Cache Valley is covered in a beautiful blanket of snow this week, just in time for our students to finish their finals and depart for a much deserved Holiday Break.

This month, we are thankful for the many alumni and friends of the Huntsman School who make financial contributions in support of our students. Scholarship support goes a long way in helping us recruit and retain the best and brightest business students. Thanks to our loyal donors, scholarship distribution in our college has increased from $200,000 in 2006 to $1.3 million this year.

Providing scholarship support for our students allows them time to not only succeed in their studies, but to participate in outside-the-classroom experiences like student competitions and clubs, global experiences and career exploration opportunities. We hear from student after student that these opportunities make all the difference in their education, experience and career preparation. This holiday season, I hope you will consider the role the school played in your life and invest in the success of our students.

To everyone in our Huntsman community, thank you for your support of the Huntsman School of Business and our students. We wish you the best during this Christmas season and the coming year!
