Outreach sponsors Brian Head summer school by Lisa Laird This year's summer school program, which will be held in part at the Brian Head Hotel, is causing some concern with students. The classes at Brian Head are being funded by the Division of Continuing Education and the Outreach program. Phil Carter, assistant vice president over academic programs, said the Brian Head program was set up with outreach students in mind. Were not robbing summer school from Cedar, but trying to benefit the outreach students and Brian Head, maintains Carter. During the regular school year instructors commute to nine communities to teach the outreach students. Carter said that many then come to SUSC in the summer to earn more credits. Carter explained that with the Brian Head school in one location, outreach students can commute or stay at the Brian Head Hotel. Regular summer school students may attend the Brian Head classes too, but must worry about transportation and access. For them, there is a shuttle bus system that will leave the SUSC Auditorium parking lot at 8 a.m. and take students back to the SUSC campus when afternoon workshops are over at Brian Head. People should allow about one hour for travel time to get from SUSC to Brian Head, officials said. If a student has a need to come back earlier for afternoon classes at SUSC or for employment a ride back can be arranged, said Carter. However, Carter said that students would not be shuttled for their own convenience, and the shuttle was not a taxi service. The shuttle service would mean no financial penalty for transportation, and an hour or two wait would not inconvenience students. Carter said most students can carpool with an instructor to go to afternoon classes at Brian Head. Students who decide to drive themselves may park at the Brian Head Hotel.

The summer sessions at the resort are part of a new program initiated by the Division of Continuing Education and the outreach program. Carter explained that with the outreach program funding the Brian Head school, students have 16 more classes to choose from than they would have had with school just on the SUSC campus. Were not robbing Cedar, contends Carter. If the school wasnt held at Brian Head, it wouldnt be at all. The Continuing Education people hope to attract a new group of students, such as the condominium owners at Brian Head, who could take classes and live at Brian Head during the summer months. Most of the condominium owners are and could take from advantage of the tuition waiver during the summer sessions. Another advantage of the Brian Head location is that the hotel is promoting the school by advertising in the Western states, Carter said. The Brian Head Hotel is providing SUSC free classroom space, an office for the school, the shuttle service, and reduced hotel fees for overnight guests. Students who wish to stay at the hotel may live in suites at prices comparable to the housing charges, rather than stay in Cedar City. The suites do have kitchens and the hotel may provide a meal ticket. Also, there are grocery stores, restaurants, and snack places available, he said. Brian Head is also sponsoring several weekend festivals during summer school to promote the resort and the school. Beginning in July, there will be several music festivals such as jazz, blue grass, 1950 s and country, two art festivals, a film festival, a tennis camp, and a balloon and hang gliding weekend. Another influencing factor for Brian Head was the appeal of the location, Carter said. The area is scenic and offers access to the national parks. Carter said he had a few eminent guest instructors, such as creative writer Bill Ransom or chef Ann Shelton, come for lesser fees simply because of the locale. Its hard to compete against schools like Baylor and or Texas A &. M, said Carter, because SUSC doesnt have the money to pay the fees for guest instructors. But the summer session locale was an attraction for the instructors. Carter admits, however, that he is aware of student concerns toward the Brian Head school and said that most problems can be cleared if students would speak with someone in his office in Old Main. Problems such as transportation and scheduling could be worked out, he said. One attempt to meet the Cedar school is to teach two sections of the one at Brian general education classes Head and one at Cedar, maintains Carter. |
