We are celebrating on the Tabor campus.  It is official.  We have record enrollment for the second year in a row along with 5 new enrollment records set.  You can read all about it at tabor.edu
Here are the records:
  1. Total enrollment – 640 up 5% from last year
  2. Total FTE – 596 up 6% from last year
  3. Full time Students in Hillsboro – 504 up 5% from last year
  4. Total full time students – 521 up 5% from last year
  5. Number of Grad students – 22
What a joy to be part of Tabor College when God is smiling down on us.  It seems to me that we are experiencing a “perfect storm” resulting in unprecedented growth… the blessing of God, the hard work of many people, and the strategic initiatives that we have taken enabling this growth.  Growth is never the goal but rather the result of hard work, strategic decisions, and the grace of God.  My heart is full of gratitude to Him for the team of people that worked so hard to help make this happen.  It is a team effort of admissions staff, financial aid personnel, coaches, faculty, student life, and administration.  I also am thankful for the courageous leadership of former President Nikkel who chose to hire Noel Levitz to assist us with our strategies.  This has paid off for us in a big way.  Our student life staff and student success people really worked hard at helping students succeed.  This led to excellent retention numbers that helped us reach our record enrollment.  My thanks to all who had a part in making it happen.
