How do I know what to do throughout the day outside of class?
Follow your academic department of interest throughout the day. Attend the academic session, lunch and any additional opportunities to experience as much time with your potential future major as possible. If you aren't sure what you want to major in, feel free to select a few different tracks to follow, or feel free to split up from your guests and attend different sessions as well.

Lunch is free to all guests attending the Spotlight Day. Lunch time depends on your academic department (some eat at 11 am and others at 12 pm based upon the rest of their schedule). Lunch tables are hosted by your academic department faculty and/or current students so look for your department's reserved table and enjoy!
What information will be provided during the Admissions presentation?
Admissions presentations cover the application process, scholarship information, majors, campus opportunities and basic financial aid information.
How will I navigate around campus throughout the day?
Admissions staff will guide everyone to their first sessions after the opening session. After that, staff are available throughout campus to help point you in the right direction to get there on your own. Pick up a campus map at the Ask Us table or use the interactive map in the too.
Can I go on a campus tour?
Yes! Full campus walking tours are available at 1, 2 and 3 pm. Full campus tours are led by a current student and take about 60 minutes. Tours explore academic buildings, the library, student union, residence hall, fitness center and more!
What does the Wrap up entail?
The Wrap up is a great opportunity to connect with your admissions counselor. Counselors are assigned based upon your high school and we even color code things to make it easier. Look for the counselor with the same color lanyard and balloons that you have! You will also be able to chat with current students while you enjoy end of the day snacks and pick up your free t-shirt!
What if I want to meet with an athletic coach today?
If you are interested in athletics at 蜜桃影像, please fill out the form prior to your visit and reach out to the coach on your own to schedule a time. Due to the packed schedule of the day, admissions is unable to plan additional meetings for you, but if your scheudle allows and the coach is available, then feel free to plan on your own. Generally speaking, after 2 pm works best.
