Spring Open House This Saturday at Gannon University
Posted: April 25, 2014With high school graduations just a month away, this is a prime
opportunity to talk to prospective college students and their
parents about a timely subject: education and students' future
prospects.
At Open House, prospective students get a first-hand look at
Gannon's programs, campus and people. They will take in
departmental presentations across campus and enjoy campus tours
that this year will include new facilities such as the Student
Recreation and Wellness Center, now nearing the end of a $15
million expansion, the School of Communications and the Arts, which
is being renovated at the corner of W. Seventh and Peach Street,
and the Forensic Investigation Center on W. Sixth St., that was
dedicated on Friday. Potential students can also explore high-tech
laboratories and classrooms, meet with faculty and current students
from each academic discipline, learn about the admissions and
financial aid presentation and so much more.
The event formally kicks off with a welcome inside the
Hammermill Center at 11:30 a.m. when Gannon University President
Keith Taylor, Ph.D. will welcome visitors to campus. Registration
begins at 10 a.m., as does a campus community and resource fair in
the Yehl Room of the adjacent Waldron Campus Center, 124 W. Seventh
St. The first of two information sessions begins at 10:45 (the
second begins at noon) in the Waldron Campus Center, and the day
concludes with an academic expo in the main buildings used by the
University's three academic Colleges: the Palumbo Academic Center,
824 Peach Street (College of Humanities, Education and Social
Sciences), the Robert H. Morosky Academic Center, 150 W. 10th St.
(Morosky College of Health Professions and Sciences) and the Zurn
Science Center, 143 W. Seventh St. (College of Engineering and
Business).
