Monday Memo June 24, 2024
Academics
Fall Enrollment | As of this morning, enrollment is up 6.4%, and student credit hours are up 6.9% compared to this time last year. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us grow enrollment for the fall 2024 semester.
Distance Learning’s Lil’ Hounds Summer Program | The Distance Learning Lil’ Hounds Summer Program at ENMU just concluded. This year’s program took children ages 7 to 11 on an adventure all around the world through the art of cooking. Chef Lisa Campbell and Chef Shyanne Sansom from the ENMU Culinary Arts program offered an interesting and engaging cooking experience. They gave them a brief history of each country from where the food came from and then hands-on experience in the kitchen as they guided the children in preparing the food for four days. The children got hands-on experience in the same classroom and learned to use the same knives, ovens, stoves, and kitchens as our ENMU students. Several said they would love to attend ENMU and study to become a chef someday. Thank you, Chef Campbell and Chef Sansom, for being such wonderful instructors!
To end the week, the children celebrated with outdoor activities and a “Hound Hunt,” where they learned about ENMU and ultimately found our mascot, Ralph! Visit the Distance Learning Facebook Page to see pictures of some of the week's activities.
