Lindsey Wilson College 2009 Fall enrollment: Record 2,341 "It's just a great place, and I absolutely love it. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the world." -LWC student SARA BETH VINCENT, of Cub Run, Ky By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson College Director of Public Relations COLUMBIA, KY - Buoyed by the largest freshman class in its 106-year history, Lindsey Wilson College has enrolled a record number of students for the 2009-10 school year. The college's enrollment is 2,341. That's a 17 percent increase over last school year's enrollment of 2,006, which at the time was a record for the liberal arts college. The college's freshman class is a record 568. "In an era when many colleges are worried about enrollment, Lindsey Wilson is blessed to have a record number of students," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. "That's a testament to our dedicated faculty and staff, who have built an outstanding college." Record number of resident students Lindsey Wilson's record overall enrollment also includes a record number of resident students. A total of 872 students are living in the college's residence halls and apartments, 151 more than last year. The college's resident enrollment has expanded so much that it forced the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees to approve construction on a new residence hall. Earlier this semester, the college broke ground on a $7 million, 186-bed residence hall. When it is opened next school year, the four-story, 44,000-square-foot building will be the college's largest residence hall. One of the primary reasons for Lindsey Wilson's steady enrollment increases over the last decade has been what Luckey calls an "extraordinary investment" in academic programs. Since assuming the presidency 11 years ago, the college's full-time faculty has expanded from 44 to its current level of 94. Lindsey Wilson has also added several majors, its latest two coming this fall: a bachelor of arts degree in fine arts administration and a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Gifted student body This year's student body is also among Lindsey Wilson's most gifted. The student body includes 24 Kentucky Governor's Scholars, 13 Rogers Scholars, 42 Bonner Leaders and 16 John B. Begley Scholars. The freshman class includes three class valedictorians. "The creation of an honors program has attracted some of the best and brightest students, and it's challenged them with one of the best faculties at any private college or university in Kentucky," Luckey said. One of those students is Sara Beth Vincent of Cub Run, KY. A 2009 Hart County High School graduate, Vincent was also a 2008 Kentucky Governor's Scholar. Vincent said she decided to attend Lindsey Wilson after touring the A.P. White Campus. "It's just a great place, and I absolutely love it," she said. "I wouldn't go anywhere else in the world."
