Suggestions for data points to update in Connecticut College entry

The entry for "Connecticut College" would be improved by updating the following out-of-date statistics.

In the infobox: 1. Endowment figure is from 2022. The current figure of $482.3 million is on the College's website (https://www.conncoll.edu/annual-report/) 2. Number of undergraduates is a year out of date. The article could cite the 2024-25 version of the Academic Fact Sheet: https://www.conncoll.edu/media/Academic-Fact-Sheet-2024-25-1.pdf (the 2023-24 version is cited for the current figure).

Under the Academics section: 3. The list of most popular majors is out of date. You could cite the most recent information (Class of 2024) in the Academic Fact Sheet referenced in #2 above). 4. The number of professors listed in the Academics section is out of date (see Fact Sheet) and also does not match the number given in the infobox.

Under the Admission section: 5. The data is out of date. Current-year data are available at https://www.conncoll.edu/media/Academic-Fact-Sheet-2024-25-1.pdf (page 9): 7,950 applied, 2,945 were admitted.

Under the Rankings section: 6. The Washington Monthly ranking is out of date (see most recent version at https://washingtonmonthly.com/2024-college-guide/liberal-arts/)

Under the Honor Code section: 7. The Honor Code was developed in 1922 (https://www.conncoll.edu/honor-code/); therefore it is 103 years old.

Under the Demographics section: 8. This section gives demographic breakdowns from fall 2019. Updated numbers are available at https://www.conncoll.edu/media/Faculty-Student-and-Staff-Demographic-Summary-fall-2024.pdf JohnDNugent (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done, the PDF that you supplied had only two pages, I reused the current citation
Done
Changed to "student-adjudicated honor code which was introduced in 1922"
Reused same citation for that as well
