LWC officials expect another record residential enrollment College will open newest residence building, Keefe Hall, for the fall semester. The dorm is named for a cherished Adair Countian, Carolyn Keefe, and is built on a site overlooking her beloved Walter S. Reuling Stadium. Ms. Keefe was an ardent Blue Raider Soccer fan. The $1.2 million Keefe Hall was built in response to the college's growing residential student population, which has increased by more than 32 percent since 2009-10. A record 1,145 students lived on campus last school year, and college officials expect to have more than 1,150 students living on campus this school year. LWC's overall enrollment in 2013-14 was 2,644, the second highest in college history. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Duane Bonifer COLUMBIA, KY -Lindsey Wilson College expects to open the 2014-15 school year with its largest residential student population in college history. That is a big reason why the 111-year-old liberal arts college is opening a new residence hall this year. The college will also welcome eight new faculty and enroll its first class of doctoral students. Lindsey Wilson's 2014-15 school year gets underway Monday, August 18, 2014, when classes for its Adults In Motion evening program begin. Traditional undergraduate classes on the A.P. White Campus begin Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Students on the college's fall sports team started returning to campus earlier in the month; international students and student leaders followed shortly thereafter. Opening weekend for the rest of the college's residential students is Aug. 16-17. Orientation for new students will be Aug. 16-19. Also beginning this school year at Lindsey Wilson is a doctoral program in counselor education and supervision, the college's first doctoral program. The 72-hour, weekend PhD program will prepare leaders in the field of professional counseling. LWC's academic program will also eight new faculty members. That gives the college a total of 113 full-time faculty, the second most in college history. One of the most visible changes that will greet LWC undergraduate students this school year is Keefe Hall, a new residence hall. Located on the west side of campus, Keefe Hall is on Blue Raider Drive behind W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall. The 9,200-square-foot residence hall -- named in honor of the late Carolyn Keefe of Columbia, who taught English at LWC from 1997-2009 and died in 2013 -- will house 46 female undergraduate students plus a resident director. The $1.2 million Keefe Hall was built in response to the college's growing residential student population, which has increased by more than 32 percent since 2009-10. A record 1,145 students lived on campus last school year, and college officials expect to have more than 1,150 students living on campus this school year. LWC's overall enrollment in 2013-14 was 2,644, the second highest in college history. "We're excited about this new living-learning environment for our students," said LWC Dean of Students Chris Schmidt. "Keefe Hall is a wonderful new living space, and it will add a great deal to our vibrant campus life." Schmidt said Keefe Hall should be a popular place for female students to live because it is located above Walter S. Reuling Stadium -- the home of LWC's men's and women's soccer teams, who have won a combined 11 NAIA national titles. "Carolyn Keefe loved Lindsey Wilson soccer -- she rarely missed a home game," Schmidt said. "I know she would not only be honored to have a residence hall named in her memory but one that is located next to one of her favorite places on campus." This story was posted on 2014-08-10 08:56:19
