To kick off the assembly, Dr. Steve Theodore, Senior Vice President for Administration, offered a few insights into the upcoming semester. This year鈥檚 fall enrollment appears to be on track to hit a record high for the tenth consecutive year. Moreover, the incoming freshman class is set to shatter last year鈥檚 record of 754 by more than 125 students.
