Bustling Summer Brought More 'Students' to Campus Summer on campus was more lively than in recent years due to an effort to better use campus facilities year round. The summer session, for instance, attracted 295 students, the most since 1974. Adult meetings and teen camps also contributed to the largest summer conference schedule in at least five years, according to Kathy Ulliman, associate director of the student center. She estimated the total participation in summer programs at about 3,200 people. That increase was a result of more aggressive marketing, particularly to teenage groups, offering the university not just a boost in income, but also an opportunity to introduce potential students to the qualities of Wittenberg. Wittenberg was one of only three private schools chosen by the state of Ohio to host the Governor's Summer Institute, an enrichment program for gifted students. The campus also enjoyed hosting the WISE academic camp, Upward Bound, as well as athletic and music camps. The heightened summer activity also provided summer jobs for at least 12 Wittenberg students, who provide 24-hour staffing of residence halls and provide tours and other assistance for summer campers. The increase in the summer population on campus helps fulfill a board mandate to make fuller use of campus facilities and increase revenue to the university. Revenue for the summer academic session alone was up 10.6 percent, reaching $600,000 for the first time, said Paul Parlatto, dean of the School of Community Education.
