  • President's Report August 2015 It's Mid-August and Finally, The
    1200 We st Algonquin Road Palatine, Illinois 60067 Kenneth L. Ender, Ph.D. President 847.925.6611 847.925.6034 fax [email protected] President’s Report August 2015 It’s mid-August and finally, the temperatures have reached 90 degrees during the day and 70 degrees at night. Some refer to these times as “the dog days” of summer. I consider this almost as pleasant as Virginia weather! If you are a gardener like me, this is the perfect summer weather. I find myself harvesting tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, beets, and potatoes daily. Gardeners consider this great fun! Summer is now blending into fall. The College will soon be in starting the fall semester, and the garden will be a pleasant but distant memory! We approach the fall semester concerned about enrollment. Current fall enrollment is down as compared to last year. We are currently down approximately 10%, despite having the same number of applications for admission. We are also experiencing an increase in financial aid applications and packaging. The penetration rate for high school graduates remains very high. However, each senior class continues to be smaller. We also continue to experience enrollment declines in young adult and adult market segments. In part, this can be explained by a rebounding job market. Curriculum alignment that is attractive for adults is also something that is being reviewed. On the positive side, we have seen increased demand for our Fast Track programs; sufficient enough for us to consider opening additional cohorts this fall. While Fast Track still requires students to complete a degree in a little over two years, it is important to note that students are pursuing two to three classes each semester, thus they are considered “part-time.” The unique features of this program are attractive to adults because they outline a path to graduation, and classes in the sequence are guaranteed to run.
