Catching the Vision The Alumni Council, whose members also act as officers of the Student Alumni Association (SAA), discussed their “vision” for the next semester at our retreat at the Birch Creek Ranch in Spring City January 2-3. We have focused our attention on four major projects. First, we have begun work on a yearbook—the first in eight years. We have realized the importance of yearbooks as they act as published histories from year to year at Snow. It has been exciting, enlightening, and at times entertaining to look through past yearbooks and see how much the college has changed. We want to provide our piece of history to future generations of Badgers. Second, we have begun “Project S”. As far back as the 1930’s, Snow College has hosted an “S” Day near the end of April. This day was a day of service on campus as well as a day to hike up the mountain and whitewash the S. In an effort to restore lost traditions, we are excited to announce our “S” Day on April 23rd, 2009. This will be the first “S” Day in several years. Our third major focus is the Student Alumni Association. We want everyone on campus to get involved. We have refocused our activities to include supporting the other 50 or so clubs and organizations on cam- pus. In supporting the other clubs, we support and serve the majority of our student body. Our fourth focus this semester is our Snow College Alumni facebook™ page. We currently have over 580 fans. We are elated that we have connected with that many alumni and we would love to reconnect with more! Encourage your friends to become a fan of our facebook™ page, upload photos, check for updates, and reconnect with former class- mates. So, as we begin this new semester with our new vision in mind, we invite you to also create your own “vision” of how you want to get involved again at Snow College. You can help plan a reunion, create an alumni chapter, donate to a scholarship, or share your experience in your field with students on campus. There are plenty of opportunities for YOU to get involved again at Snow College! Our Alumni Council talks a lot about the principle of the flywheel—a flywheel is a tremendously heavy wheel that seems impossible to get moving on its axis. It does begin to spin with great effort, but with each consistent push—what we call the “tap-tap-tap principle“—the fly- wheel continues to build up momentum until it reaches a velocity that is almost impossible to stop. Where that breakthrough moment of self-sustaining motion happens is also impossible to determine—all those pushes are equally important to the end result, from the first one to the hundredth and beyond. We are beginning to feel the momentum building here with Alumni Relations. We appreciate all of you who are spreading the word, telling other alumni and friends to update their information, and who are telling us they are interested in being involved at Snow again. We certain- ly love hearing from you and what you’ve been doing. We will continue our tapping in the coming months as we break ground for the new library, launch our alumni website, expand our database and tell you about all the things we have in the works. We hope you continue to tell other alumni about what’s going on and include them in our ever expanding loop. We need you to join us in our tapping so we’ll have an alumni association with endless momentum—endless potential—to push Snow on into a wonderful future.

Snow College Democrats

The Snow College Democrats understand that it is the Faculty, and staff members who make Snow College such a great place. In the most difficult of times we feel it is our duty to help out in any way that we can.

Starting on February 2nd we will kick off a fundraising drive to benefit those staff members whose jobs have been cut as a result of the recent, unfortunate budget cuts. Prior to the 2nd we will distribute collection jars to local businesses, with a short explana-tion stating that the money is going to benefit those who are being adversely affected by the cuts. Also the week before the 2nd we will have a marketing blitz on campus informing everyone about the upcoming drive and encouraging everyone to save up their change.

On February 2nd members of the Snow College Democrats, as well as all other interested students, will take donation jars around campus, including all of our classes, to collect money from students and professors to help those who have made Snow Col-lege such a great place. This money will join funds already in an account set up by Snow College. This account, named the “Snow Displaced Employees Fund”, is located at Zion’s Bank.

FranklinCovey Donates Materials to PBL Club

The FranklinCovey Corporation generously donated leadership materials to the Snow College PBL business club. The materi-als included the popular “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey, along with other leadership and communica-tion materials for business valued

at over $150. Senior Financial Analyst Clinton Painter spoke to the PBL club about his career and gave advice about seeking a job. After Painter’s presentation, he presented the donated materi-als to chapter president Ashlyn Henline, a sophomore at Snow College.

Painter advised the students to be active in extra-curricular clubs and organizations during college. He showed students how his involvement in college activities has translated into career suc-cess. Painter is a native of Nephi and assured rural students that success can come regardless of your background.

Snow College Nursing

The students in the nursing department are moving through the clinical site rotations for the next two months. This is where they are really able to put their knowledge and skills to work in a variety of healthcare settings. Valu-able experiences like these are made possible through cooperation with local medical clinics, hospitals, and long term care facilities.

