University of Saint Francis Sees Record Student Enrollment

Fort Wayne, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - The University of Saint Francis (USF) has announced it saw an enrollment increase and the largest enrollment in the school's history.

At an annual Opening Convocation and Mass Thursday, the university welcomed 2,366 learners to the student body this fall.

The sustained growth from last year's 2,350 enrollment is largely attributable to generous financial aid packages to direct out of high school students, retention initiatives and the launch of adult learning options offered through a new Virtual Campus.

Associate Vice President for Enrollment J.P. Spagnolo said,”Our mission is not to enroll students, but to graduate them.”
