Wabash College President Scott Feller has appointed Dr. Scott C. Brown as Dean of Students, replacing Dr. Greg Redding ’88, who has served in the post for the last six years. Dr. Brown brings three decades of experience in student development and will assume his role at Wabash on June 30.

“From the moment I was approached about this role, I knew that I wanted to join this special community,” Dr. Brown said. “I look forward to serving as Dean and working closely alongside such extraordinary faculty, staff, and course, our students.”

Dr. Brown earned his bachelor’s degree in English at the University of California, Irvine, a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs from Indiana University, and his Ph.D. in student personnel administration from the University of Maryland.

He worked in residence life while earning his doctorate then started his career directing the career center at Mount Holyoke College. He served as associate vice president and dean of students at Colgate University for eight years. He left Colgate in 2016 to become vice president of student affairs and dean of students at the College of Wooster, where he oversaw a team of 60 student life professionals.

After a year as interim associate vice president and dean of students at Northern Arizona University, Dr. Brown became dean of the college at Dartmouth College, where he served on the president’s senior leadership team and managed a staff of over 250 employees. He was honored as an honorary member of the Class of 1984. Most recently, Dr. Brown served as interim dean of students at Sterling College in Vermont.

“I’m very proud of the search we undertook for this critical position at Wabash and pleased that we attracted a robust pool of exceptionally talented professionals,” said President Feller. “Dr. Brown brings an enormous amount of experience at very different institutions, and it’s clear that he is an effective leader of students. 亚洲通 are excited that he is joining our community.”

As a consultant, Dr. Brown has conducted program reviews of career centers at more than a dozen colleges and universities. He has been widely published on topics ranging from wisdom and leadership development to inclusion and mitigating high-risk behaviors. He has given more than 30 invited presentations and keynotes, has been honored with the Annuit Coeptis Award for Outstanding Senior Professional and the Diamond Honoree for Contributions to the Profession by the College Student Educators International, and served as an Inaugural Senior Impact Fellow for the Aspen Institute. He is a long-time member of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators.

Dr. Brown and his wife, Anne-Marie Lemal, are the parents of three grown children.
