GIFT TO SNOW COLLEGE BOLSTERS NURSING PROGRAM
Snow has Increased
Nursing Offerings
EPHRAIM,
Utah—January 20, 2005—Snow College today
announced a $50,000 gift from an anonymous donor that will create a scholarship
endowment for nursing students at Snow Richfield. The gift will be of
tremendous benefit to the many students choosing to study nursing – currently a
high-demand profession in Utah.
“We’re
very grateful to the donor – who not only supports the nursing program but is
giving significantly to the Sevier Valley Center,” said Michael T. Benson,
president of Snow College. “Snow College needs to be the center of nursing
training in Central Utah and gifts like this help make it possible.”
Snow
also announced that it now offers a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) class at
Juab High School in Nephi. The CNA or Practical Nursing program is a
prerequisite for entry into any nursing program and qualifies students to be
employable at care centers. In addition to Nephi, Snow offers the course in Richfield,
Ephraim, Delta, Fillmore and Tintic.
Additionally,
Snow offers a Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) certificate through its
Richfield and Ephraim campuses. Students attending either the Richfield or
Ephraim campuses may obtain a Registered Nurse (RN) associate’s offered by
Weber State through EdNet. For information about Snow’s nursing offerings dial
(435) 893-2232.
