学生们在草坪上举着旗帜

俾斯麦,和 周二正式开学后, 9月5日, the new Class of 2023 will be remembered historically as a record setting one with the largest number of freshmen to ever enroll at the University of Mary. As of now, the University of Mary overall enrollment will be approximately 3,850. 在这些学生中,有568名是大一新生,打破了2018年533人的纪录.

The numbers are not final until early fall when the official total is submitted to the federal government. Vice President for Public Affairs Rachael Brash says not only is the freshman class at its highest, but also this year’s freshman class to sophomore class retention rate set a record at 83.4%,高于80%.4%. Those two data points make this the largest enrollment ever at the University of Mary.

“There is a very strong demand for the high-quality programs taught by world-class faculty in a Christian, 天主教, 和本笃会的环境,以非常实惠的价格,布拉什解释道. “That culture and those offerings are appealing in today’s world of public discontent, 高焦虑, 经济的不确定性. I think another important factor is we hear from our current student-body that Mary fosters a welcoming community environment their siblings, 父母, friends hear about and subsequently word gets around — that sense of belonging attracts more students. 他们的同龄人想来这里——不仅仅是来自北达科他州, 也有来自美国和世界各地的.”

校园里有50个州和20个国家的学生. 其中43%的学生来自北达科他州, while Minnesota and Wisconsin round off the top three geographic locations with 15% and 4%, 分别.  

“These are exciting times to experience our 增长 and be a student at the University of Mary,执行副总裁杰罗姆·里希特惊呼道. “Our record-breaking class is not only a testament to our vibrant and welcoming campus community, 但也要美丽, 增长, 和俾斯麦-曼丹地区的活力. Our two cities embrace the fact that our student population enriches the culture and provides a steady workforce grounded in faith, 值, 道德, 诚信对长期经济稳定至关重要. 我们的学生爱上了我们的两个城市和北达科他州, 他们有时会在校园里遇到未来的配偶, and many of these new students end up staying here — happy to begin raising a new family and call Bismarck-Mandan their new home. At a time when workforce is greatly in need this becomes a great support to Bismarck-Mandan, 我们伟大的州, 以及整个地区.”

New to campus this year when it officially opens on September 15 is an extension to the west side of Lumen Vitae University Center (LVUC) called The Lodge — that includes a beautiful lounging area for students with tropical vegetation, 瀑布, and terrace overlooking the majestic Missouri River Valley — the same view Lewis and Clark experienced back in 1804. 也, 九月开业, a newly renovated nursing facility on the north wing of the Casey Center providing the most advanced health care technology and four-times the number of nursing simulation experiences.

Phase I included a new all-female Roers Residence Hall; Field House for various sports and student health and wellness area; LVUC at the center of campus featuring The Crow’s Nest Restaurant with 24/7 dining, 躺的地区, and student amenities; and the state-of-the-art Hamm School of Engineering, 仅举几个例子. 

Phase II is currently underway with the recent expansion and completion of the Hamm School of Engineering. There’s more building to come in the near future with the anticipation of a new Welcome Center added on to the Benedictine Center for Servant Leadership building on south campus; an all-new master landscaping project throughout campus and a Marauders Sports Complex on the east side of campus parallel to Highway 1804 that will bring several NCAA sports onto campus; and the expansion of the Saint Gianna School of Health Sciences to meet the nation’s health care needs.
