For the tenth consecutive fall semester, another Lipscomb enrollment record has been broken. More than 4,500 students are getting geared up for the semester that they all have ahead, a record number for the school. Lipscomb’s School of Nursing, the College of Business’ graduate school and Adult Degree Programs have seen double digit increases. “I believe that it is a great thing that Lipscomb University has been expanding for the past few years, especially if we as students and administrators are hoping for the school to gain more support at the national level,” senior Kenny Smith said. In addition, the university has gained an 80.5 percent retention rate with students returning from the last fall semester to this one. That is a three percent increase from the rate of last year and far above the national average of about 70 percent. “Having the recent increase of students this year is an incredible thing, in my opinion,” pharmacy student Brenna Thompson said. “We have the opportunity to bring more individuals into our community and be able to spread the grace that God has for us all within all aspects of our lives. It’s a great thing to have more people invested in what we believe and to eventually be able to share that with the rest of the world in the long run.” Photo courtesy of...
