The Ivory Community Leadership Award is a cash award given out by the Center for Community Engaged Learning. Two Weber State University students could receive this award in April.

Provided by Clark and Christine Ivory, the founders of Ivory Homes, this leadership award offers $2,000 to the winner of the award and an extra $10,000 towards the winners initiative or cause.

“This is the family foundation that Clark and Christine created to invest back into the Utah community,” Alexis Bucknam, the executive director of CCEL, said.

The Ivory Community Leadership Award was first brought to WSU in 2021 and has been given out every April since then, making 2024 the fourth year that the prize will be given out.

The award operates to acknowledge students who have strongly impacted student success and offer leadership to the community around them. CCEL is looking to award students who have worked to develop new programs and organizations around campus as well as outside of campus.

What makes the Ivory Prize unique is that the award is not only open to undergraduates and graduate students, but also those who have recently graduated from Weber State. Alumni nominees need to have graduated

within the last five years to be eligible for the award. This aspect of the award makes the Ivory Prize stand out amongst other awards that are given away on campus.

“It is a nice thing that we can recognize people who have continued to work in the community after graduation and have continued to invest their time and resources in that way,” Bucknam said.

Nominations and applications for this award are due on Feb. 29, and after that the Ivory Award Committee will begin their review process for the award.

From the week of March 18-25, the committee will select and announce the recipient of this year’s award. On April 5, CCEL will hold a recognition event to celebrate this year’s prize recipient and top nominees.

Another aspect that sets this award apart is that two people can receive the award. Each recipient will receive $2,000, but the $10,000 will be split amongst the two recipients. The two recipients will then get $5,000 to donate to their cause or team.

The winner of the prize will be acknowledged via a display in the Shepherd Union building.

In 2023 the Ivory Prize was awarded to B. Drake Regalado Alton. When Alton was a junior at WSU in 2021 he founded a non-profit organization called the Regalado Foundation. This foundation works to help Ogden students that are underrepresented get into college

and other forms of higher education.

According to the Regalado Foundation’s website, they have raised $40,000 in scholarship awards for students over the past three years.

The Ivory Community is currently committed to five years of doing the Ivory Prize, meaning 2025 may be the last time that the award is given away at Weber State.

Bucknam hopes that WSU can show the positive impact that an award like this has had on students and the community, this way the award can continue to be given out

annually.

“Often times for undergrads or people in grad school it can be difficult to make a financial investment in something you care about, so the fact that the award allows for that makes it pretty unique and away for students to reflect back to the community partners they worked with,” Bucknam said.

El Premio Ivory al Liderazgo Comunitario es un reconocimiento en efectivo otorgado por el Centro de Aprendizaje Comprometido con la Comunidad (Center for Community Engaged Learning). Dos estudiantes de la universidad Weber State podrán recibir este premio en abril.

Proporcionado por Clark y Christine Ivory, los fundadores de Ivory Homes, este premio de liderazgo ofrece 2.000 dólares al ganador del premio y 10.000 dólares extra para la campaña o causa del ganador.

“Esta es la fundación familiar que Clark y Christine crearon para invertir en la comunidad de Utah”, dijo Alexis Bucknam, director ejecutivo del CCEL.

El Premio Ivory al Liderazgo Comunitario se concedió por primera vez en la WSU en 2021 y desde entonces se ha entregado cada mes de abril, por lo que 2024 será el cuarto año en que se entregue el premio.

El premio reconoce a los estudiantes que han tenido un fuerte impacto en el éxito estudiantil y ofrecen liderazgo a la comunidad que les rodea. El CCEL busca premiar a estudiantes que hayan trabajado para desarrollar nuevos programas y organizaciones dentro y fuera del campus.

Lo que hace que el Ivory Prize sea único es que el premio no sólo está abierto a estudiantes universitarios y de posgrado, sino también a los que se han graduado recientemente en Weber State.

Los antiguos alumnos nominados deben haberse graduado en los últimos cinco años para poder optar al premio. Este aspecto del premio hace que el Premio Ivory destaque entre otros premios que se conceden en el campus.

