s.iid.
The enrollment this year is
2.'t:i, an ini rease from last year
but "still a matter of concern."
Womar k said In 429 stu
dents were enrolled.
Womack's expectation is
"that a vigorous campus com
munity will continue to grow."
Until about IS years ago.
NCC drew about HO percent of
its student body from congrega
tions that had historically sup
ported the college. Now the
number from these congrega
tions is down to about -40 per
cent. w ith the rest belonging to
denominations "across the
board.” Womack said
"Wo see ourselves as a col
lege that welcomes students
from a variety of churches," he
said.
In addition, a goal is to in
crease recruitment of interna
tional students, Womack said
