LARGE CROWD OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND
PARENTS TO ATTEND FALL OPEN HOUSE AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
LINCOLN
UNIVERSITY, PA ~ Lincoln University will hold its annual
Fall Open House at 9 a.m. on Friday, October 26 in Manuel
Rivero Hall.
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 Michael Taylor, director
of admissions, Open House has become a popular attraction. Last
year, for example, the event set an attendance record as
more than 800 students visited the campus.
Taylor expects
that figure to increase this year due in part to the interest
generated by the university’s announced
enhancement of campus life with the revival of football and
the establishment of five new academic centers of excellence
that include 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
