Another enrollment record has been shattered.
Spring enrollment has reached 6,645 as of Jan. 12, including 955 dual credit students. This is a 20 percent increase from Spring 2009’s enrollment of 5,552 at the end of regular registration.
“KC is a product people want to take advantage of, especially our dual credit programs,” said Trey Hattaway, director of marketing and student outreach. “Economically, we’re in a down spot and people are looking to refine their skills.”

Financial aid can potentially pay huge dividends for those who use it properly. Many people who have a college education have financial aid to thank for it.
On the flip side, financial aid can go swiftly from an investment to a mistake, sending students spiraling into a dismal financial future with little hope of escape.
With 78 percent of the student population at KC receiving some sort of financial aid, one would be hard-pressed to find an issue which affects more students. However, one would also be hard-pressed to find another issue where so much misinformation and confusion exists.
Ten years ago, the KC campus ran much the way that it does now. Teachers taught class, students attended class, the football team played, the band rehearsed; campus life revolved around a routine of normal day-to-day activities.
“Angels” then descended on KC.
In the fall of 1999, Raymond Caldwell, then head of the KC Theatre Department, made the decision to produce the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches,” by Tony Kushner. The play, first produced in May 1990, was the first at KC to give students a chance to act in a play of their own generation.
Dr. Paul Buchanan recently traveled to France to defend a scientific paper he authored on the asteroid Vesta, but today he is teaching a KC class on volcanoes.
Buchanan has spent much of his career studying Vesta which underwent volcanic and igneous processes very similar to those found on Earth, early in solar system history.
