Karen Chen, interim vice president for enrollment management, echoed Shrum’s excitement.
“It’s an exciting time at OSU,” she said.

“While enrollment numbers are trending downward nationally, OSU’s enrollment numbers are growing. OSU is a welcoming community and offers students
a life-changing academic springboard and the opportunity to engage in public impact
research. The current OSU enrollment trend is a reflection of the quality of our academic
programs, our dedicated faculty and staff, visionary leadership and the cornerstone
of the Cowboy family — our students.”
