Now that the Class of 2011 is set, the Office of Admissions is preparing to welcome more than 400 prospective students and their parents to the summer Open House Friday, Aug. 10, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The summer program features a more leisurely schedule with campus tours departing every hour and workshops that prepare students for applying to college. Sessions will focus on having a phenomenal campus interview, writing a great essay, making your application stand out and Q&A opportunities about the admissions and financial aid processes.
“Students who consider Union are bright, engaged, busy students,” said Ann Fleming Brown, interim vice president for admissions and financial aid. “The summer Open House works well for their schedules, allowing them time to explore the campus and introducing them to college life and Union’s diverse academic programs.”
Afternoon sessions include “Liberal Arts and Technology: Learn More about Engineering, Computer Science and Converging Technologies” and “An Introduction to the Leadership in Medicine Program.”
The day wraps with a closing reception featuring refreshments at Grant Hall.
Prospective students and their parents should register online at http://www.union.edu/Admissions. Advance notice is appreciated.

Open Houses are also scheduled for Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 8, and Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 12.
