Covering the walls of the Admissions Office are hundreds of colored papers. Each paper has a cartoon figure and each figure represents a real person. It’s a way for the office to visually see the number of students who are enrolled, plus the number of new enrollments, according to Mike Sapienza, vice president for enrollment management.
The green papers represent new enrollments. The goal for next fall’s enrollment is 300 new students, and currently Bryan is “on target,” Sapienza said Tuesday.
While 300 new students wouldn’t normally disrupt residential life, next fall tells a different story. Not only is Bryan planning on having a large incoming class, but also retention is higher than expected, which accounts for changes in the dorms.
The biggest change is for Huston women’s dorm, which will host three students to a room on all four floors. Originally only fourth floor was to be tripled, along with second and fourth in the men’s Long dorm, but a day before room signups an email was sent out postponing signups and announcing the change.
