IUP COUNCIL OF TRUSTEES HEAR ABOUT FALL ENROLLMENT, APPROVE MOVING FORWARD WITH REAL ESTATE SALE

At their meeting Thursday evening, the IUP Council of Trustees got an update on the upcoming fall semester’s enrollment numbers.

While specific numbers were not announced, IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll said that enrollment numbers for Fall 2021 look to be on par with the Fall 2020 semester’s numbers at this time.  Driscoll said that while things could change as conditions concerning the pandemic change, he did attribute some of the success to the toughness of this school year’s students.

Driscoll also said that reaching out to potential students by phone was also a major factor.

Also during the meeting, the Council of Trustees authorized university officials to move forward with the sale or transfer of the IUP Northpointe Campus building in Armstrong County.  There is no timeline in place for the transition of the property, but the building will remain in use for classes.
