MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hot, humid weather; shimmering sunlight on Lake Bemidji; and the sight o\ue000 boats skimming across the water could lead one to believe that Bemidji State vacations during the sum- mer, but such a notion is easily dispelled. The campus bustles with camps, con\ue000erences, and classes that this summer alone served some 2,000 people. In \ue000act, summer started early this year as we launched our frst May term, a two-week session o\ue000 13 courses. Also, some 680 students took summer classes through our online programs. While current students took classes, prospective students toured campus, talked with admissions representatives, and attended academic advising and registration days. Recruitment has been so success\ue000ul this year that we\u2019re hoping to enroll one o\ue000 our largest \ue000reshman classes in years. Amidst such hustle and bustle, we are \ue000ortunate to be surrounded by the beauty o\ue000 northern Minne- sota\u2019s resort-like environment that so\ue000tens the busyness o\ue000 our summer educational enter- prise. We look \ue000orward with great anticipation to the new academic year.
