Re: Enrollment Updates

Of the overall enrollment, Western has 6,763 students in Macomb.   And that's what I meant about the number being somewhat tricky to calculate...different numbers depending on your definition. Per the Registrar, there's 4,110 in-person Macomb students and 3,112 online/extension students. A number o...

Re: Enrollment Updates

has there been a push for international students, or any idea why the record number   yes, that is the President's primary focus. 15% of our student population is international.   And we don't do "in-state" and "out-of-state" tuition...we do "US" and "internationa...

Last I knew, the Voice only published from Monday through Friday. Meaning the high school football scores wouldn't be available in a timely fashion at all. It's a far cry from what I grew up with - The Macomb Daily Journal. It was a small town newspaper, sure, and didn't compete with the Tribute or...
