Ronnie Hawkins Jr."Many higher education authorities have been predicting decreases in college enrollment across the country due to a smaller number of available students," said ASU President Ronnie Hawkins Jr. "I'm happy to report that is not the case at Angelo State.

Everyone involved in these efforts is to be commended for helping ASU stand apart from the national trend of declining enrollment."
