RECORD ENROLLMENT TOPS 4,000

The growth continues at the University, where total enrollment on the main campus has topped 4,000 for the first time, and full-time freshman enrollment has increased 75 percent in just a decade. Mark Weigand, the University’s vice president for enrollment, said the growth reflects a rising public profile for the institution, its faculty, and its programs. He credited the trend to a number of factors, including strategic use of financial aid, student demand for small classes, the individual attention students receive from faculty and staff, high scores in national rankings, and simple word- of-mouth about the University’s assets. Here are some 2004 enrollment highlights: Total enrollment (undergraduate and graduate) is 4,116, an increase of 310 over last fall. Graduate enrollment is 984, an increase of 135. The School for Adult Learning enrollment increased by 40 to 734. Full-time undergraduate Day Division enrollment is 2,167, an increase of 127. Full-time freshman enrollment was 677, compared with 610 last fall. The number of African-American freshmen increased by 53 percent and represent 10.8 percent of the freshman class “Distinct Admits” increased by 15 percent in the freshman class and included a record number of Dean’s Scholars.

President Jerry Israel spoke to Westfield (Ind.) High School students and families recently on the occasion of the school’s Evening of Excellence. “It occurred to me that I might do well to get advice,” he told them, “from some of the first-year students I teach at the University in a course called the New Student Experience. I asked them what surprised them most about college, what pleased them, what challenged them, and what insights they wished someone had shared with them a year ago. They had a lot to say—so much, in fact, that I decided to compose an ‘Open Letter’ to you from them. This letter is based entirely on their comments, and I read it now with their blessing. Here goes.”

“A year ago, we were seniors like you. After “When it comes to staying on top of your four years of high school, we pretty much had studies, remember two words and repeat them everything figured out.

Club and a 1989 graduate of the

University, and Associate Athletic

Director Matt Donovan at the

Homecoming football game October 9.

AAA Hoosier Motor Club offers special opportunity to Greyhound fans When it comes time to renew your AAA Hoosier Motor Club membership, the Department of Athletics and the Greyhound Club encourages you to consider moving your membership under the current University of Indianapolis account. When existing AAA members receive a renewal notice, they should include a note along with their renewal payment that indicates interest in being transferred to the University account. The University of Indianapolis district number (000-901) should also be referenced. Doing so will help support the University as well as its corporate partner, AAA Hoosier Motor Club. For students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the University who aren’t AAA members, the Department of Athletics can provide a University-affiliated application that will entitle prospective AAA enrollees to a discounted membership. By using this specialized form, applicants will receive a $10 discount on a new primary membership. In addition, Greyhounds fans who enroll with AAA Hoosier Motor Club prior to January 1, 2005, will receive four free tickets to any home basketball game this season and a pass to the Hines Hospitality Room. University of Indianapolis Athletics is in partnership with seven corporations: AAA Hoosier Motor Club, H. H. Gregg, OneAmerica, O’Charley’s Restaurants, Fitness by Koehlinger, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Methodist Sports Medicine.

Key improvement

A large Homecoming crowd enjoyed the Greyhounds’ first win of the season—and the view of the new Key Stadium surface. The field has been upgraded with the installation of an all-rubber infill, artificial turf system that looks and feels like grass but is safer and more durable, and can now accommodate football and soccer games and practices. Unlike natural turf, the field requires virtually no maintenance, and, because of its durability, it can be rented to the community for special events and bring in revenue, so the new surface will pay for itself in a few years. The Greyhound logo now dominates the center of the field. New lighting, provided by an anonymous donor, will make night games possible. The new sign (below left) backing the scoreboard is easily visible from Hanna Avenue.
