Dear Dixie Alumni,  

 

Fall is in the air, which means that the Dixie State University Campus is alive with students. We are very excited about this new school year. Dixie is experiencing the largest incoming class of freshman to our University. (2,042 Students)

 

We welcome President Richard "Biff" Williams to campus as the 18th President of DSU. We look forward to having everyone meet him and helping him feel the Dixie Spirit!

 

Sincerely,

 

Dixie State Alumni Relations

Dixie Red Friday's | Dixie State Family

The entire Dixie State family is encouraged to wear their Dixie Red every Friday throughout the 2014-15 academic year, wherever they are, to show their school pride. 

 

 

Each "Dixie Red" Friday, the DSU PR/Marketing Department, along with special weekly guest judges (including President Williams, Big Dee, DSU Athletic Administrators/ Coaches), will comb the campus looking for students, faculty and staff who are wearing their Dixie Spirit on their sleeves. Weekly prizes include gift certificates from the DSU Bookstore and DSU Dining Services, and other prizes provided by DSU Athletics.  

 

We would also like you to post "selfies" and office photos showing off your Dixie Spirit on Facebook (facebook.com/DixieStateUniversity) and Instagram (instagram.com/DixieState) with the hashtag #DixieRedFriday. 

Dixie State University Professor Plays Key Role in Skin Infection Treatment Research
DSU Assistant Professor of Chemistry Dr. Rico E. Del Sesto served as a principal investigator for the project, which began during his tenure at LANL (2006-12). 

He noted that the 80 percent of human infections associated with biofilm-protected microorganisms, and the resulting skin infections, are responsible for at least 10% of hospital visits. 

According to the research, these new ionic liquids enhance the ability of antimicrobials to penetrate the skin and reach infections, which often lie just below the outermost layer of skin. In terms of efficacy and toxicity to human cells, the materials outperformed bleach when treating infections. Read the Full Story
