Retiring Stephens College president Dianne Lynch is starting her 16th and final year as president of the nation’s second-oldest college.
President Lynch will join 939 the Eagle’s Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning at 7 on the “CEO Roundtable” program. Stephens has welcomed its largest undergraduate class in a decade, with its fall class up 60 percent from last fall. Lynch credits the big jump in undergraduate enrollment to the college’s adoption this fall of a “block schedule”, where students enroll in one class at a time, with each class running three-and-a-half weeks.
She also says the impact of a competitive sports program has contributed to Stephens’ growing enrollment.
President Lynch will also update listeners on the nursing program at Stephens, and she’ll talk about how Boone Hospital Center is doing as well. She’ll also discuss workforce development.
