that of the general student population (2.92). (Spring 2010)

that Finlandia's studentathlete population will increase 85% (from 178 in fall
2010 to about 330). Further, in thesame
period the ratio of studentathletes to the general student population is
expected to increase from 30% to 40%.
Recruitment
Reach. In fall 2010, 58% of all studentathletes were from outside of
Finlandia's five-countycore
