It interesting that Walk On U is down overall despite welcoming their largest freshman class in history.

Where did they lose?

IUP had the largest increase in numbers but East Dennyburg had a higher increase percentage.

IUP is coming back...just not on the foosball field.

From a 2019 article:



So the worse is yet to come.

Adapt or die. Adult undergraduate students. Degree completion programs. Graduate students. Second career programs. Skill-based certificates.

Recruit the 17 year olds to play sports. At a school filled with grown ass adults. That's the only way to survive.

Bloom's number is down about -3.71% or 261 students.

From a 2019 article:

PASSHE is predicting a continued decline in the number of high school graduates in Pennsylvania, especially after 2025.

So the worse is yet to come.

Wow, that is a serious drop for a campus the size of Mansfield. Sounds as if they have some real problems there.

This was from July 2022:

In the latest board of governors meeting for PASSHE, leaders celebrated the system’s major increase in state funding and laid out its plan to grow enrollment by 20%.

What do you mean "spread around"? Commonwealth University is one school with multiple campuses. ;)

I only support Bloom.

I think he means sharing. The six consolidated campuses retained their separate foundations. Its still possible to designate a gift for nursing at Lock Haven but you'll ultimately be sold on having it benefit all three campuses.

[Horror Child]

"Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania (CU) has received its first-ever transformational gift. The $5 million gift from Ed and Julie Breiner, both 1977 graduates of the CU legacy institution Bloomsburg University, will support nursing education at all CU locations—Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, and Clearfield."

It was generous of them to include all the schools. I hope this isn't a trend where donations get spread around.
