Ashlyn Summers of Waxahachie Wins Big Tex Youth Livestock Scholarship
Ashlyn Summers, an 18-year-old student in Waxahachie, was recently awarded a Big Tex Youth Livestock Scholarship from the State Fair of Texas. Despite having to cancel their largest fundraiser, the 2020 Fair due to Covid-19, they awarded $1 million in college scholarships to 170 Texas students. Ninety seven scholarships went to students involved in youth livestock activities.
Ashlyn said, “I have been involved in FFA and 4-H since I was 8 years old, and I have been very blessed to be so involved in the livestock industry for that time as well. As a Junior member, I had been exposed to many aspects of pig shows so far, by attending many State and National events in which I have been fortunate enough successfully participate and travel all over the USA. I have made so many friends, contacts, and connections throughout the livestock show community.”

Denver Prince
After earning a grant from the National Science Foundation, Denver Prince was attending Vanderbilt University in the summer of 1959 when he was contacted by A.E. Burdick, the academic dean at Arkansas State Teachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas, about teaching at the institution.
“I was taking 14 hours and didn’t have time to come to Conway for an interview. Dean Burdick met me at the airport in Nashville to interview me for the job at UCA,” Prince said. “He came back and reported to Dr. Snow that he felt they should hire me.”
