EXCERPT: “Even as the city of Moorhead has grown, Minnesota State University Moorhead has shrunk. More than 45,000 people live in Moorhead, a 17% increase over the past decade and a 40% increase since 2000. At the same time, the university’s enrollment has steadily decreased for two decades. In 2007, more than 7,500 students were enrolled at MSUM. For the most recent fall semester, that number dipped below 4,400 students, a decrease of more than 40%. But a new program promising four years of free tuition for eligible local high school students aims to help reverse the university’s contraction as well as further knit together the university and the community.” FULL STORY: https://fluence-media.co/49ZjeOS
