Snow Day on the Hill 2025
Annual event highlights Snow’s value in state education system
February 6, 2025 – EPHRAIM, UT – Administration, faculty, staff, and students gathered in the Capitol Rotunda in Salt Lake City yesterday for “Snow Day on the Hill.” This annual event provides an opportunity for legislators to get to know Snow College and what it offers the state of Utah. Faculty and staff from each of the five academic divisions, along with the athletic department, Concurrent Enrollment team and GRIT Center, created displays to highlight the unique opportunities available to Snow College students.
Donning badger blue and orange, students mingled with legislators, state leaders, and other local political influencers to share how they have benefited during their time at Snow College. Students spoke about graduating debt-free, gaining invaluable work experience, and—with the support of caring faculty—developing a plan for their future. This message created positive energy throughout the Rotunda and encouraged those in attendance to share their own families’ Snow College stories with great affection.
Snow College president Stacee Yardley McIff said, “I am incredibly proud of Snow College, and our annual Snow Day on the Hill is a wonderful opportunity for legislators and others to witness firsthand the excellence of our institution. Our outstanding faculty, dedicated staff, and exceptional students represent us with distinction. We are fortunate to have several alumni serving in the legislature, along with many valued friends and supporters. Their continued advocacy is so meaningful to us, and we look forward to working together to ensure we meet the evolving needs of our students."
The goal for Snow Day on the Hill is to tell the story of Snow College, strengthen relationships with stakeholders, and provide others with the information they need to help move the school forward. Our students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and partners expertly told that story and came together to make a memorable impression. Those in attendance felt the support of our state’s legislators for the unique and important role Snow College plays in Utah higher education.