“Es muy agradable el poder reconocer a las personas que han seguido trabajando en la comunidad después de graduarse y han seguido invirtiendo su tiempo y recursos en ese sentido”, dijo Bucknam.

El plazo de presentación de candidaturas y solicitudes para este premio finaliza el 29 de febrero, tras lo cual el Comité del Premio Ivory iniciará su proceso de revisión del premio.

En la semana del 18 al 25 de marzo, el comité seleccionará y anunciará al ganador del premio de este año. El 5 de abril, el CCEL celebrará un acto de reconocimiento al ganador del premio de este año y a los mejores candidatos.

Otro aspecto que distingue a este premio es que pueden recibirlo dos personas. Cada uno recibirá 2.000 dólares, pero los 10.000 dólares se dividirán entre los dos ganadores. Los dos premiados recibirán 5.000 dólares para donarlos a su causa o equipo.

El ganador del premio será reconocido

En 2023, el Premio Ivory se concedió a B. Drake Regalado Alton. En 2021, cuando Alton se encontraba en su tercer año en la WSU, fundó una organización sin ánimo de lucro llamada Regalado Foundation. Esta fundación trabaja para ayudar a los estudiantes de Ogden que están poco representados a entrar en la universidad y otras formas de educación superior.

Según el sitio web de la Fundación Regalado, han recaudado 40.000 dólares en becas para estudiantes en los últimos tres años.

En la actualidad, la Comunidad Ivory se ha comprometido a realizar el Premio Ivory durante cinco años, lo que significa que 2025 puede ser la última vez que se entregue el premio en Weber State.

Bucknam espera que WSU pueda mostrar el impacto positivo que un premio como este ha tenido en los estudiantes y la comunidad, de esta manera el premio puede seguir siendo entregado anualmente.

“A menudo, para los estudiantes universitarios o de posgrado puede ser difícil hacer una inversión financiera en algo que les importa, por lo que el hecho de que el premio lo permita lo hace único y facilita que los estudiantes se reflejen en los socios de la comunidad con los que trabajaron”, dijo Bucknam.

Collaboration is a necessary tool in the world of journalism. Whether it’s through communication, sharing photos or co-writing a story, it is necessary.

At Weber State University, we practice journalistic skills in organizations such as Studio 76, where students learn to work with different forms of digital media.

According to Lieb Kuich, Studio 76’s executive operations manager, the work done at Studio 76 ranges from short films and client projects to podcasts and interviews.

Another organization at WSU with its focus on giving students an opportunity to learn journalistic skills is the radio station, KWCR.

“KWCR wants to use our platform to lift the local community, emphasizing diverse voices in a variety of accessible ways,” Rachel Daughters, the program director at KWCR, said.

Lastly, there’s The Signpost. This is Weber State’s student-run newspaper. The newspaper is a place where students learn skills that vary from creating graphics and taking photos, to writing stories and even translating those stories into Spanish.

All of these organizations have a goal of working together through collaborating with one another in various ways. For the first time in 2024, these organizations were able to achieve that goal.

The Collaboration

Collyn Cowles, the sports editor at The Signpost, has been the person to spearhead this goal so far in 2024. Cowles came up with the idea to interview Weber State basketball player, Dillon Jones.

This idea allowed KWCR, The Signpost and Studio 76 to all come together in a collaborative way.

Once Cowles had a date and time set in

place for the interview, The Signpost reached out to Studio 76 and KWCR to see if the three organizations would have interest in covering this interview.

After about a month of planning, the interview officially took place on Feb. 22 at the Dee Event Center. There were four members from The Signpost and two members from Studio 76 covering the interview.

KWCR Sports Director Grayden Guthrie and his co-host Trevin Johnson, who is the KWCR sports broadcaster, were able to interview Cowles about the interview with Jones on Feb. 23.

In the eyes of The Signpost, this interview is only the starting point for a future full of collaborations between these three organizations. It could very well be the start of a new way at Weber State University to educate future student journalists who study at the school.

La colaboración es una herramienta necesaria en el mundo del periodismo.Ya sea a través de la comunicación, compartiendo fotos o escribiendo una historia, es necesaria.

