Growing enrollment is one of the strategic goals of the campus, and is crucial to helping generate the resources we need, according to Linda E. Brown, assistant vice chancellor for enrollment management and registrar. "These increases reflect a great deal of work by staff in admissions and other student services areas, as well as a strong commitment by faculty and staff across campus to accommodate the learning needs of our students, both new and continuing," Brown said. "This increase reflects also the fulfillment of our mission to serve this region with responsive, high-quality programs of study."
