Dear Dixie Alumni,
Congratulations to our newest Alumni members! Dixie State University class of 2013! For the first time in the history of this institution, students graduated with University status on their diploma. Graduation was a great success and the Alumni Association was able to meet with many of the graduates as they came and received their caps and gowns at the Grad Fair. We're excited for them and their future endeavors as Dixie State Alumni.
We hope you enjoy hearing the latest news about what's happening here on campus as well as exciting things with our Alumni!
Dixie State Alumni Relations,
Kalynn, Ashlee, and Austin

"The future of Dixie State University is indeed exciting and you, as alumni, can and should be part of shaping that future," Dr. Millner said.