En Weber State University, practicamos habilidades periodísticas en organizaciones como Studio 76 donde los estudiantes aprenden a trabajar con diferentes formas de medios digitales.

Según Lieb Kuich, director ejecutivo de operaciones de Studio 76, el trabajo que se hace en Studio 76 va desde cortometrajes y proyectos para clientes podcast y entrevistas.

Otra organización de WSU que se centra en dar a los estudiantes la oportunidad de aprender habilidades periodísticas es la emisora de radio KWCR.

“KWCR quiere usar nuestra plataforma para elevar a la comunidad local, enfatizando diversas voces en una variedad de formas accesible”, dijo Rachel Daughters, directora de programas KWCR.

Por último, está The Signpost. Es el periodico dirigido por los estudiantes de Weber State. El periodico es un lugar donde los estudiantes aprenden habilidades que van desde la creación de gráficos y la toma de fotografías, hasta la redacción de historias e incluso la traducción de historias en español.

Todas estas organizaciones tienen el objetivo de trabajar juntas colaborando entre sí de

diversas maneras. Por primera vez en 2024 estas organizaciones fueron capaces de lograr ese objetivo.

La colaboracion:

Collyn Cowles, redactor de deportes del Signpost, ha sido la persona que ha encabezado este objetivo en lo que va de 2024. Cowles tuvo la idea de entrevistar a Dillon Jones jugador de baloncesto de Weber State.

Esta idea permite que KWCR, The Signpost y Studio 76 se unieran de forma colaborativa. Una vez que Cowles fijó una fecha y hora para la entrevista, The Signpost se puso en contacto con Studio 76 y KWCR para ver si las tres organizaciones estarían interesadas en cubrir esta entrevista.

Tras un mes de planificación, la entrevista tuvo lugar oficialmente el 22 de febrero en el Dee Event Center. Cuatro miembros de The Signpost y dos de Studio 76 cubrieron la entrevista.

El director de deportes de KWCR Grayden Guthrie y su co-presentador Trevin Johnson, que es el locutor de deportes de KWCR pudieron entrevistar a Cowles sobre la entrevista con Jones el 23 de Febrero.

En opinión de The Signpost, esta entrevista es solo el punto de partida de un futuro lleno de colaboraciones entre estas tres organizaciones. Podría muy bien ser el comienzo de una nueva forma en la Universidad Weber State de educar a los futuros estudiantes de periodismo que estudian en la universidad.

Forward Dillon Jones from Columbia, South Carolina, signed to play basketball at Weber State University in April of 2021.

Beginning his career at Weber State in 2020-21, Jones played in all 23 games and started two of them. He was honored as the Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year. He averaged 8.2 points per game and scored in double figures 10 times, averaged 5.8 rebounds per game, averaged 1.6 steals per game and shot 56% from the field.

Jones was also named a finalist for the Kyle Macy Award from Collegeinsider.com, which is given annually to the nation’s top freshman.

In the 2021-22 season he played 33 games and started 32 of them. He earned first-time All-Big Sky honors and second-team All-District honors and was named Tournament MVP of the Jersey Mike’s Classic. Jones recorded 17 double-doubles and had 59 steals, which is the sixth-most in a season in Weber’s history, averaged 12.6 points per game and averaged 10.6 rebounds per game– totaling 350 rebounds during the season, leading the Big Sky and seventh in the country.

During the 2022-23 season Jones was a unanimous selection of the All-Big Sky first team, earned first-team All-District honors from the United States Basketball Writers Association and National Association of Basketball Coaches, named All-Tournament team at the Big Sky Tournament and earned Academic All-District honors for the College Sports Communicators and Big Sky Academic All-Conference honors. He played 32 games and has started in 31.

He recorded 20 double-doubles in the season which had him tied for the third-most of any player in the country. Averaged 10.1 defensive rebounds per game, averaged 10.9 overall rebounds which he received 350 rebounds total, this being his second year in a row. Making him for the sixth-most in a season in Weber’s history. Jones averaged 3.8 assists per game and averaged 16.7 points per game. He was first in the league in rebounding, de-

fensive rebounding and played 36.2 minutes per game.

