Youngstown State University enrollment has reached over 14,500 this Fall making it the highest enrollment figure the university has seen in 16 years (1993). YSU remains the only university in the state university system to experience continued growth.The Vindicator reports:
“This is an incredible accomplishment for the university and the community,” (YSU President Dr. David) Sweet said. “Over the past several years, we have all worked very hard to develop high–quality academic programs that respond to the needs and interests of our students and the community and to offer those programs at a cost to students and parents that is extremely competitive across the region and the state.”
Also, President Sweet delivered his last "State of the University" Address, noting accomplishments over the past 10 years such as: increased enrollment, increased diversity among the student/faculty/staff population, strong finical strength and campus saftey, development towards becoming an urban research university, and continued physical campus expansion.
Looking ahead, Dr. Sweet sees a university building upon its existing Centers for Excellence which will lead to increased doctoral capacity, expanding the university footprint, renovation to building such as the Wick Pollock Inn, improvements to Kilcawley Center (student center) as well as creating of a new STEM College building, establishment of a campus beautification endowment, and working toward establishing YSU as "a destination university for student of the Tech Belt between Cleveland, Pittsburgh and beyond".
