Higher education is in a time of rapid and profound change.
The challenge for universities like Nebraska Wesleyan is to stay grounded in the fundamental values that have sustained us in the past, while, at the same time, to reach out and actively engage new opportunities that were not even on the horizon a decade ago. While this kind of balance is not always easy to achieve, it is crucial for our future success. And we are making good progress, as many of this year's accomplishments would indicate. This number is compatible with the current physical infrastructure on campus and with the demographic trends in this region of the country. In Fall 1999, we had an enrollment of 1469 full-time undergraduates, and we anticipate that this number will be slightly higher for Fall 2000.
