| Dixie State College Community Unites to Raise Funds for Ailing Student Body President |
04/20/2009 - Dixie State College of Utah students, faculty and staff have joined together to raise money on behalf of their student body president, Brock Bybee, who is facing major surgery in the coming weeks.
The 23-year old Bybee, a senior from Roy, Utah, is set to undergo necessary brain surgery next month, soon after he dons his cap and gown in graduating with his Bachelor's degree in Communication. Having suffered from epileptic seizures most of his life, he received the good news that he is a candidate to have surgery to help correct the problem. However, the bad news is that this operation is extremely expensive. What makes the matter worse for Bybee and his family, including his widowed mother and four younger sisters at home, is that they are uninsured. |
