2011 UAOA Annual Conference

The 2011 Conference Committee members worked diligently to make certain this conference would be remembered for its excellence, both in the quality of the two keynote speakers and in the rich variety of the 27 presentations and 6 networking sessions that all address the theme Aspire Higher: Elevate Advising to the Summit of Success. Bridget was invited to present along with winning a scholarship for being a first time attendee and first time presenter. She presented on Responding to Threats: Individual Crisis Management. Jared was invited to present at a networking session on Improving Services for At-Risk/Academic Standard Students.

Who Says We Don't Have Any Fun

Jared Burton hates the Yankees and loves the Red Socks so Joe, Whitney and Shane decided to decorate his office in Yankees memorabilia & tin foil.

Thanks goes to all of the advisors from Millcreek High School Seniors.

One of our many high school trips to Beaver, Cedar, Delta, Kanab, Moapa Valley, Valley & Virgin Valley to assist the seniors with registration.

2011 High School Advisement & Registration

Advisement provides the opportunity for our local schools to register their seniors for DSC courses at their high school. The local high schools included Desert Hills, Dixie, Enterprise, Hurricane, Pine View, Snow Canyon and Tuacahn.

We also provided the same experience for Beaver, Canyon View, Cedar, Delta, Kanab, Moapa Valley, Valley and Virgin Valley . We extend the same for Millcreek seniors, only we invited them on campus for an advisement & registration session. We also sponsored an evening session for those seniors who could not attend their high school A&R session. We do this to provide better customer service for our students.

2011 Centennial Commencement Exercises

Fall, spring, and summer graduates were honored at Dixie State College of Utah’s Centennial Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 6, 2011, at 2:00 p.m., in the Burns Arena. The ceremony provided an opportunity for the college to pay special tribute to the graduates for the outstanding efforts they have shown in earning their degrees. This was an opportunity for the graduates to share the excitement and importance of their academic accomplishments with faculty, fellow graduates, family, and friends.

DSC celebrated its first graduating class in Psychology, Theater, Communication w/ an Emphasis in Organization & Leadership, and Integrated Studies w/ a Criminal Justice Emphasis.

"Given that Dixie State College was originally founded by the LDS Church a century ago, it seems appropriate to acknowledge our roots as we prepare to enter our next 100 years," DSC President Dr. Stephen D. Nadauld said. "Accordingly, we will be honored to welcome President Thomas S. Monson to our campus as our Centennial Commencement speaker. This will be a great opportunity for our graduates to receive counsel and encouragement as they prepare to enter into the next phase of their lives."
