Open House at Western New England University March 9
Posted February 28, 2013
Western New England University will host high school students and their parents at an open house on Saturday, March 9 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is free, but advance reservation is requested by calling 1-800-325-1122, ext. 1312, or 413-782-1312.
Students and parents will have the chance to tour the campus, explore the breadth of academic programs, attend a session on the first year experience, learn about financial aid options, and chat informally with faculty, support staff, coaches, and students. A highlight of the day is a student panel discussion where current students share their insights on campus culture and first year transitions.
Prospective students interested in learning more about careers in social work, sport management, sociology, or computing are invited to a specialized information session during the open house. Anyone interested may sign up for the information session of their choice while registering for the open house.
