Wabash College President Scott Feller has appointed Scott Brown as dean of students, succeeding Greg Redding, who served in the role for the last six years, the college said Tuesday.
Brown, who brings three decades of experience in student development, will assume his new role on June 30.
Most recently, Brown served as interim dean of students at Sterling College in Vermont. He has also held leadership roles at Dartmouth College, Northern Arizona University, and Colgate University, among other schools.
“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,” Feller said in a news release. “Dr. Brown brings an enormous amount of experience at very different institutions, and it’s clear that he is an effective leader of students. We are excited that he is joining our community.”
Brown has conducted program reviews of career centers at more than a dozen colleges and universities and is widely published on topics such as wisdom and leadership development, inclusion and mitigating high-risk behaviors, Wabash said in the release.
“From the moment I was approached about this role, I knew that I wanted to join this special community,” Brown said. “I look forward to serving as Dean and working closely alongside such extraordinary faculty, staff, and course, our students.”
Brown received 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 administration from the University of Maryland.
