MSU Denver celebrates gains in enrollment and retention

In a welcome letter to Roadrunners, President Davidson cheers efforts to recover, stabilize and launch into 2024.

Dear colleagues,

We’ve recovered 
Enrollment for spring semester is UP about 3.5%.

We’ve stabilized 
Retention is up about 1%.

Now, it’s time to launch! 

I’m approaching the new year with pace and grace. We’ve done the preparation – now, it’s time to put the flywheel in motion.

This semester, we’ll continue the work of the student-success launch, optimizing student registration and advising, among other priorities. I’m doubling down on the value of higher education. Those outside our work need to understand why their support is crucial. We’ll continue to focus on employee engagement and development to ensure that you have the tools and resources needed to be the catalyst for Coloradans.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at the President’s Spring Update on Feb. 1, where we’ll talk more about how we’re approaching this launch and meet the new provost. Please register here.

The temperatures may be down, but enrollment is up! When we succeed, our students succeed and so does Colorado.  We’re launching future Changemakers!
I look forward to seeing you around campus.

Sincerely,

Janine Davidson, Ph.D.
President
