Catherine Wood Enrolls at McMurry University

2012 Sep 6

Catherine Wood of San Angelo, TX has enrolled as a first-year member of the Class of 2016 at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.

McMurry University total enrollment for the Fall 2012 semester is 1376 students.

The new class reflects an increase in both out-of-state and international transfer students, a change brought on by McMurry's move to NCAA Division II this year that will provide a more diverse experience for students.

"We are pleased with the quality of this year's incoming freshman and transfer class, and we look forward to their development as student leaders on campus," said Jon Crook, Director of Admission at McMurry. "This year's new fulltime student enrollment is higher than 9 of the past 11 years and is the third largest in the past 25 years."

Offering a diverse academic curriculum to more than 1,400 students, McMurry University is a small Christian liberal arts school in Abilene, Texas. Students choose from 41 majors; education and business are popular as are the school's pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, law, and physical therapy. The three-week May Term gives students an opportunity to explore a subject outside their major. Through the Servant Leadership Program, students learn about ethics and develop leadership qualities. McMurry's signature Texas Semester takes students through Texas history and culture with hands-on experiences like visits from leading authorities that take place both in the classroom and at historical sites across the state. Internships with businesses in Abilene present undergraduates with the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge of the workplace in nonprofit and corporate settings.
