Visit day draws some 400 visitors to campus today
Some 400 visitors are on campus today as part of College Visit Day coordinated through the Admissions Office. Yesterday, some 350 people visited campus
through the program that includes a campus tour, student/faculty/staff panels, academic sessions featuring the colleges, an office fair of support services on campus and an admissions information session. Optional tours of the athletics facilities and lab
farms are also available. College Visit Day is a great opportunity for prospective students and their families to learn more about our campus. Above, a UWRF tour guide explains the many flags displayed in the UC lobby to a group of visitors. Photo by Deb Toftness.
