We love introducing prospective and accepted students to Cal U! Join us this spring to see all that our University has to offer.
The University will hold a Spring Open House from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 28. The event introduces prospective students to Cal U or give students who have been accepted a chance to explore the campus.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. on the third floor of the Natali Student Center.
For more information or to register online, go to www.calu.edu/admissions/visit. Prospective students may contact the Office of Admissions at 724-938-4404 or email admissions@calu.edu.
According to Dr. Tracey Sheetz, dean of undergraduate admissions, Cal U has made a commitment to making its Open Houses and all campus visits more personalized and friendly, with a keen attention to detail.
“Whether you have 350 guests or one, you should treat everybody like there’s just one guest because this is completely about them,” said Sheetz. “As hosts we must be detailed, accommodating, informative and anticipate a guest’s needs.”
Following a welcome by University President Geraldine M. Jones, there will be admissions and financial aid overviews. A campus marketplace in the Natali Student Center’s Heritage Lounge is the one-stop place to learn about a variety of university services such as programs of study, housing and student life and transfer procedures.
Campus tours will include the residence halls, classrooms and departments, and facilities such as the Herron Recreation and Fitness Center, Vulcan Village upper-campus housing, and the Convocation Center. Students and families can talk with Cal U students and meet faculty members.
Each campus tour group will include at least one tour guide from the Cal U Welcome Center, admission counselors and other professionals from various University offices.
“This is another way to offer more personalized service and be able to answer questions or give our visitors accurate information,” added Sheetz. “This is not just a tour, it’s an experience, and if our guests walk away saying this was the best, spot-on planned visit they’ve had, then we know we did our job.
“Everything counts.”
