COMPANIES~ Meyer said he does not think TOWO~KFOR~ there is any correlation between the decreasing num­ ber of women's colleges in America and the amount of stu­ dents transferring from Saint Mary's. "The quality of Saint Mary's students and their capacity to succeed is completely inde­ pendent of the shrinking num­ ber of single sex schools," he said. Still, at a small school like Saint Mary's, losing students from year to year can be espe­ cially taxing, Meyer said. "Losing women translates into a loss of revenue for the school. It is offset a bit from women transferring in, but it is still a problem," he said. "What is more problematic is that the time and resources used in recruiting the women are lost." But Saint Mary's is transfer­ friendly, Meyer said. The school welcomed 38 new transfer stu­ dents last year alone. One of them was senior Courtney Johnson, who transferred to Saint Mary's last year from Ohio State. What attracted her most to the College was its size. "Ohio State was too big and I didn't know my professors. Here, my professors give out their home phone numbers," she said. "[Professors] are so helpful here and I know I am getting a better education." lf the College can boost its retention rate - and keep attracting transfer students like Johnson - overall enrollment will increase, which is a long­ term goal of College President Carol Ann Mooney's adminis­ tration. During the next three years, Saint Mary's hopes to increase the student body to 1,600 women. Currently, enrollment is 1,527. "If we have three consecutive freshman classes with 400 to 410 women, we will meet this goal," Meyer said. "However, we must maintain the retention rate we have now."
