Lindenwood's Belleville campus set to grow again

BELLEVILLE -- Lindenwood University plans to add several new course offerings and hire 16 new employees in 2010 as part of a major growth spurt at its West Main Street campus.

According to Lindenwood Vice President Jerry Bladdick, chief administrative officer for the Belleville campus, the additions are expected to add 200 new students to the campus by spring. That would push attendance at the Belleville location to more than 1,500 full- and part-time students.
