For Immediate Release

By Joan C. McKinney, news and publications coordinator

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Campbellsville University has achieved
a record summer school enrollment with 4,120 total credit hours taken. This is
a new record exceeding the 4,094 hours recorded in 2012.

 

Dr. Donna Hedgepath, vice president for
academic affairs, said, “We love to see students take advantage of summer
school at CU.  Not only do they save money, but they also have the unique
opportunity to experience more one-on-one attention from our talented faculty
and get a kick start on the fall semester or work toward an earlier graduation
date.”

Summer
classes are generally smaller and have a discount rate. “We are extremely
excited to see so many students take advantage of our summer class offerings,”
Dave Walters, vice president for admissions and student services, said.

Walters said, “It's a great way to move
quicker toward their graduation goal and ultimately they benefit substantially
from the cost savings. By taking one or two of our summer class offerings,
they can also take some of the pressure off of their fall and spring
semesters.”

Dr. Michael
V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, said Campbellsville
University's momentum is strong with new academic and athletic programs and a
new wrestling gymnasium in the works.

The new gym
will house the men's and women's wrestling programs.

“Campbellsville
University is an exciting place to study and learn - academically and
spiritually,” he said. As he begins his 17th year as president, Carter said the
university is experiencing growth, and there are great plans for the future
with Vision 2025 as the guide.

 

“Vision
2025 gives us the blueprint for our university,” he said. The top tenets of the
plan include: enhancing the integration of faith and learning across the curriculum,
preparing students for a rapidly changing world through innovative curricula,
providing excellent academic, student life and athletic facilities, promoting
“teaching scholarships” and community learning across the campus, centers and
programs and continuing to prepare Christian servant leaders as the university
increases its size to approximately 5,000 students.

 

Day
classes for the fall semester 2015 at Campbellsville University begin Tuesday,
Aug. 25. Evening classes, those beginning at 5:15 p.m. and later, begin Monday,
Aug. 24.
