SNOW NAMES BRACH SCHLUETER DEAN OF STUDENTS
AND ENROLLMENT SERVICES

EPHRAIM, Utah—February 6, 2006—Snow College recently named Brach Schlueter dean of students and enrollment services. Schlueter has been dean of enrollment and student financial services for five years. He will continue in that capacity with the added responsibilities of dean of students. Schlueter takes over for Lynn Schiffman who has taken a faculty position in Snow’s business department. The new position oversees the following areas: admissions, enrollment marketing, scholarships, financial aid, residency, student life and student discipline.

Schlueter has been at Snow College for 20 years. He came to Snow as assistant director of school relations and quickly became the director. Community relations was later added to his area. Prior to being named a dean, Schlueter was director of enrollment management.

Schlueter has a reputation as one of the finest presenters on the college tour – an annual recruiting tour every fall when all of the higher education institutions visit high schools throughout Utah. He is responsible for several marketing innovations at Snow College that are now replicated at many schools.

“Brach has a natural appeal to students and student leaders. He’s met with nearly all of our student leaders in just one week and I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback,” said Brad Winn, Snow’s provost. “Our dean of students plays a central role in developing the whole student – encouraging students to engage in a wide variety of activities and to find ways of applying their classroom learning to our campus and community.”

Schlueter created and led the Snow College student ambassadors for several years – a team of Snow students charged with recruiting students to the College. The ambassadors are one of several terrific leadership opportunities for Snow students. Several Utah schools have created ambassador teams patterned after Snow’s.
