NORMAL, Ala. (WHNT) — Alabama A&M University is celebrating another milestone, as the school reports record enrollment for the third year in a row.
President Daniel K. Wims said the milestone is the result of intentional, strategic work happening across every division of the University.
“This growth is not by chance. It’s the outcome of a deep commitment to student success,” said Wims. “We’ve invested in academic programs that meet workforce needs, in the physical transformation of our campus, and in the experiences that make Alabama A&M a place where students want to be. As we celebrate our 150th year, we are showing the world what it means to start here and go anywhere.”
Alabama A&M is contributing the enrollment record to the university’s commitment to student-centered transformation, addition of new facilities and enhanced housing options, increased campus engagement, expanded scholarships, and innovative outreach.
“It’s an exciting time at Alabama A&M,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Braque Talley. “On campus right now, you see the construction of our new student amenities building. A new state-of-the-art facility is taking shape. The complete transformation of two residential halls will expand on-campus living. The continued enrollment growth is a stamp of approval from students and parents on all the work happening to advance the student experience at AAMU and is also a direct reflection of the dedication, strategy, and hard work of our enrollment management team.”
University officials announced that AAMU’s official student count for the fall semester is 7,808 – the largest enrollment in the institution’s 150-year history. A new student enrollment of 2,825 helped lead to an overall enrollment increase of 7.03%.