“My success here has been, I think, very good,” Jones said. “I have had a lot of success on the court and with people in the community. But I think those numbers are just a testament of everything that I have done since I have been here, the hard work I have put in, the player that I have developed into. If you look at me as a freshman, I don’t think I knew I was going to accomplish all those things, but that is the point of going through a career.”

According to Jones, he plays each game with a purpose. He plays hard because he wants to and has improved each season because of his hard work. He gives credit to his coaches, teammates and where he came from.

“Where I am from ultimately made me who I am,” Jones said. “The best teacher in life is experience. I have experienced crazy things.

Whether it’s what I’ve been through personally, what I’ve seen with my own eyes, what I’ve seen other people go through. It doesn’t mean nothing if you just see it but if you learn from it. It helped me grow into the person I am. On the basketball court it gives me that sense of urgency to not forget where I am from.”

As a junior at Keenan High School in South Carolina Jones led his team to a 3A state title. He also averaged 12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists that season. For his senior year he transferred to Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kansas.

The history at Weber State has played a significant role in Jones’ desire to come here. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jones experienced virtual recruiting and did not come and visit the school like most athletes do. Despite this setback Jones was able to get a different perspective of Weber State and the city of Ogden. To him it was a positive experience.

“I was able to evaluate Weber in a sense of taking all the emotions out of it, about the gym, the community,” Jones said. “I had to base it solely on basketball and what they have done here.”

By basing his decision off the history of basketball at Weber State and Jones wanting to follow in the footsteps of the players who had played here, it made the decision to choose

Weber very easy. He has wanted to be a professional basketball player, be a part of a good program and play the game he enjoys. He was never promised that he would play right away if he chose Weber, but that Weber would give him the opportunities he needed. To Jones those opportunities are what sparked his work ethic and passion. He has used those

opportunities to play the game he loves.

“I think one of the biggest challenges, you know, when you first come into college, it sets a tone for your career and who you are as a player,” Jones said. “I think if you buy into what is actually required of you, you will be a successful player. When I first came in, I only started two games my freshman year. I nev-

er complained once. I bought into what my coaches wanted me to do, I bought into what my teammates needed me to do. I had that mindset, and I think that helped me in my career.”

Jones has had many high points and low points in his career, but he says it is all about perspective. It is important to keep your head up when things do not go your way. He is proud of the ways in which he improves in every game he plays.

One lasting impact on Jones has been his brother, Eric Washington. Jones’ love for basketball and what type of player he wanted to become has grown as he has watched his

brother play. His brother currently plays professional basketball in Germany for Nürnberg BC.

“As I have grown up, I have been proud of myself for not being a one-dimensional player,” Jones said. “Watching my brother play, he is a six-foot point guard. He was the guy that controlled the game. He knew how to control his teammates, run the show type of point guard at that size. So, me being at my size 6’6” and a little bigger, I ultimately am at a different position. So, I think that is where you see the two combine. The history of watching that as I grew up and me being myself as a player.”

During the summer of 2023 Jones participated in the G League and NBA Draft combines, but ultimately decided to return to Weber for his fourth season. Coming back to Weber was a big decision Jones had to make, but he believes it has been worth it.

“When you make a bold decision, like me, to come back to school and put my future technically at risk, everything versus what I had on the table back, it was a relief to know that I made the right decision, and the work has paid off,” Jones said. “I do believe that I am a good player, I do believe that I do belong in those moments in those times. It was meant to happen. I trust in God; I trust the

plans he has for me. So, I expect it. I can say that because I put the work in, I put the work in with my coaches, I trusted them.”

Jones was a unanimous selection as the Big Sky Conference Preseason MVP in October of 2023 and has received Big Sky Player of the Week for his seventh time this season. He has played 27 games, averages 24.5 points, averages 8.2 total rebounds and averages 6.3 assists per game. He is the only active player in the country and player in Weber State history with at least 1,000 career points, 1,000 rebounds, 300 assists and 200 steals.

