Incoming Class Larger at Finlandia

The number of new students at Finlandia University is up this fall. Finlandia is welcoming 227 freshmen and transfer students. That’s 12 percent more than the 202 who began last fall. It reverses a three-year trend of declining enrollment at the Upper Peninsula’s only private University. Vice President of Advancement and Enrollment Lenny Klaver credits the uptick to a more aggressive outreach, and the investment being made in expanding the University’s athletic program. Because of the increase, Finlandia’s on-campus housing units are full this fall.
