December, 2023

 


Dear Neighbor,


This truly is my most “wonderful time of the year!” The first snow has fallen and colorful lights brighten up homes, downtown, and you must come see the display at Beverley Taylor Sorenson Center for the Arts! This time of year we gather with family and friends and we look for opportunities to serve our neighbors in need. So many holiday events are quickly upon us. We hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities to join us as we celebrate this joyous season.


Much anticipated musical events of the season include the SUU Holiday Concert on Dec. 1 in the Heritage Center and Diamond Rio will bring their Holidays & Hits concert to the America First Events Center on Dec. 7.


Please consider helping with the Iron County Holiday Assistance Program. Donations and gifts are needed by Dec. 1. Together we make a big difference for those in our community who may need a little lift.


From all of us at SUU, we wish you a healthful and joyful Holiday season.

Tradition Keeper - Holidays in Cedar City


Cedar City during Christmas time is a magical experience! Not only is downtown Cedar City beautiful with lights strung overhead from building to building in the heart of town, but many locals have put time and passion into the lights on their homes to provide festive, beautiful holiday views that will undoubtedly spark your “tis the season” spirit. In keeping with tradition, SUU encourages all T-birds to enjoy their community's winter wonderland to celebrate the end of the semester.
