  3. Are we ready? • The class of 2009 is projected to be the largest class to graduate from high school in U.S. history. • The population of 18 – to 24- year olds will rise 9% over the next 10 years, increasing to over 30 million. • The projected number of high school graduates will increase nearly 10% in the next 10 years, rising to over 3 million • Between 1995 and 2015, 20% more students are projected to enroll in U.S. colleges and universities, reaching 16 million. • Students of color will represent 80% of the increase in college-aged students between 1995 and 2015. • From: Noel-Levitz: “Enrollment Strategies That Work in Attracting and Retaining Students
