Classes started this week at Parkland College in Champaign. The community college has seen a slow, steady decline in enrollment over the last decade. 

Illinois Public Media’s Brian Moline spoke with Parkland President Tom Ramage about how the college is trying to reverse, or at least stabilize, that trend, and about this fall’s enrollment numbers.

In this web extra, Ramage discussed some of the construction projects currently happening on the Parkland campus.
