Greetings Fellow Falcons,  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The older I get, the more I treasure each day because it truly is a gift.  And although I stopped making new year resolutions a few years ago, I am working towards making the most out of each and every day.  In 2022, I started a journey to take better care of my health.  Since that time, I have lost 100lbs! It was not an easy or fast journey.  It took time, discipline and commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same applies to our work at Nashville State during this season of Breakthrough! It has not been an easy journey. Yet, it is exciting to see the momentum building from the hard work and commitment to our Vision 2030 strategic plan. Nashville State is on the move! Below are a few updates from the Office of the President:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrollment Update <\/strong>\u2013 As of January 29, we are over 7,000 in spring enrollment! This is up 12.4% in headcount and 14.6% in FTE from the prior year. We also saw our largest increase is in continuing students, where we are up almost 500 students! This fall 1,084 students made the President\u2019s List earning 4.0 GPAs.  I believe the exceptional work taking place inside and outside the classroom is making an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dual Enrollment gains of more than 250 students and strong increases in Transfer and New students are also adding to the strong spring enrollment.  We are purging students for non–<\/ins>payment soon so these numbers may shift.  However, we also have the opportunity to add more students in our 2nd 7-week sections. Stay data informed by visiting our new Data Access Page<\/a>. Please contact Institutional Research if you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy Football <\/strong>\u2013 After three years, I can finally call myself a Champion! Just like my Ohio State Buckeyes who won the National Championship after beating Tennessee, Oregon and Chris Beldsoe\u2019s Fighting Irish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
