  • Because We Can
    Southern Utah University Presidential Ambassadors 2013-2014 because we can Page 1 Campus Tour Information “Catch on fire with Enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.” John Wesley Page 2 HERE’S thE DEAL Campus tours are essential to effective recruiting. As an Ambassador you are the initial contact for future students. You become the face and voice of Southern Utah University. “For despite all the money that colleges and universities spend on brochures, Web sites and other marketing efforts, high school students and their parents often base their impressions of an institution on the young man or woman who has led them around campus for 45 minutes (Lombardi, 2006).” So here’s the deal: “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care!” The purpose of a campus tour at Southern Utah University is to make a personal connection with future T-birds! Long after they’ve forgotten the date the Business Building was built, they will remember how you made them feel. Your job is to help them see how they can belong at SUU. To help with this objective, each Ambassador should make it their goal to learn at least four new things about the future student that can be addressed on the follow-up postcard. For example, you might ask, “What are your high school colors?” or “What extra-curricular activities are you involved with?” or “How many people are in your family?” and “How many have gone to college?” Make sure to remember their answers and then you can personalize their follow-up postcard with comments like: “Good luck in next week’s volleyball game,” or “I hope everything works out with your AP exam.” Proper conduct as a tour guide is also essential.

  • Big Sky Announces Additions of North Dakota, Southern Utah
    BIG SKY ANNOUNCES ADDITIONS OF NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTHERN UTAH OGDEN, UTAH (November 1, 2010) - The Big Sky Conference is privileged to announce that the University of North Dakota and Southern Utah University have accepted invitations to become core members of the Division I conference. Both institutions received formal invitations from the league Friday, Oct. 29, advancing a process that began when the presidents of the nine current Big Sky Conference core universities approved expansion plans at their annual fall meeting on Oct. 20. Both institutions will officially join the Big Sky on July 1, 2012. However, representatives from both institutions will begin working immediately with the currently membership on scheduling, marketing, and other conference matters. “The presidents wanted to position the Big Sky Conference as a major player in football in the West,’’ said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. “But most importantly, we wanted the right kinds of schools. Our presidents have always been driven by adding institutions that fit with the schools we currently have. We’ve added two institutions that meet the criteria, and we’ve positioned ourselves to meet the visions of the presidents. We’re building a new kind of FCS confer- ence.” Monday’s additions bring the future Big Sky to 11 core members and 13 football playing members. The Big Sky Confer- ence is also on the verge of announcing the addition of the University of South Dakota as a 12th core member. The Big Sky will become a 14-team football league and split into two seven-team divisions. The Big Sky does not anticipate losing any of its current nine core members.
