Good to see enrollment rising again at CSU...

Columbus State University has the most students enrolled in the 57-year history of the institution.

The fall 2015 figures released Thursday show CSU's enrollment at 8,440 -- an increase of 3 percent over last year's total. The university's previous record enrollment was 8,307 in 2011.

"To record an enrollment increase of 3 percent is incredibly impressive, and is a credit to the faculty, staff, facilities, community and programs we have here," CSU president Chris Markwood said in a news releases. "It's particularly notable since enrollment at colleges and universities around the country is largely stagnant and actually falling in some cases."

Markwood was the provost and vice president for academic affairs at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi before he became CSU's fifth president June 1. He succeeded Tim Mescon, who retired Dec. 31 after six years leading Columbus State.

Would love to CSU get to 15,000 students one day. They are setting record breaking fundraising as well.
