美高梅博彩创下新的招生记录
Preliminary numbers strongly indicate a record new enrollment
has been set by 美高梅博彩 with 10,888 students
enrolled for fall semester 2006, an increase of 3.7 percent from
fall semester 2005. A record number of freshmen contributed
significantly to this growth. Out of the 2,059 freshmen in this
year's class, 838 students (41 percent) are from the metropolitan
Atlanta area. Within the 研究生 School, doctoral students
increased from 72 to 90 students (25 percent). vs上's final
enrollment numbers will be released by the University System of
Georgia later this fall.
"The attractiveness of vs上 is not only well known in our region,
but we are seeing an increasing interest on the part of North
Georgia and Atlanta area students," said vs上 President Ronald M.
Zaccari, adding that 153 Georgia counties, 46 states, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, and 63 countries are represented by
students at vs上.
"vs上's enrollment is expected to surpass 12,000 students within
five years," Zaccari said. "These increasing enrollment numbers
reflect the growing role 美高梅博彩 is playing in
our state and the overall economic, educational and social impact
the University is having on South Georgia."
More than $200 million in new construction is expected at vs上
within the next seven to ten years. On the main campus, this
includes a new 学生会 Building, residence halls, and parking
decks. The Rea and Lillian Steele North Campus expansion includes a
$43 million Health Sciences and Business 政府 Center,
dining facilities, and residence halls.
"We are being asked by the Board of Regents to plan for expanded
growth to meet the higher education needs of our state and region,"
Zaccari said. "vs上's Centennial theme, 'Building for Our Next
Century' embraces the University's commitment to remain focused on
sound strategic planning and reinforce the importance of its $332
million annual economic impact to the region."
Zaccari said vs上's strategic planning process has intensified focus
on enrollment and retention. Through the University's Enrollment
Management Council, great strides have been made in recent years to
improve student retention. Action steps are being developed to
support the University's goal to "intentionally grow undergraduate
and graduate enrollment through new students and increased
retention and graduation rates of existing students."
