Dear Dixie Alumni,

Thank you for your support at the tailgate parties. It has been great to see so many of you. What a great opportunity it has been thus far to get together and enjoy a party in support of our athletic programs with fellow Dixie alums. We have four more tailgates this season so come out and enjoy free food, and have some fun with us!

Homecoming is right around the corner which means we will have the opportunity to honor several alumni. This year we will be honoring the Whitwer brothers (Royden, Sheldon, Tony, & Melvin) and Tad & Willa Derrick. The banquet guest speakers will be Dave and Cheryl Rose. Get your Homecoming Banquet ticket now as seating will become limited. Cost is $14 per person. Contact Kalynn Larson at 435-652-7535.

Sincerely,

Dixie State Alumni Relations

Kalynn, Chet, Tammie, Margaret, and Hal

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.
