Phillip Coffey - Be Gratifying

Finally reached a higher level of a opaque facsimile
Of what may be occurring during a shallow period
With less activity-slower, older-much less achieving.
Stoically, less embittered with my time- lapsed grievances.

CUT OFF all that steaming about trivial this and that.
'Fess up', take up some truths- never be all defying.
Life but a short season - 'yes, longer than most gnats'.
Don't hinder another - let exchanges with others be gratifying.
(Sent on my birthday)

Lindsey Wilson College celebrates all-time record enrollment

By Venus Popplewell
LWC Director of Public Relations

For the second consecutive year, Lindsey Wilson College enrolls a record-breaking number of students, surpassing previous enrollment records.

LWC exceeded its enrollment projections for the 2023-24 academic year when the college enrolled 3,925 students - a 26% increase over the previous year - an all-time high for the 120-year-old liberal arts college.

"There's a lot of conversation out there about the value of a college education," said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "As you look at the landscape of higher education nationally, very few colleges of our caliber are reporting steady enrollment numbers - much less record enrollment numbers. I'm proud of our faculty, staff and enrollment team on this historical achievement. The LWC family did a great job making these students feel welcome and will continue to do so as we look forward to the school year ahead."
