University leaders announced this week that the institu- tion has set or tied all-time highs for student numbers in almost 20 cate- gories, including full-time undergrad- uate students (1,624) and residential students in all programs (1,358). "These achievements are a con- tinuation of outstanding momentum from spring 2015, when we also posted more than 20 individual program en- rollment records," shared David Hawsey, GWU vice president for Enrollment Management & Marketing. "The record numbers help to offer proof that our programs are relevant and our academic quality is excellent." Among other all-time marks, records were reached for the fall semester in the Master of Arts/Education Specialist, Doctor of Ministry, Evening Undergraduate Education and K-12 Teachers Alliance Teacher Education pro- grams, as well as several of the University's health sciences tracks, including the Physi- cian Assistant Studies, Doctor of Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner programs. The GWU College of Health Sciences students are now receiving their education in a newly renovated 50,000-square-foot facility at the site of the for- mer Crawley Hospital on the western part of the Boiling Springs campus. The health sciences facility is one of many upgrades completed or in progress as the fall semester gets underway. During the summer the University upgraded its technological infra- structure, refurbished the O. Max Gardner Hall music building and updated its wellness cen- ter. Gardner-Webb is also putting the fi nishing touches on a new Brinkley Softball Stadium with a synthetic playing surface, and fans at Spangler Sta- dium will soon experience upgraded services as amenities are added to the facility's visitors side. Stadium Drive around the west and south sides of campus was repaved, and new sidewalks, lighting and a bicycle path were added along the roadway. As campus offerings and student numbers grow, Gardner-Webb leaders are also considering options for additional housing facilities on campus in the future, as the University is now at full on-cam- pus residence capacity. While GWU is welcom- ing a slightly smaller class of fi rst-year students to campus this year - 460, compared to 494 in fall 2014 - the institution posted its highest-ever spring-to-fall retention rates for traditional un- dergraduate returning students (87.6 percent) and new transfer students (100 percent), help- ing the University set the records for full-time undergraduate and residential students. "Gardner-Webb's blend of liberal arts and professional studies, its Christian foundation and its connection to the community are reso- nating well with our students and their parents, and that's evident through our enrollment re- sults," Hawsey said. "Whether for career fi elds or graduate school, we are preparing well- trained graduates with skills, knowledge and an attitude of helping others—not just them- selves—achieve success in work and in life." Gardner-Webb University reaches enrollment milestones Institution surpasses student records for Fall 2015 Semester GWU College of Health Sciences facility.
