91¿ì²¥ is excited to announce the kickoff of its 2024-2029 Strategic Planning initiative beginning in November 2023. The initiative will help to outline a bold new vision for the university over the next five years.
Following a year with record enrollment decline across the country, the question on the minds of many higher education professionals was, will college enrollment rebound for the 2023-2024 academic year?
For 91¿ì²¥ (MVSU), that question was a resounding "YES" as the university experienced a 16.9-percent increase in its fall enrollment numbers, reporting 2,196 students compared to the 1,879 students enrolled in the Fall of 2022.
September 18 — 91¿ì²¥ is proud to be named a Fulbright Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Institutional Leader for 2023. Each year, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) recognizes the decisive engagement of select HBCUs with the Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship international academic exchange program.
