She was also promoted by the political science department with an internship in the office of Sen. Orrin Hatch, in Washington D.C. "It was a great opportunity for me to be so close to many historical places and to meet the people who came to visit Senator Hatch's office," Madsen said about her time in Washington, where she met her husband. Madsen graduated with a bachelor of science degree in finance and continues to be involved by devoting her time serving as president of the Young Alumni Association, organizing events such as an annual Aggie Ice Cream party for the families at the "Road Home" shelter in Salt Lake, and as a member of the Alumni Association on the Davis County Alumni Board. Madsen has also helped to create the 1888 Club, a club sponsored by the Alumni Association for younger Alumni members who want to give back to Utah State but can't give large amounts. "The best part of serving in any capacity is just the opportunity to meet great people. I think that's the best thing for me, its an opportunity to serve people outside of my comfort zone," Madsen said. She said she advises students to take advantage of their time on campus to be "involved in things that they can take with them." Madsen said, "I always honk every time I see someone's Aggie license plate, and I took all of my kids and we drove to Reno the last two years for the basketball tour- nament." Dennis and Lynn Sessions, who also received the award, have been long-time supporters of USU. Both attended and graduated from Utah State, Dennis with a bachelor's degree in business and Lynn in elementary education. With the support of his wife, Dennis served for two years as the president of the USU Alumni Association. Along with these leadership positions, Dennis has served on the Board of Trustees, the Executive Council and is a Lifetime Sustaining member of the USU Alumni Association and members of the Alumni Legacy Board along with Lynn. "It was a great experience and I enjoyed meeting a lot of new Alumni as well as attending events around Utah and Idaho. I also got to better understand how the university operates," Sessions said of heading his time heading the USU Alumni Association. "We really take this (award) as an honor," Sessions said, "We were excited about it and felt it as a privilege. We've always tried to be good alumni and be involved at Utah State." The Sessions also owned a hotel as well as an Ace hardware store, which they are selling before heading into retirement. Sessions said, "I've been self-employed ever since I graduated and we've enjoyed being self-employed. You have to get through the tough times but during the good times at least you're rewarded for your efforts." The Sessions also established fund at USU for a Leadership Scholarship for students graduating from Teton High School near their hometown of Idaho Falls. "We've tried to be proud Aggies in our community and encouraging graduating seniors to go to Utah State for their education," Sessions said. Sessions encourages USU students to finish their degree. "Don't leave school without it. We're so fortunate we graduated and its opened a lot of doors in our life," Sessions said. Randy Watts, mayor of Logan City, and his wife, Kathie, were the final recipients of the Alumni Hall of Honor award. "I am just very appreciative and I thank the university for that recognition," Mayor Watts said. Both Randy and Kathie grew up in Logan. Randy has served as president of the USU Alumni Association as well as on the Board of Trustees. The Watts are also members of the USU Community Associates, the Old Main Society and the Alumni Legacy Board as Lifetime Sustaining members. "I just really enjoy my job in the Alumni because we are literally raising dollars for chapters which now put monies back at their disposal into students who would otherwise not get an education. That brought so much pleasure to me just to see that happen," Watts said. Mayor Watts has also had many other opportunities to serve Logan such as serving as the Vice President of Cache Valley builders and the Vice President of the Sunshine Terrace Board of Directors along with the Zions Bank Advisory Board. "I've always said 'where would Logan be without Utah State?"' Watts said. "It brings a quality of life that we just otherwise would not experience." He said, "It's all about the experience for the students at USU and trying to make it a better experience." — allie.jeppson@aggiemail. usu.edu 4 Para Espanol, Ilame a 435-797-5437 What if you could help millions of children just by living your life?

He said this demonstrates how close and how real the need for awareness is. "It's one of those things that even if you're not sexually active, if you're choosing to abstain, things like that, it's good to be knowledgeable because you could help someone else," Cooper said. "So it affects way more and has more of a scope than people want to believe," he said. "And they need to know. They need to see what it's like and what it's about." — dan.whitney.smith@aggiemail. usu.edu |
