Dixie creates scholarship in honor of R.J. Snow

ST. GEORGE — Dixie State College has created a scholarship in honor of R.J. Snow, who died June 7 in an auto accident.

Snow, an administrator at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah for more than 30 years, was a DSC alumnus and trustee.

"We have been honored to serve with one of Dixie's homegrown favorite sons. R.J. Snow's wealth of knowledge, experience, judgment, and his intense interest in Dixie State College has provided a steadying influence to the institution during his service on the board," said Jeannine Holt, vice chairwoman of the DSC Board of Trustees, who grew up with Snow.

Snow attended Dixie College as a student in 1956 and 1957 and served as student body president. He served the 2005-06 academic year as a member of the college's board of trustees. His father, Glenn E. Snow, served as president of the college from 1938-50.

Those wishing to donate to the R.J. Snow scholarship fund can call 435-652-7509, e-mail forman@dixie.edu, or by mail to the institutional advancement office at DSC, 225 S. 700 East, St. George, UT 84770.
