April 29, 2025 — Ephraim, UT — Two faculty members will be recognized during Snow College’s Ephraim Commencement Ceremony on May 2, 2025. Professor Travis Schiffman will be presented with the Jesse Madsen Brady Teaching Award, and Professor Rachel Keller will be awarded the J. Elliot & Maxine Cameron Faculty Service Award.

The Jesse Madsen Brady Teaching Award recognizes a Snow College faculty member who has demonstrated superior teaching in the classroom and service to students outside the classroom. Bringing language to life through innovative teaching methods, Professor Travis Schiffman bridges classroom learning with real-world application. His excellence, empathy, and unwavering dedication make Professor Schiffman a truly deserving recipient of this award.

The Elliot and Maxine Cameron Faculty Service Award was designed to recognize faculty members who have a history of distinguished service. Professor Rachel Keller’s lifelong commitment to service is far-reaching. She is known as a kind and compassionate teacher who approaches students with empathy and respect, a valued colleague who practices shared governance, and a giving community member who jumps in whenever she sees a need.

When asked about the award recipients, Provost Michael Austin said, “Our teaching and service award winners this year represent the best of Snow College. They are both passionate teachers and dedicated servant leaders who have left a mark on the world by what they have contributed to Snow and its students.”
