FUTURE STUDENT NEWS WELCOME EDITION It’s not so far away. VISIT. Come. See for yourself. It’s the best way to get to know us better. PERSONAL VISITS Offered throughout the day most weekdays of the year, a personal visit is a great way to get oneon-one time with an admission counselor and take an individual tour with a student ambassador. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet a professor in your major, sit in on a class and grab lunch in the Capital Court. To schedule a personally planned visit, give us at least two weeks notice. To make the most of your experience, let us know everything you’d like to do while you’re here.
