UPLAND, Indiana - As universities nationwide experience downward enrollment trends, one small Christian college is celebrating its 180th anniversary. Tucked away behind Indiana's cornfields and country roads, something big is happening at Taylor University. From its NearSpace Launch program, a company started by a Taylor professor and now run by a Taylor graduate that sends satellites into space, to its now-famous "Silent Night" costume-filled basketball tradition, Taylor has developed a reputation that reaches far beyond the Midwest. The interdenominational Christian school has more than doubled its enrollment since 2021, growing from about 1,700 students to about 3,500. The university also maintains a 94% retention rate, according to President Michael Lindsay.
