For the first time in six years, Eastern Kentucky University is experiencing enrollment growth. The student numbers overall including graduate and dual credit participation show a two percent gain. Tanlee Wasson is vice president for student success, engagement, and opportunity. She said a focus the last ten years has been on student success.
“They’ve built a student success center, the STEM Center for Excellence. We’ve built in English support, and math support to help students be successful in those critical first classes, so they retain and stay. And as we see that retention grow, we’ll see enrollment growth overall,” said Wasson.