The nursing department welcomes a new faculty member. Debbie Sampson started this semester and was essential to filling the fac-

ulty requirement for clinical rotations. She will teach Medical Surgical Nursing when the new class starts next fall. Debi graduated with her RN, AD degree in 1989, from Weber State University. She returned to Weber State University and obtained her BSN degree in 2007. She resides in Aurora, Utah where she is a mother of 6 children, 2 boys and 4 girls. She has recently become a grandmother of a beauti-ful baby girl. Having been a nurse for almost 20 years she has had experience in many areas of the medical profession: Urology, Gyne-cology, Oncology surgery, maternity, pediatrics, critical care areas i.e.: (ICU, CCU, NICU), Emergency department, Homecare and recently was the Hospice Manager for the Central Utah area for Intermountain. She looks forward to the challenges and opportunities as a new L.P.N. Instructor for Snow College at the Ephraim campus.

Snow College Math Contest

33rd annual Snow College Math Contest will be held on Tuesday, April 7, 2009. There is a senior division for students in grades 10-12 (2 hours, 40 questions) and a junior division for students in grades 7-9 (1 hour, 20 ques-tions).

The Math Contest was started in 1977 by Bart Nelson and Ted Olson, and the Math Department has been sponsoring it ever since. In 2006 the other departments in the Natural Science Division joined in the effort; they now sponsor the lunch and the departmental tours. The junior division of the test began in 2007. For more information, the official page link is: http://www.snow.edu/math/contest/.

Snow College Richfield

The Snow College Richfield Cos-metology and Barbering department held their 20th annual Hair Fantasy Competition. “We hold the contest every year to help students under-stand that doing hair is a form of art. By participating in this contest, students must think outside the box,” state Teri Mason, Cosmetology/Bar-bering Instructor.

Students are given 2 hours to complete their designs. They are al-lowed to use anything -- food items, paints, frosting, fruit glaze, hair extensions, floral forms, wire, ribbon, glitter, battery-powered lights, dry ice, fake or real flowers, leaves, fake spiders, Barbie dolls -- whatever works to complete their styles. The models are usually family members or friends. The only real requirement is that the styles must have a finished appearance. The judges, Chanel Hawley, Kelsey Laws, Sarah Meacham and Holly Bown, were once students of the department. “The judges were totally amazed by the level of creativity,” stated Mason.

For the morning participants, 1st place went to Mercedes Mills for her Tropical Fish. She has won 1st place for the past 3 years. Second place went to Adena Ellis for her Semi-truck, and third place went to Robbie Starr for her Picnic Table.

For the afternoon participants 1st place went to Ashley Smart for her Spider Web, 2nd place went to Taylor Peterson for her Halloween Tree, and third place went to Crissie Adams for her Wedding Cake. In addi-tion there was a station decorating contest. The winners were Shannon Oakley and Sarah Curtis. Snow College Richfield is located at 800 West 200 South.

Since it was first constructed and lit in1926, the S on the hill above Snow College

campus has been a constant in the Badger experience. Sad-ly, the S has remained dark in recent years, but at our last Homecoming, the Alumni Council successfully lit up the S once again. This was a ma-jor, if makeshift, highlight (literally) and the perfect symbol of the revitalized Student Alumni Associa-tion’s mission—honoring our history and keeping the Spirit of Snow visible and viable for Badgers past, present and future. Homecoming was a start, but now the work on the S begins in earnest. We’re calling it Project S, and it’s happening thanks to the generosity of Gordon Peterson (Class of ‘65). Gordon has donated $500 to upgrade the S—think perma-nent, environmentally friendly improvements that mean flip-ping a switch instead of lighting a match. His contribution is a great start for the plans the SAA has for the S. The SAA has scheduled several days during April to carry rocks to the S, to straighten and weed, and then finally to “whiten and brighten” on S Day (April 23). If you are interested in helping with Project S—either with your time, resources, or donations—please contact the Alumni Rela-tions office for information and updates (435-283-7062). We’d love you to join us on S Day and carry a rock to the S—bring your family and feel the Spirit of Snow.

