WABI, WVII report on record turnout at Accepted Student Day
WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) covered the University of Maine’s final Accepted Student Day for students enrolling in fall 2016. A record attendance was expected at the event, as nearly 2,400 prospective students and their family members had preregistered to be on campus for a day of presentations and tours. “As for confirmation of students enrolling, we’re up 16 percent in state in Maine and 62 percent out of state right now,” Joel Wincowski, UMaine’s interim vice president for enrollment management, told WABI. Jeffrey Hecker, UMaine’s executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, spoke with WVII about planning for this fall’s high enrollment.
