DU Update From The Chancellor

I received a letter yesterday from Chancellor Coombe about the current status of the University of Denver. I'm fairly certain that I'm on a mailing list and not because he's a regular reader of LetsGoDU.


Here are some of the highlights...

• DU will welcome 1,140 new Freshman out of 5,800 applicants this Fall.

• There will be a new "University Writing Program" for first year students. All writing classes will enroll 15 or fewer students.

• 550 undergraduates will study abroad this year. Nationally, just 1% of students study overseas, but at DU 50% study abroad for at least one term.

• At the graduate level, the Daniels College of Business is strong, the College of Education is growing and Graduate School of International Studies continues to grow. Enrollment at the Strum School of Law will be lower this year.
  

• The former President of Poland, Aleksander Kwasniewski will be a visiting scholar this Fall.

• A new residence facility, Nagel Hall & a 600 car parking structure are under construction. Nagel Hall will replace the Pioneer & Skyline apartments in the middle of the campus.

• Finally, Chancellor Coombe encourages alumni to stay active and share your energy and expertise with the University. He doesn't mention Hockey Blogs, so I'm not sure if I'm helping or hurting the University. Stay tuned.
