"We set an enrollment goal each year and [enrollment] was close to where we'd like to see it," said Bryan Herrmann, UMM Director of Admissions. "We want to grow enrollment each year, but we want it to grow slowly, in increments."

Applications for next fall semester have already been coming through the admissions office.

"It is still early in the admission process," said Herrmann. "UMM cannot begin to admit students until after Sept. 15."
