Enrollment down, SSU executes plan for increase

OLIVIA KEELER STAFF WRITER

Sonoma State University has seen a decline in enrollment since fall 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in enrollment in schools across the country, and SSU was no exception.

While the local government continues to lift restrictions and in-person instruction resumes, the Strategic Enrollment team is implementing solutions to attract more students to Sonoma State.

A strategic enrollment management plan is in effect and has increased the number of students that visit Sonoma State’s campus for tours. Robert Eyler, SSU’s public informant officer, explains, “campus tours are at a record high, with 60 scheduled school visits for as many as 2,859 students and 431 families visiting our campus.”