Project SSnow History

(From Snow College Historical Highlights: The First 100 Years Snow College, Community Press, Provo, Utah 1988, pg. 26)

During the early years of Snow Academy, an “S” and an “A” appeared on the school’s athletic uniforms. Confirming this pat-tern, a large, cement “S” and “A” were constructed in front of the first gym—equidistant north and south of the west entrance. Since most schools were desig-

nating a single letter as an identifying symbol,, the “S” was adopted by the Snow students and faculty in 1914. After the “S” and the “A” were dismantled, visionary eyes came to rest most frequently on the mountain to the east. Should a large block “S” be up there overlook-ing the campus and the valley? As each new student body discussed the question, school years vanished. Would there ever be an “S” on the mountain?A committee of students, faculty and alumni approved an appropri-ate mountain site for the symbol. The border of a large block “S”—250 feet long and 150 feet wide—was delineated. An action-oriented Class of 1926 went to work on May 3. The boys cleared the slop of un-dergrowth and outlined the “S” with large rocks. On May 20, they had finished their part of the project. Tired but triumphant, they came down the mountain to enjoy a picnic prepared by the girls. There would be an “S” for the next Founders’ Day!Upperclassmen should know that college freshmen cannot be trusted. The following year, when the outlined “S” had been filled in with rocks and whitewashed, the freshmen secretly planned to light the “S” on the night of Founders’ Day. Student body, faculty, alumni and townspeople were gathered for the traditional activities when a signal was sent to the mountain. Suddenly the “S” broke into flame! The startled and excited crowd was not prepared to see the “S” aglow! A new tradition was born that evening. The honor of lighting the “S” during the annual Founders’ Day was given eventually to the upperclass-men, not the precocious freshmen whose forerunners conceived it. The Golden Quarter of Ephraim history reported that other groups such as the “S” Club and later the Intercol-legiate Knights did the lighting. For over 60 years the College “S” has served as a beacon representing the College ideals, hopes, and the “Spirit of Snow.”

History of the S

Did you know? The first hillside letter built was a C in March 1905. It was constructed out of concrete and placed on Charter Hill overlooking the UC Berkeley. The UC

Berkeley classes of 1907 and 1908 proposed this project as a means of ending the rivalry and the unruly physical encounters that had become a part

of their annual rush each spring. The UC Berkeley yearbook would later record that the two classes would go down in the history of the University as

those who sacrificed their class spirit for love of their alma mater. A few weeks following the building of Berkeley’s C, the class rivalry of the sophomores and

freshmen at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City produced a hillside U. The following year, Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, proposed and

surveyed the first three-lettered hillside emblem BYU, but reduced it to the single letter Y after realizing the amount of labor involved. The M for the

Miners of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, became the nation’s fourth hillside letter in 1908, and it has been illuminated every night

since the early 1930s. A few years later, high schools began building hillside letters; the first one was a T for Tintic High School in Eureka, Utah, built in

1912. By the 1920s and 1930s, the phenomenon of building hillside letters was a common practice in many western states, and even today hillside letters

are still being constructed.

The new library has been meticulously designed with the assistance of one of our country’s premier library consultants. The details and construction are perfect. A fireplace in the entry greets you; it has a Borders-like café, a two-hundred seat auditorium, a spiral staircase reaching group study rooms and open study spaces on four floors, and every high tech advantage and device for efficiency and learning. The building is Central Utah’s first LEED certified high performance green building.Snow College is still building on its traditions of excellence, and we invite you to be part of it.Please join us for the groundbreaking, and bring a coat because we are not waiting until fair-weather days to get going on our future. We’ll celebrate our past and future on Tuesday, February 3, 2009, at 1:00. Watch our website (www.snow.edu) or call 435-283-7000 for more information.”

News From the President

This project is much more than building a new library. It is the creation of a place on our Ephraim campus that promises to inspire. Our students do not know that Snow College is the oldest two-year college west of the Mississippi. They do not know of the men and women who built it in this desert. They do not know that its history is singular and speaks of trial and triumph, repeated over and over again. And our students do not know of the host of people who dream for their success, as a student and in life, and contribute generously to help them.With the construction of the new Snow College Library and Heritage Plaza this will change.The plaza is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped and raked, oval granite wall on which is engraven a sea of names. They are the names of men and women who, over the years, have donated to our scholarship fund the equivalent of one year’s tuition and fees or greater. You are taken by the number of names. You are reminded that a scholarships does not fall out of the sky but is money earned and donated by a person who wants you to be successful, and was willing to do more than hope, was willing to help.You make a mental note to one day add your name to the wall of those who hope for the next generation, and you act to make it so.