A green Moroccan-style rug stands in for turf. A green bikini top represents a leaf in a canopy of trees. A melted soda bottle creates a translucent green flower.

This is not your typical recreation of a Florida swamp.

This is the scenic design for Weber State University’s latest theater production: “The Amphibians.”

This production is the world premiere of “The Amphibians,” written by playwright Dan Caffrey.

“The Amphibians” had its first weekend of performances in the Eccles Theater in the

Browning Center on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24, and will run again Feb. 28 until March 1.

Sustainability takes center stage inon the concepts of this production, both in the plot and in the set design.

Set in Florida 13 years in the future, Caffrey describes the play as following two high schoolers who have to navigate not only regular high school problems, but also the threat of worsening climate conditions.

“Sustainability was always something we had in mind, and we wanted to produce a show with as much as we already had in stock,” Lily Hilden, student director of this production, said.

Light designer Kace Barthlome and scenic designer Porter Lance worked together to

find ways to recreate a Florida forest as closely as possible with sustainable materials.

Lance said this set was different from others because usually they know what it’s going to look like beforehand. For this production, they needed to see what materials they could work with first.

“My goal was definitely to buy nothing that would be thrown away, and buy nothing that would not have a life either before or after our use,” Lance said.

Lance said he looked through the theater department’s stock, thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace to find the materials, including the rugs that line the floor of the set.

Other materials included were donated or brought by the crew.

Barthlome, who works as a hairstylist, said they brought some empty, green shampoo bottles from work that were going to be thrown out.

Green grocery bags were also used in the design, and the sustainability office on campus also helped collect green items, Barthlome said.

Lighting was worked into the scene design through light-up flowers and plants. Barthlome said that in order to get the lighting design right, they had to look into which plants are bioluminescent in nature, and which plants are native to Florida.

This resulted in optical fibers being molded into plants. Barthlome said they also put

LED tape lights into pool noodles to create another type of plant. Fog and haze are used to resemble Florida’s humidity.

“It takes a little bit more time, a little more effort. But I think oftentimes, that’s a limitation that kind of builds more creativity, and I definitely want to be more conscious of that in the future and use that in future designs rather than just starting with something brand new,” Lance said.

The largest piece of this set design lies in the canopy of trees made out of thrifted green clothes. Cully Long, assistant professor of theater, said the crew found a Goodwill outlet in Salt Lake City that sold clothes by the pound.

“So we went down, we bought like 200 pounds of just green clothing that we’ve used

to make the canopy,” Long said. “And it’s been attached up there in a way that it’s not being damaged. We can take it down.”

When the clothes do come down, some students already have claims on which articles they want to take with them. Hilden pointed out a striped button- up they hadve their eye on.

“When you look at it close up, it not only looks like an amazing forest. This was just built completely with materials that already existed,” Caffrey said. “You can do a show that looks expensive and epic in scope and visually stunning, using just everything that’s already around you.”

Caffrey is glad to see the students get excited about his play. He said he came up with

the idea in 2012 when he began to discover how bad the climate crisis had become. Writing about it helped him work through the worries he was feeling. He started workshopping it while at grad school at the University of Texas Austin in 2017.

“I kept thinking, well, what would it be like to be a high schooler then, to have to navigate all the complexities of high school, including these close friendships that sometimes fall apart in the middle of having to worry about all these big global issues,” Caffrey said.

Caffrey said that one reason he’s excited is that while the students involved in the production are a few years older than the characters in the play, they may deal with some of the same feelings.

“It makes me feel like hopefully I’m speaking to them in some kind of way,” Caffrey said.

This very sentiment was reflected by Hilden, who has been working with this play for about a year now.

“The reason I selected the script in the first place is because I could relate to it in a lot of ways,” Hilden said. “How do we fix this? And what I related to in the show was this idea of like, ‘I’m just a teenager. How am I supposed to know what to do? And why does this fall on me?’”

Tickets for the show cost $10 for WSU students and $17 for adults. Youth tickets are $14, however a mature content warning is listed for language.
