Enrollment Update
Fall 2009 enrollment on Indiana Wesleyan University's Marion campus is up 1.4 percent from a year ago. Enrollment in Marion has increased 22.3 percent over the last five years. There are 3,245 students enrolled this fall, in what once comprised the College of Arts and Sciences as it was organized in past years, compared to 3,201 in 2008. This will be the final time we will compare these numbers in this manner. Also noteworthy is the number of commuter students on the Marion campus is the largest ever, generally indicates a higher number of local students.
IWU's overall 2009 enrollment has decreased by 97 students. Total enrollment this year stands at 15,345, compared to 15,442 a year ago.
Over the past five years, however, IWU's overall enrollment has grown by 34.5 percent.
Because of IWU's recently completed academic restructuring, statistical comparisons or final enrollment number breakdowns for the various academic divisions of the University need to be coordinated with Associate Provost, Dr. Don Sprowl. Please contact Dr. Sprowl for the specific information.
As you know, the 2008 academic structure consisted of three colleges. The 2009 academic structure consists of two colleges – the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Adult and Professional Studies, the Graduate School, the School of Nursing as well as the newly formed Seminary.
The Aberdeen IronBirds have not been an offensive juggernaut this year, but there is nothing to take away from Brandon Moore's no-hitter. In game one of a doubleheader, he stole the show, no-hitting the IronBirds. Check out -- http://orioles.scout.com/2/891334.html

WHERE? Henry West Banquet Hall – drop by as you can!
After almost 22 years of service to Indiana Wesleyan University we are celebrating her retirement!
It is with great pride and joy that the President’s Office invites all of campus to share a special day in our lives as we honor Mary Ellen.
Bring your old photos, your memories, and a great story to tell!
As you can see Mary Ellen has had a most lustrous career!
Mary Ellen was born in Coshocton, Ohio, into a minister’s home. She received her high school diploma from Colonel White High School in Dayton, Ohio, in June 1961. Mary Ellen attended Central Wesleyan College (Southern Wesleyan), South Carolina, as an Elementary Education major (1961-1964 – 1st semester). She transferred to and attended Marion College (Indiana Wesleyan University), Marion, Indiana, 2nd semester, 1964. She worked for Mullane’s Candy Company at their “candy bar” in a tea room, Cincinnati, Ohio. She worked as secretary to the Marketing Manager of the Wesleyan Publishing House for 3 years.
From October 1967 – August 1969 she worked as a clerk for Ohio Bell Telephone Co. Film Library in Columbus, Ohio. Mary Ellen worked for The Wesleyan Church Headquarters as Executive Secretary for one of four General Superintendents for just over 17 years (April, 1970-August, 1987). Total years at The Wesleyan World Headquarters was just over 20 years (adding in the 3 ½ years as secretary to the Marketing Manager of Wesleyan Publishing House). When the decision was made by The Wesleyan Church to locate to Indianapolis, she resigned from her position.
Mary Ellen has worked as an executive assistant at IWU since August 1987 (almost 22 years) as Division Secretary for the Division of Religion and Philosophy and personal secretary to the division chair (August 1987-June 1988); and as executive assistant to the President (June 26, 1988-June 30, 2009).
