Kansas State University is trying to keep a positive outlook when it comes to recruitment efforts.
At Wednesday’s Board of Regents meeting, K-State President Richard Myers shared statistics showing freshman in-state admissions are up a half percent at all campuses for the upcoming fall semester while out-of-state admissions are up nearly 15 percent. Myers says while those numbers are impressive, how many of those will actually become enrolled for the fall is yet to be seen.
“We’re ahead of ourselves for next fall right now but we’ll be getting close to the writing the check point here shortly. This is a good trend for us and you can see from where we’ve been, some of these reorganization efforts and strategizing differently are starting to pay dividends,” he said.
