Some 150 prospective students and their parents are expected to attend the final Admissions Open House of the year on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The full day’s schedule of activities begins at 9 a.m. and runs through 3 p.m., with registration at 8 a.m.
“The Veterans Day Open House is an important one for seniors looking at Union,” said Matt Malatesta, vice president for Admissions, Financial Aid and Enrollment. “Often they are making their final decisions based on visits such as these. We depend on the entire campus community to welcome them on what could be a decisive day.”
Students will have the opportunity to sit in on classes; tour the campus; attend sessions on financial aid, housing and career planning; meet faculty and visit specific departments; and discuss Union’s many athletic programs and options.
A luncheon in Memorial Fieldhouse is scheduled for noon-1 p.m., with academic receptions set for 12:30-1 p.m.
In addition, visitors can get a firsthand look at Union’s Sophomore Research Seminar, which introduces students to independent research, from using the library effectively to constructing and backing up an argument. There will be a poster presentation in the F.W. Olin Center by students in the four SRS sections: “Opium East and West,” “A People’s Contest: Gender and Race in the American Civil War,” “African-American Protest Movements” and “Technology, Mind and Media.”
