’Tis the season for the college search, and Union is offering two opportunities for prospective students to visit campus and learn more about the College.
The Office of Admissions will host fall Open Houses from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 13, and Veterans Day, Tuesday, Nov. 11.
“Seeing is believing. Visiting Union opens students’ eyes to its possibilities,” said Ann Fleming Brown, director of Admissions. “Students visit and imagine themselves here. There’s no better way to select a college or to discover Union as a top choice.”
The November Open House, she said, “is the last hurrah for high school seniors looking at Union.”
Visitors both days will have the opportunity to sit in on classes; tour 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.
There also will be sessions on pre-med advising and an introduction to the Leadership in Medicine/Health Management Program.
Prospective students and their parents can register for an Open House at www.union.edu/fallopenhouses. Advance notice is appreciated. For more information, contact Lilia Tiemann, coordinator of event planning for Admissions, at ext. 6586.
In addition, personal interviews are a key element of evaluating a student’s application and are highly recommended.
“Although we can’t interview on Open House days, we’re always eager to talk with prospective students,” Fleming Brown said.
On-campus interviews must be scheduled by Dec. 15 and will be offered Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on several Saturdays, through Jan. 15. Call Admissions at (888) 843-6688 to make an appointment. Alumni interviews may be arranged in various locales by www.union.edu/alumniinterview.
