Leave Your Mark at Dixie State University

In 1862, Peter Neilson was one of the great men who paved the way for us. He sacrificed all of his family savings to acquire the glass for the St. George Tabernacle. That day, Peter not only helped build the tabernacle, he also left a legacy ... a legacy that would be an extraordinary contribution to the Spirit of Dixie.
Neilson's legacy is still alive today, more than 150 years later, as 80% of those windows are still in place. This sacrifice is one that we all have benefited from. Now it's our turn to carry on. Whether you grew up in Dixie or have adopted it as your home, the Peter Neilson legacy is your heritage, too! To learn more about the Peter Neilson story, go to www.dixie.edu/pavers.
