GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The University of Wisconsin – Green Bay is continuing to push back against declining enrollment trends in higher education.
For the seventh year in a row, UW-GB is seeing gains in enrollment across its four campuses after a UW System preliminary report Thursday showed a three percent overall gain by the school.
Aside from general enrollment, UW-GB is seeing a 16% increase in the Hispanic/Latinx student population, a roughly one percent increase in first-generation students and a seven percent increase in local students.
“Access for everyone who wants to learn is core to our mission,” said Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Kate Burns. “Our workforce and region are in the midst of tremendous change and UW-Green Bay is rising by providing flexible educational opportunities that respond to those changes.”
Official enrollment numbers will be released next month.
