Enrollment at the Booker Washington Institute for academic 2006-2007 will top about 1000 students. Disclosing this in a telephone interview, the Registrar of BWI Ms. Gail Pony said of the number, about 300 to 500 are Freshmen. This number represents a huge increase compared to years past. Anticipating such an increase on campus, she disclosed that the BWI Alumni Association in Liberia is now negotiating with the UN military mission (UNIMIL) residing in the boys dormitories so as to provide additional living quarters, especially for the boys. Currently, UNIMIL occupies the entire boys dormitories, while the boys are residing in one of the girls dormitories. Ms. Pony said that the number of UNIMIL personnel have decreased, yet are still occupying the entire boys dormitories. She hopes UNIMIL will provide the necessary spaces for the boys.
