East Central College Enrollment Expected To Dip This Summer
East Central college enrollment for the summer session is expected to be higher than some officials predicted but overall down from last year. Registrar Harvey Faust estimates between 600 and 700 students will enroll by week’s end. Most enrollment should be complete by Tuesday afternoon, with transfers arriving later as other state schools finish their terms. About 190 spring high school graduates will enroll, with roughly 50 boys and as many girls, and draft considerations could tilt toward male students. Last summer drew 1,100 students, a figure not expected to recur, while about 100 graduate students will assist with enrollment and campus activities, including former students returning to teach during winter months.
