The Admissions Office will welcome some 500 prospective students and their parents to the Open House on Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 10.
“Visits to campus are a very important way for people to get to know Union better,” said Dan Lundquist, vice president for admissions. “As one alumnus who recently visited Union wrote, ‘The tour of campus provided a terrific window into the life of an incredibly vital college. Kids seemed smart and engaged, and the facilities were to die for!'”
A prelude to the Open House will be Multicultural Weekend, with events scheduled for Saturday afternoon through Monday, including a Hale House dinner, social activities and discussions about academic life at Union. More than 100 student guests are expected, with more 50 faculty volunteering their help.
With hundreds of prospects, students, staff and volunteers on campus this weekend, it's a given that parking will be tight – so Admissions is asking members of the Union community to park in peripheral lots to leave on-campus spaces for the guests.
The next Open House is set for Veteran's Day, Monday, Nov. 11.
