Officials report record enrollment pace, major gifts and campus projects
Summary
College officials told trustees they expect record new and total enrollment, described recent and pending fundraising including a multi-million-dollar alum gift and noted campus projects (baseball field, dorm bids, contemplative center) and hiring progress.
An institutional official provided trustees an overview of enrollment, fundraising and campus construction at the board’s May 12 meeting.
The official said new enrollment and total headcount are ahead of last year and expected to set records, and that the college is "ahead of pace" for incoming students.
On fundraising, the presenter said a donor connected through Tyler Fisher provided a significant gift and that college counsel and staff are finalizing a separate gift in excess of $6 million from an alum "that should be done in writing." The official credited recent fundraising events, including a campus golf fundraiser that involved new trustee Urban Meyer.
The report also covered campus projects: hires are nearly complete for recent searches, the baseball field work is expected to finish by the end of summer, dredging of retention ponds will begin this week, bids for small and large dorms are in process with large dorms prioritized, and the contemplative center may break ground in summer. The presenter thanked board members for support and closed the update.
