SOUTH JORDAN — College students pursuing a level in well being professions will now have the choice to fast-track their diploma by means of a brand new partnership between Snow Faculty and Roseman College.
The 2 establishments introduced an articulation settlement this week that eliminates “among the potential purple tape which will exist and among the hoops.” College students can have a pathway that would see them graduating from Snow Faculty with an affiliate diploma in two years.
After that, they will transfer seamlessly into a physician of pharmacy, affiliate diploma in nursing, registered nurse or bachelor of science in nursing pathway program at Roseman College, wrapping up their respective diploma in three years.
“So 5 years out of highschool, probably, a pupil can have a doctorate in pharmacy,” mentioned Jeremy Wells, chancellor on the Roseman College South Jordan campus.
Snow Faculty Provost Melanie Jenkins mentioned college members are “so excited” in regards to the new alternative.
“I imply, think about that, 5 years and a pupil may have a doctorate diploma, so our college had been actually on board and supportive of this concept,” Jenkins mentioned.
As a group school that Jenkins described as “largely a switch establishment,” agreements just like the one with Roseman College are essential to the success of Snow’s college students.
“We do not need them to start out right here after which should retake lessons or, you realize, transfer again a bit of within the curriculum as a way to achieve success,” Jenkins mentioned.
Together with eradicating the guessing sport so far as college students questioning whether or not their lessons and credit from Snow Faculty will switch, the settlement can be a big price discount for college students, Jenkins and Wells mentioned.
Moreover, the Physician of Pharmacy program at Roseman is without doubt one of the solely three-year pharmacy applications within the nation, Wells mentioned.
Since most different pharmacy applications take 4 years to finish, college students who’ve gone by means of Snow Faculty and Roseman College with the pathway will probably be within the workforce earlier than their friends.
“It helps on the tutoring, you are solely paying three years of tuition versus 4 and, you are in fact, out within the workforce working that fourth yr. … In order that’s important,” Wells mentioned.

What the Runnin’ Utes’ Craig Smith once said in scouting Utah Jazz’s No. 10 selection Cody Williams
Craig Smith had multiple opportunities last season to conduct a scouting report on Cody Williams, the Utah Jazz’s first selection in Wednesday night’s opening round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
That’s because Williams’ Colorado Buffaloes faced Smith and the Utah Runnin’ Utes three times during his lone collegiate season, with Williams playing in two of the contests.
Williams and the Buffaloes got the best of Smith and the Utes the two times the 6-foot-7 wing played against them. They beat them by 24 in late February, then blew them out again during the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals.
Williams missed the teams’ first meeting last season, when Utah edged the Buffaloes in Salt Lake City. Still, getting familiar with Colorado gave Smith several chances to check out film on the future Jazzman.
Before the teams played in February, Smith talked about what Williams brings to the floor.
“He can get it going in any number of ways. At his size and his length, when he gets around the rim, he’s able to finish at all kinds of angles, over shot blockers,” Smith said at the time.
Williams averaged 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game last season for Colorado, a squad that included fellow first-round draft pick Tristan da Silva (he went 18th overall to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night) and guard KJ Simpson, who’s projected to be a second-round selection on Thursday.
Williams also shot 55.2% from the field during the 2023-24 season and 41.5% from 3-point range in limited attempts.
The talented wing never made much of an impact against the Utes. in Colorado’s two wins over Utah, he averaged 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.
Smith was also impressed with what Williams does defensively.
“He’s a good defender because he’s so long,” Smith said. “You can get deep and you might have a half a step advantage, but with his length, he can catch up and make those plays.”
SALT LAKE CITY — Fans of the Utah Jazz waited with bated breath at the 2024 NBA Draft watch party, hosted by the team Wednesday night at the Delta Center.
Entry was free to the public, with the broadcast of the draft on the jumbotron. While some sat in the stands to watch picks 1-9, others occupied their time playing games like cornhole, taking photos in front of the Jazz’s “Mountain Basketball” logo, shopping for team merch and hitting the concession stands.
Fans in attendance said they’re optimistic, with most saying they hope the Jazz front office selects someone to help complement Lauri Markkanen.
Utah ended up picking Cody Williams, a freshman forward from the University of Colorado, as their first draftee of the night (10th pick overall). The team also has the 29th pick.
