In their April meeting, the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees discussed enrollment, student mental health and facilities projects ahead of impending budget cuts.
University officials are projecting domestic student enrollment to rise for the third year in a row and is expected to be the largest year-over-year increase in domestic enrollment since the 2009-2010 academic year.
In the time allotted for public comment, CMU sophomore Aims Coston shared her concerns for how the university supports students struggling with mental health.
After the meeting concluded, Denise Williams-Mallett, the Board chair, applauded Coston for coming forward.
"What she's saying is spot on or in line with what was shared in our committee reports yesterday,” Mallett said. “I'm glad she had the conversation, [and] what that does is put a laser focus on the work that we are doing, plan to do, and will continue to do to uplift students. And we've made the investments to do that.”
