Wise Welcomes More Students, Honors Faculty

Wise is set to welcome a record 613 new students in fall 2026, fueled by a surge in the Year in Wise program and strong freshman and transfer numbers — though confirmed enrollments dip slightly due to fewer international students. Dr. Drew Harris earns top honors with the Samuel R. Crockett Award for bridging Wise and UVA, including teaching there this fall. Meanwhile, Professor Donald Sorah shines with a statewide award, and Karen Carter’s faculty consulting term ends as a new member prepares to take the reins in the fall.
