SPRING/FALL ENROLLMENT BRING FUN ‘DUCKY,’ ‘DEER’ CELEBRATIONS The Spring Semester 2024 at TAMIU was truly one for the record books... something to quack about. Students enrolling at TAMIU set a historic record for the highest Spring Enrollment in the University’s history: 7,940 students, a 5.57% increase in headcount and a similar 5.57% increase in Semester Credit Hours, upon which State funding is configured. In fact, things were quite “ducky,” and led to a special celebration hosted by late TAMIU president Dr. Pablo Arenaz at the University’s Acequia Fountain UNIVERSITY NEWS when hundreds of TAMIU-branded yellow rubber ducks symbolizing the thousands of TAMIU students were released in the Fountain. Throughout the month leading up to the celebration, TAMIU’s social channels were “quacking” with duck scavenger hunts, a dedicated website, fun teaser videos, and profiles of future engagement opportunities. TAMIU vice president for Enrollment Management Juan Gilberto García, Jr. said the enrollment gains are reflective of the broad range of TAMIU student support and resources available. And after Spring, comes the Fall of 2024 and even more impressive gains for the University. Students enrolling this Fall set their own historic record for the highest Fall Enrollment in the University’s history totaling 8,945 students, a 5.24% increase in headcount and a similar 5.28% increase in Semester Credit Hours (SCH), including a first-time-ever record of 100,136 SCH. If it’s Ducks for Spring, what would it be for Fall? Deers, of course! 9
