SUMMARY: William Carey University is experiencing record enrollment growth, with about 200 to 220 more on-campus students than two years ago. President Dr. Ben Bernett attributes this increase to revitalizing campus facilities, including a renovated cafeteria, and a focused effort to welcome students back post-COVID. The university is ranked as Mississippi’s Best Value, despite higher private tuition, due to minimal hidden fees and provided textbooks. With a strong emphasis on nursing and healthcare programs, they aim to serve underserved communities, further enhanced by their presence on the Gulf Coast. Dr. Bernett expresses excitement for future developments at the Tradition campus.

William Carey University enrollment has grown while other state-supported universities are seeing a decline.

SUMMARY: In today‘s Mom to Mom segment, we share helpful hacks for busy parents. One idea is to place magnets on cups, allowing kids to grab their own drinks from the fridge easily. For treating minor injuries, frozen marshmallows provide a gentler alternative to ice packs. Shower caddies from the Dollar Tree can organize snacks for movie nights or tidy up fast food in the car, preventing spills. Lastly, cut stickers in half and place them on shoes to help kids learn left from right. We encourage you to share your own hacks on our Mom to Mom page for future features!
