Moravian College Welcomes Record-Breaking Incoming Class With the 2015-2016 academic year off to a great start, the Admission Office at Moravian College reports we welcomed 526 new freshmen and 94 transfers, for a total of 619 new students for the fall 2015 semester—the most in our history. Admissions far exceeded its goal for undergraduate students and increased enrollment by more than 25% over the previous year. The incoming group is not only the largest in the College’s history, it is also extremely well-prepared for the academic rigor at Moravian College. “The Class of 2019 is a special group of ‘Hounds,’” said Steven Soba, vice president for enrollment management. “In our 274-year history, they are easily one of the most ready, able and enthusiastic classes we have ever enrolled. It will be our honor to be a part of their continued educational experience and help them work toward achieving their dreams.” “The entire Moravian College community is thrilled that our newest Greyhounds have joined the family,” added Scott Dams, executive director for admission. “This incoming class reflects the character, diversity and academic quality that the College prides itself on.”
