Action is Underway

As graduation rates increase, so does the number of accepted students. Most of the accepted students are largely full time freshman students who need full time services like that of housing. As the colleges capacity goal remains the same since the late 80's, the needs of the students have recognizably changed greatly with in the last ten year. In the noted ten years there has been an increase of on campus residents and only two new dorms built. This year there is a record high number of residents living on campus in dorms, causing more these students to live in triples.

Future expansion plans are currently in the works to give residence more breathing room.The Vice President of Enrollment Management, David Eaton disclosed to me this week that that the college has just recently acquired 40 acres of property located next to the campus. “We’re hoping to build in short term, apartment style housing for undergraduate students, particularly for upper division students. That is not finalized; there may be more single undergraduate housing similar to the residence halls on campus now.” The future plans of expansion are consistent to the nature of the college’s prosperity.
