The increase in numbers is great, but it looks like there will be more <br>cuts soon, and at some point, U of I is going to have to cut campuses.<br><br>For instance, it is my understanding that there are about 40-50 <br>students enrolled down in the Idaho Falls campus. The Provost, Doug <br>Baker wants to cut/merge course here at the<br>main campus for classes with less than 15 undergraduates or 8 graduate <br>students. Well, using that logic, what about cutting and saving the <br>money that is now being spent on the <50 student campus down in Idaho <br>Falls?<br><br>Comments?<br><br><br><br><br><br>On Sep 9, 2009, at 1:14 PM, Tom Hansen wrote:<br><br>> Courtesy of Steven R.

day enrollment figures for the University of Idaho will be <br>> released<br>> this morning and will note the positive direction and the momentum <br>> that is<br>> building for the future. Numerous positive specifics will be noted<br>> including:<br>><br>> Nearly 1,800 new freshmen -- the university's largest-ever incoming<br>> freshman class. This marks the third consecutive year of increases.<br>><br>> A large increase in the number of transfer students, 733 or 9.7 <br>> percent<br>> from a year ago.<br>><br>> Overall statewide enrollment at the University of Idaho registered a <br>> 1.4<br>> percent increase over the previous fall, to 11,957. This marks the <br>> second<br>> consecutive increase for overall enrollment.<br>><br>> Increases at regional centers in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, and Idaho <br>> Falls.<br>><br>> For incoming freshman, the
numbers tell a great story about both high<br>> academic quality and leadership:<br>><br>> 45 percent of the freshman class boasts a grade point average of 3.5 <br>> or<br>> greater,<br>><br>> The average GPA increased to 3.43, up from 3.35 last year.<br>><br>> The average ACT composite increased to 23.64, up from 23.10.<br>><br>> 94 students who are former senior class or high school honor society<br>> presidents.<br>><br>> 21 new National Merit Scholars, for an institutional total of 66 of <br>> the<br>> prestigious scholars who are in the top one percent of the nation's <br>> high<br>> school graduates.<br>><br>> Enrollment success as described above is the result of a wide range of<br>> factors but alumni contributions are increasingly critical and <br>> valuable<br>> factors. Special thanks to all the alumni who helped with recruiting<br>> events, funded
a bus to Vandal Friday, worked college fairs both with<br>> recruitment staff or on their own, and successfully executed a<br>> wide-reaching phone campaign to admitted students. While everyone's<br>> program and service contributions are important, it's also important <br>> to<br>> note that successful recruitment and retention is fundamentally <br>> based on<br>> positive student experiences and ultimately on the success of our<br>> students. In many ways your conveying of your Vandal passion in every<br>> interaction and with every encounter is perhaps your most valuable<br>> contribution.<br>><br>> I would like to take this opportunity to thank the alumni for all <br>> their<br>> contributions to the institutional enrollment efforts and to <br>> especially<br>> thank them for their passion and commitment to their alma mater that <br>> they<br>> share in their
day-to-day lives. Enrollment success is just one <br>> measure of<br>> our university but it can serve as a reflection of our students' <br>> success.<br>> The experiences you share of your successes in the classroom, in <br>> research,<br>> on the playing fields, and across the range of out-of-classroom <br>> activities<br>> represent the building blocks for student success and the most <br>> valuable<br>> contributions you can make to the institutional enrollment effort.<br>><br>> Finally, a reminder that the enrollment effort, in support of student<br>> success, is an ongoing institutional effort. Even as we note the<br>> enrollment successes for this fall, we continue to plan and provide<br>> programs for next year as we look to build on the current momentum and<br>> positive direction. Specifically, there are two key upcoming <br>> university<br>>
events:<br>><br>> Envision Idaho, a major fall recruitment event aimed at high school<br>> seniors on Oct. 1 and 2,<br>><br>> Transfer Preview Day, a major focus on students seeking to transfer <br>> to the<br>> university, on Oct. 9.<br>><br>> Please share the links below with prospective students (or their <br>> parents)<br>> who would make great future Vandals.
