Prospective students and their parents are invited to upcoming Open Houses Monday, Oct. 8 (Columbus Day) and Monday, Nov. 12 (Veterans' Day) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Union’s hospitality helps to differentiate us from other colleges as high school seniors use these visits to narrow their college choices,” said Ann Fleming Brown, interim vice president of Admissions.
An Open House in August attracted more than 400 participants, and Brown said turnout for the fall events should be just as high.
"We’re expecting record crowds and I invite all faculty, students and staff to join admissions in welcoming these Union prospects.”
During the Open Houses, students and their parents will have the opportunity to sit in on classes; tour the campus grounds and facilities; attend sessions on financial aid, housing and career planning; meet faculty and visit specific departments; and discuss varsity, club and intramural athletic options.
Personal interviews are a key element of evaluating a student’s application and are highly recommended. Personal interviews are offered Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Feb. 1, and may be scheduled by calling Admissions at (888) 843-6688.
Prospective students and their parents should register for the Open House online at http://www.union.edu/Admissions. Advance notice is appreciated.
