1.3 million to address compensation needs and raise all employees’ salaries to the national median. Rodeo, e-Sports, and men’s and women’s soccer programs were added to the athletic lineup, and more than 40 new academic programs – including a B.S. in Software Engineering – were added. The Carlstons’ greatest impact on their alma mater, however, is difficult to quantify on a spreadsheet or include in a mandated performance report. Their influence on faculty, staff, students, community members, and external stakeholders is impossible to calculate. Through their quiet, kind, and consistent approach, they built relationships and solidified institutional reputation. Badger Pride soared. During one campus event, President Carlston taught attendees that, “The big secret in life is that there is no big

secret. It’s the little things.” He and Janet emulate goodness through the little things they do, and everyone they interact with can feel it. This gift of lifting others has been evident throughout the Carlstons’ lives. In true fashion, they deflect any praise and humbly say, “Anything we have been able to do together comes in great measure because of our mothers.” Gary and Janet express deep gratitude for their mothers’ sacrifices which enabled them to obtain an education and have the opportunities they have had. Through them, they learned many life lessons—one of which is the importance of family. They both believe that family is their greatest accomplishment. Here, as in all their life ventures, Gary and Janet have been a team. Family time is an enjoyment and priority to the Carlstons, and that is evident in the strong bonds they share with their children, grandchildren, and siblings. Friends, family members, and former colleagues who know the Carlstons best define them as loving, wise, caring, genuine, humble, supportive, charitable, giving, and selfless. And all give thanks for Gary and Janet’s example. The phrase “Spirit of Snow” became a defining theme of their presidency, and although that may be difficult for some to describe, it is easy for the Carlstons. They talk about the caring, accepting, supporting spirit of the college, a place where people and relationships matter, and a history that is filled with sacrifice and service from visionary founders. They said, “We were introduced to that special Snow feeling when we were students, and when we returned years later to lead, that ‘Spirit of Snow’ completely wrapped around us. We felt it in so many ways.” They felt it Continued-Carlstons

Carlstons Continued

deeply because they personify it. The “Spirit of Snow” is not abstract in the Carlstons’ minds: it is an individualized, personal experience that Badgers everywhere know and recognize when they stop to think about what makes Snow College so exceptional. The Carlstons reflect, “These two kids from Fairview and Ferron were changed because of the people at Snow College.” Years later, they changed the people at Snow College and left a legacy as leaders at their alma mater.

Gary was the first Snow College alumnus and Sanpete County native to serve as its president. That Badger blood runs deep and is still evident in the “Snow Room” filled with Snow College memorabilia in their Cache Valley home and in the emotion both share as they talk about their Snow College. They say, “We love this college. It has maintained a solid hold on our hearts since we began as students.” We too love the Carlstons and are honored to recognize them as 2023 Distinguished Alumni.

Angel in the Outfield By Shannon Allred On January 16, 2023, Snow College softball player Paige Rydalch was tragically killed in a car accident as she was returning to campus after a weekend visit with her family. As news of Paige’s death spread, the campus community came together to support her family, friends, and teammates. A vigil was held in her honor with hundreds of students in attendance. Paige was a natural leader, and teammates spoke of the hole her absence created. They smiled through tears as they recounted stories about Paige and remembered her as the “team mom.” The softball team dedicated their 2023 season to Paige and worked hard to make her proud. Calling her their “angel in the outfield,” she was recognized alongside her teammates on Sophomore Day. Prior to Paige’s death, she had completed all the requirements to graduate and was preparing to apply to the Snow College Nursing program. At the viewing celebrating Paige’s life, President Stacee McIff and Vice President Rob Nielson presented her parents with an honorary acceptance letter to the Snow College Nursing program— honoring Paige’s dream.
