Distinguished Service Award Recipient marion bennion stevens

Born in Murray, Utah, in 1925, Marion Stevens was raised in the remote Utah town of Delta. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Utah State University in dietetics in 1947, she left Utah for the first time for an internship in New York City at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Following her internship, she received a master’s in dietetics from Columbia University in 1949 before serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1950 to 1952 in what was then called the East Central States Mission. After returning from her mission, Stevens was hired at BYU by President Ernest L. Wilkinson as a faculty member in the former College of Family Living—under one condition: that she earn a PhD. Stevens followed through and moved to Wisconsin, where she received her PhD in food science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1956. Stevens worked as a professor in BYU’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition from 1952 to 1977. She served as department chair from 1955 to 1960 and again from 1962 to 1969. In addition to her work as a professor, Stevens was a member of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services for the U.S. Department of Defense from 1965 to 1968 and a delegate to the White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health in 1969. In 1974 she was awarded the Karl G. Maeser Distinguished Teaching Award from University. Upon meeting her husband, Wayne Stevens, at age 50, Stevens decided to leave BYU and move to El Paso, Texas, where Wayne was working. Despite having left her position, Stevens didn’t let her relationship with BYU die. “I love working with the students at BYU,” she says. “That’s the best part of the whole job.” To continue helping BYU students succeed, Stevens set up the Beryl Hamilton Scholarship Fund in memory of her mother, who in 1920 was one of the earliest female graduates of the University of Utah. Stevens and her husband have returned to Utah Valley, and they continue to contribute to the scholarship fund. When asked if she has a secret to aging well or to enjoying life, Stevens says it’s important to use our brains. She says, “Have a positive attitude and do the best that you can.” Honored Students
