Just got word from BPCC that it's enrollment has surpassed the 5,000 student mark.
Enrollment has grown to 5,430 students this fall. The official enrollment count for this time last year was 4,665. That an increase of 765 students.
To put it in perspective, the college's first semester enrollment in 1967 was only 97 students.
So what do the numbers mean? Here's quote from Chancellor Jim Henderson.
"Record enrollment at BPCC means more students than ever are investing in their futures and changing their worlds. Record enrollment at BPCC means our employers will have a competitive advantage and our regional economy will thrive. We're celebrating, to be sure, but there are so many more lives we will need to touch before we rest."
It'll be interesting to see how many reach the finish line and if what one Ohio professor predicted will come to pass.
