Students walk to class outside of MSU's Old Main Academic Center, one of the busiest classroom buildings on campus. For the first time in the university's history, MSU's student population has surpassed 22,000 with five consecutive years of enrollment growth. MSU announced the record fall enrollment numbers Thursday [Sept. 13] and President Mark E. Keenum attributed the continued growth to the expansion of student opportunities led by faculty and staff who are driven to make a difference.
