Accepted Students Day, April 2008- Geoff Bowman

It is time once again for Junior Jump Start, the spring open house sponsored by Admissions. This year’s program will be held Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day), and more than 500 visitors – some 200 students and their families – are expected on campus as they begin their college search and application process as members of the Class of 2013. 

They’ll be treated to an array of information, including remarks about the admissions process, financial aid tips and an overview of Union’s engineering and science offerings. Also in the mix are tours and a session on writing memorable college essays and making an impact during the college interview.  

Just for parents, there are tips on surviving the college search.

How can you help? The Admissions staff needs faculty and staff volunteers for the noon luncheon at Memorial Fieldhouse. Faculty members, in particular, can help staff academic division tables and represent their departments. Volunteers are also welcome to attend breakfast at registration in the Reamer Campus Center at 8 a.m. and meet with visitors then. 

To sign up, contact Lilia Tiemann at tiemannl@union.edu.
