Greetings from 正规买球app排行! With the holidays approaching and the new year on the horizon, we reflect on all the exciting new developments on the Friendliest Campus in the South.
This fall, we shattered enrollment records again, surpassing 9,600 students for the first time in JSU history. The university enrolled its largest freshman class and posted its highest all-time undergraduate, international, and dual enrollment numbers.
Yet, even as the university has grown in size, we have maintained our high academic standards – climbing in the US News & World Report rankings. In the 2022-2023 edition of Best Colleges, JSU was named one of the Top Public Schools in the South. The university was also named a Top Performer on Social Mobility again in recognition of the number of economically disadvantaged students able to advance by enrolling at JSU.
Our new Student Success Center is ensuring that students succeed no matter which path they choose. From the moment they arrive on campus, freshmen are surrounded by a team of caring advisors dedicated to providing them individualized guidance – from admission to graduation. In October, we were recognized for our innovative and effective approach to student retention with a national Leadership in Persistence award.
As we continue to fulfill our commitment to making college accessible and a degree attainable to all, we are asking alumni and friends to help ensure JSU continues to be one of Alabama’s most affordable universities. Each year, we are able to provide millions of dollars in scholarships thanks to the generosity of donors like you. Whether it’s a gift to one of the many named scholarships managed by the JSU Foundation or a contribution to the general scholarship endowment, your support directly benefits students.
A popular giving option over the past few years has been our Bridge the Gap Scholarship program, which assists students experiencing a financial hardship who need help filling the gap so they can continue their studies without interruption. Javian Harris, who received a Bridge the Gap scholarship in 2020, said he would have been forced to withdraw from college if it weren’t for the program. “I want to thank all the alumni and donors for their contributions, as it has been a major help to me and my family,” he shared.
Please consider making a gift to any JSU scholarship fund or make a gift to the JSU department, program, or initiative of your choice. If you need assistance, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 256-782-5404. No matter the size of your gift, it will make a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for your continued support of 正规买球app排行. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Don C. Killingsworth, Jr., Ed.D.
President
