Dear UVM Community,
I write today with mixed emotions. Scott Thomas, dean of the College of Education and Social Services (CESS), has accepted a role as the newly endowed John P. ‘Jack’ Ellbogen Dean of the University of Wyoming’s (UW) College of Education and will be starting his new position on July 1. While I’m sad to see Scott leave UVM, I know he will be an exceptional leader at UW, and I look forward to his continued success.
Scott joined the UVM community in 2016 and, throughout his tenure, he has always prioritized student and faculty success. His strategic thinking and collaborative approach have fostered numerous advances for CESS and the university as a whole. This includes his service as Interim Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences a role that, as a former CNHS dean, is near and dear to my heart, and a responsibility that Scott executed in exemplary fashion.

POTSDAM â Pandemic or no pandemic, SUNY Potsdam womenâs hockey players, members of the menâs lacrosse team and others are among a dozen athletes helping Malone Central School District students understand their options for college and what it takes to excel as a student athlete.
Although COVID-19 has changed the way things are done â with students and mentors interacting virtually through computer screens â it hasnât changed the purpose of Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), now in its second year of a five-year initiative with Malone students. Mentors are helping students in grades six through nine explore ways to get excited about college degrees, sports and career readiness. Along the way, the athletes themselves are learning how to facilitate conversations for teaching and building the essential skills of teamwork, agility, resilience, networking, leadership, and goal setting.
