Selwin Receives His Bachelors Degree

Selwin Lovell graduated magna cum laude from Dixie State University on Friday, May 3, a year ahead of schedule, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Marketing. The first in his Guyanese family to earn a college degree, Selwin is one of 1828 students - ranging in age from 16 to 67 - in DSU's Class of 2019. The husband of Brianna Teddie Bair Lovell; identical twin brother to Simeon Lovell, and, a favorite son of Linda and Ed Sappington, has been on the Dean’s List almost every semester and was, last semester, named to the President’s List of students with a 4.0 gpa. 

Selwin was pleased to have his grandmother, Minetta Lovell and his uncle Sherlock Lovell travel from Guyana to be present at this momentous event, but the biggest surprise was having his father Anthony Lovell travel from New Jersey to spend time with his twin sons. 

Later, we partied “Utah style” (with burgers and chocolate cake in the back yard) into the night with neighbors and friends and got caught up with former missionaries with whom we served in Guyana, including Meg and Michael Treseder from Queen Creek, AZ. 

Selwin has worked very hard to reach this milestone in his life.  Now on to a full-time job and an MBA!
