Hope everyone is surviving the string of cold, crazy weather we have received over the past few weeks! We have been seeing a plethora of visitors to campus nonetheless! For those of you have braved the elements we hope you enjoyed your time at Western New England University! As we head into March, I wanted to mention some of the visitation options for students moving forward as they attempt to make that final visit prior to decision day, which is May 1st:
Campus Tour: Any student has the option of coming on campus for a campus tour. Campus tours are offered Monday through Friday and on select Saturdays. Students can register by calling 413-782-1321 or by signing up online at: https://www1.wne.edu/admissions/tour_registration/. Upon returning from your campus tour, you will have the opportunity to meet with an Admissions Counselor and/or speak to a faculty member on campus. Please contact the Admissions Office if you are interested in speaking with a faculty member so we can set up your appointment.
Open House: Currently, Western New England University is offering two Open Houses for students to close out the 2013-2014 academic year. The first Open House is on Sunday, March 30th and is only for accepted students. At this particular Open House, accepted students will hear directly from their potential faculty members who will provide mock classes, internship information, and job prospects. There will also be a clubs/activities fair, an opportunity to meet with someone from Financial Aid, and much more! The second Open House will be held on Saturday, April 12 and is open to both accepted students as well as juniors hoping to get a head start on their college search process. Please call 413-782-1312 or visit http://www1.wne.edu/admissions/index.cfm?selection=doc.28 to register for an Open House.
Accepted Student Day Visit Program: Any accepted student who is hoping to get a first-hand look at a "day in the life" of a Western New England University student should consider the Day Visit Program. In this program, students have the opportunity to shadow a current student for the day. Our goal is to try to match up based on the student's major so they can see major-related courses but students will also visit the dining hall, potentially meet with a faculty member and/or go on a tour of campus. Dates are available in both March and April and are only held Monday through Friday. Please contact the Admissions Office at 413-782-1321 to register for this unique opportunity.
Academic Preview Day: Students who are intending on majoring in either Pre-Pharmacy, Psychology, or Criminal Justice are invited to participate in our Academic Preview Days. Students majoring in Pre-Pharmacy and Psychology are invited to visit campus on Friday, March 28th to sit in on major-related courses, tour our state-of-the-art facilities, have lunch on campus, and hear from both current faculty and students about our program. Any student majoring in Criminal Justice is encouraged to visit campus on Monday, March 31st for their Academic Preview Day. This is a fantastic chance to learn more about these exciting majors hearing first-hand from the people who know best, your faculty and fellow classmates!
Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office if you have any questions regarding the visitation options here at Western New England University. We hope to see you on campus in the near future, and best of luck as you continue with your school year!
