Many of you know that I have been a student and teacher of business for a long time. I’m finding that my business background was a good preparation for my current role. It’s been helpful to recall my training in marketing, accounting, economics, management, and entrepreneurship, but I’ve realized what is most valuable is what Fortune 500 companies identify as their most important resource – people. At Snow College, we are in the business of people.
Thank you for being kind, competent colleagues who show time and time again that we haven’t lost our human touch. This personalized care is one of our most distinguishing traits, and it makes a difference to those who interact with us. As we approach our work, I hope we all remember that individuals matter most. Our students want and expect to have a good experience in your class, at your window, or in your office. Our colleagues want to feel respected, heard, understood, and appreciated.
Please come and enjoy the many activities taking place this weekend, and invite your friends and family to experience Snow College! Once people interact with our students and employees, they can’t help but recognize that what we have is exceptional. A significant part of what makes us special is that people – students, colleagues, and community members – matter most!

With the school year well underway Technical Education programs are actively promoting and marketing their programs to high school students and staging industry connections. Industrial Technology faculty brought back manufacturing day with resounding success. 163 selected students from 14 high schools were on the Richfield campus to meet and talk with sixteen local industries scattered throughout our communities. Numerous high school instructors commented about the outstanding success of this activity. One instructor said, “I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the manufacturing day it was probably the best one I have been to. I really enjoyed talking with local employers about how they are working with Snow College for jobs. I really wish more students had the opportunity to do this and see the possibilities. There are a lot of good jobs out there that do not require a four-year degree and I think that would really appeal to a lot of students. Thanks again for putting this together”. Other BTE programs are planning similar engagement opportunities for high school students throughout the school year.

TRIO programs are a group of federal outreach and student services programs in the United States designed to support and assist individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds in their pursuit of higher education. The primary goal of TRIO programs is to increase access to higher education and help students succeed academically. Snow College runs two TRIO programs within on campus within Student Affairs under the direction of Mike Anderson. These programs include Upward Bound, and Student Support Services.
Each year the regional TRIO program (incorporating six states) extends the TRIO Aspire Rising Star award to a professional serving in these programs who demonstrates excellence in their work of supporting students, and who have been involved in TRIO programing fewer than three years. Mardee Allen from the Snow College Student Support Services team received the Aspire Rising Star award on October 10, 2023.
We congratulate Mardee on her recognition of excellence in the work that she does to help students succeed. She and her colleagues do an incredible job of helping students build success at Snow. This is evident in the persistence, retention, and completion data of the students they serve.
