Today is the first day of classes and the numbers of students coming through the doors for the start of fall is staggering. The goal for undergraduate enrollment to start this fall was 377. As of this morning we are at 426 (nearly 50 students over goal). The new student goal was 155 and we are 195 right now and it is expect that another 2-3 students will register in the next couple of days.
I wish I could take the credit for this but I have a truly amazing staff. This staff is a bunch of "doers". All I do is mention that something needs to be done and like magic, it is done. I don't need to beg or ask twice. It is truly impressive and a joy for me as a supervisor. They make me look good.
When combined with our first MFA class, the total enrollment on campus is 440. Last year at the start of fall, the enrollment was 336 so we have 100 more students on campus this fall. That is truly amazing for a school our size. The most impressive stat is that nearly 50% of all students in classes this fall are new to the campus! And not only is this class huge but they are the most talented we have ever had and represent 28 states and 3 foreign countries.
The weird thing is now we need to really focus on next year's class.....off to Montana in 2 weeks.
