President's Christmas Gala and Mannheim Steamroller Concert

Merry Christmas!

On a crisp winter night the SUU Campus was all in a buzz of celebration. Wednesday, December 2, 2015 will be remembered by many as being a night of honoring SUU, the Cedar City community and those individuals who have gone above expectations in paying it forward to this institution by providing scholarships, research and by supporting through generous donations for continued advances in the Colleges.







President Wyatt hosted over 500 guests to a glorious banquet and program.





Awards were given to Walter & Alice Gibson for their contributions to the Walter Maxwell Gibson College of Science and Engineering;




and to Ken & Helen Englehart who have been generous in their support of SUU students who will become teachers.






Members of the Old Main Society were honored and new inductions were made. The member listing was printed in the program: Members of the Old Main Society "Benefactor" is the level for gifts between $100,000 and $499,000.  "Gold Medallion" gifts qualify at $500,000 to $999,999, and the "Centurium Circle" is denoted by gifts greater than $1,000.000. "Legacy" is the level for planned gifts to the University in estates, bequests, wills, trusts and annuities.



Afterwards, guests were invited to attend the already packed Centrum Arena for Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas Concert by Chip Davis.





The house was packed with over 4000 in attendance and the music brought feelings of camaraderie and Christmas to SUU alumni, friends, students alike.

What a great way to celebrate as we ring in the new year together,
with expectations for a brilliant future for all!
