Snow College is excited for future student opportunities
June 6, 2025 – Ephraim, UT – Snow College is pleased to announce that the Utah Board of Higher Education (UBHE) has approved the institutional strategic reinvestment plan. Per HB 265, Snow College is required to reallocate $1,678,700 over the next three fiscal years. The plan will now go the state legislature for review and final approval, which is expected in September.
The plan applies Snow’s existing philosophy of continuous improvement and utilized data and the expertise of faculty and staff throughout the decision-making process. School officials also worked closely with the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE), legislators, and the campus community. The plan centers around the themes of workforce alignment, operational efficiencies, student support and success, and a commitment to thriving rural communities.
Snow College will invest in and expand the following programs:
“We’re grateful to the many individuals who shaped this plan—especially the Academic Review Task Force, Program Incubator Committee, Deans Council, and Cabinet,” said Snow College President Stacee Yardley McIff. “With strong support from the Legislature and Commissioner’s Office, we’ve built a plan that strengthens Snow College. We’re excited to launch new and expanded programs that offer personalized, career-focused opportunities in high-demand fields across our region and state.”
The State Board of Higher Education also approved the proposed mission statement in its meeting today. The statement, which says “We empower each student with a personalized path to success through comprehensive education, advanced technical training, and the confidence to create a thriving future” combined with the reinvestment plan launch Snow into a relevant future.
Board of Trustees Chair Rick Robinson said, “We appreciate the support of the State Board on both our reinvestment plan and mission statement. The future of Snow College is bright, and I have every confidence in the administration, faculty, and staff. Student success is our complete focus, and the path forward for Snow College is well-defined. Snow College’s impact to our region cannot be understated; these important initiatives will enhance our communities and the entire state”
