Fall semester at Delta College began on August 24 with 7,819 students, a number that has administrators excited.

"Given the declining high school population, and the overall declining regional population, we are very pleased to have surpassed our enrollment projections by two percent," said Russell Curley, Dean of Enrollment Management.

The positive numbers can, in part, be attributed to Delta’s aggressive outreach strategies, including the new Downtown Saginaw Center which opened in June.

"We were anticipating opening with 500 students," said Curley, "but in fact, 624 people are taking classes in Saginaw. And, it’s not just existing Delta students taking classes closer to home, 264 of that group are new to Delta College. We’re thrilled with the community’s response to the new center."

"This investment increases access to higher education for students living and working in Saginaw County," said Delta College President Dr. Jean Goodnow. "The new Downtown Saginaw Center creates a pathway for more residents to enter the career pipeline."
