SIUC hosts open house on Monday

More than 300 prospective students and their families will converge on the SIUC campus Monday, Feb. 19, for an open house that includes both talks and tours. The event offers everyone on campus one of the many opportunities to help with recruitment and retention.

Check-in begins at 8 a.m. at the Student Center on Lincoln Drive, with an early-bird campus tour departing at 8:15 a.m. and welcome activities getting under way at 9:30 a.m.

An information fair, featuring exhibits by various academic and service units, begins at 10 a.m. and includes presentations designed for both students already admitted to the University and those who have yet to decide where they’re going. Other sessions will focus on financial aid, choosing a major and transferring from another school.

Some colleges and departments will offer individual tours at noon or 1 p.m.; campus and residence hall tours will be given at selected times throughout the day.

For more information, email or call Admissions and Special Events Coordinator Pam Wilkins at 618/453-2992.

The next two open houses are set for Saturday, March 24, and Friday, July 20.
