Large Crowd of Prospective Students Expected
To Attend Fall Open House At Lincoln University
LINCOLN
UNIVERSITY, PA. - (September
2006) ~ Lincoln University will hold its annual Fall Open House
at Manuel Rivero Hall Gymnasium at 9 a.m. on Friday, October
20, 2006.
Organized by the Office of Admissions,
Open House is an event that provides an opportunity for prospective
students and their parents or guardians to meet with university
faculty, staff, and students and to gain firsthand information
about the university’s
academic programs and extracurricular activities.
According
to Mike Taylor, director of admissions, Open House has become
a popular attraction for prospective students. Last
year, for example, the event set an attendance record as more
than 800 students visited the campus.
Taylor expects that figure
to increase due in part to the interest generated by the university’s
announced enhancement of campus life with the revival of a
football team and marching band. Additionally, the university
has established five new academic centers of excellence, including
biotech, materials and environmental sciences, teacher education
and urban pedagogy, business and information technology, mass
communications and a collaborative art program with the Barnes
Foundation.
“The Fall Open House is a major recruiting event,” Taylor said. “The
staff in admissions makes every effort to ensure it will be a valuable and
rewarding experience for prospective students and their parents or guardians.”
The schedule of activities is as follows:
- 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. Registration
at Manuel Rivero Hall.
- 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. Welcome Session
