University President

Through this correspondence, I am sharing summary information that provides a comparison between the current fall enrollment and that for the prior year. In terms of communication with the broader community, Nicholls is conveying a very positive message regarding that enrollment. The overall enrollment is down 13 or 0.19 percent. As we had projected a 100 student decline in the third year of transition to selective admissions, we do feel that the University has turned the corner so to speak. Additionally, the first-time freshman figure has increased by 7.6 percent, from 1,117 to 1,202. (more…)

As I enter my fifth year at Nicholls State University, I hold a deep sense of satisfaction with the work of the faculty and staff and with the remarkable transformation that is taking place at this university. I am particularly proud with the faculty effort that has built strong academic programs, and we all share in the pride that goes with that accomplishment.
