Taking Snow reins President aims to raise college to new heights

today what Gerald Day did for me and others during his tenure in the late 80's... foster an atmosphere that teaches you to believe in yourself and that you can do anything you want because Snow College believes in you. There's no finer school than Snow College and no better man than Scott Wyatt to lead it. Best of luck Scott. Thanks for your vision, leadership and friendship.
This focus is just what Snow students need before they start a career with one of Snow's excellent associate degrees, or continue on to the larger, a less personal four-year college or university. My experience at Snow was a great foundation. I am pleased to see that Scott will continue this 119 year tradition.
I think Snow should move towards becoming at least a 4 year degree to stay relevant. But no, Mr. Wyatt, the Board's hatchet man, is determined to keep Snow from repeating UVSC's path.
I look forward to seeing Snow continue to build it's tradition of offering stellar education to it's fine and proud students.
The earlier comment about the "uselessness of Snow" or any 2-year college is not true. Students are zipping through their education in such a hurry that many disciplines remain unexplored. Liberal Arts disciplines are getting a bad rap when they are such a basis for intellectual thought.
AP tests and concurrent enrollment do not exist for every academic discipline, and it's better that way. Some disciplines require pre-requisite knowledge in foundational areas that must be obtained beforehand. What better a place to explore these new academic areas than Snow? -Where classes are small and tuition is low!
Not every student can take advantage of AP classes anyway, and it is unrelated to their intelligence or work ethic. Mostly it is timing and finances that intervene. EVERY student deserves an education and Snow is particularly good at serving a variety of students. -Not to mention Snow produces some of the best athletes for the NCAA in the country. Go Badgers!!
