A total of 51,063 students enrolled in the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> ten-campus system this fall, down 1.2 percent from fall 2017. It is the smallest overall decrease in the six years following the great recession, when 东精影业<\/abbr> hit record high enrollment. 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa, is a huge bright spot, with a record setting incoming freshman class boosting the student body size to achieve the first increase after five consecutive years of decline.<\/p>\n

“We continue to head in the right direction,” said 东精影业<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong><\/a>, who also serves as the interim chancellor at 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa. “We have made great strides at 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa, and Kauaʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr> is another success story this year. However, there remains a challenge with the strong economy, particularly at our community colleges. Hawaiʻi<\/span> needs a more educated workforce and citizenry, and we have to get more students enrolled, keep them in school and graduate them on time.”<\/p>\n

Three campuses—东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa, 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> and Kauaʻi<\/span> Community College—saw increases in enrollment while seven campuses—东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo, Hawaiʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr>, Leeward CC<\/abbr>, Windward CC<\/abbr>, Honolulu CC<\/abbr>, 东精影业<\/abbr> Maui College and Kapiʻolani<\/span> CC<\/abbr>—saw decreases in enrollment.<\/p>\n
