Between Oct. 21 and Nov. 1, 91亚色鈥檚 Glendon, Keele and Markham campuses welcomed hundreds of prospective students 鈥 many joined by family and supporters 鈥 for Fall Campus Day, an annual open house offering an inside look at programs, campus life and the 91亚色 community.
The pan-University events reflected 91亚色鈥檚 commitment to supporting students through every stage of their post-secondary journey by providing an immersive opportunity to learn about academics, facilities, residences, student services and the welcoming community that make 91亚色 distinct.
鈥淔all Campus Day gives attendees a sense of what studying at 91亚色 is like,鈥 says Yvette Munro, vice-provost students. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a chance to explore our campuses, meet the people who make up our community and discover the wide range of academic opportunities available. Events like this not only inform decisions about the future, they also show families the supportive environment that helps our students thrive.鈥
Each event began with welcoming remarks from Munro; Marco Fiola, principal of Glendon College; and Dan Palermo, deputy provost of Markham Campus. Attendees then engaged with 91亚色's campuses by connecting with professors, students and staff at information booths 鈥 including representatives from the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The day also featured a fair, admissions overview sessions, five-minute lectures, demonstrations and student panels. Guided tours of campuses, residences and facilities such as labs, studios and athletics spaces were also available.
Prospective students experienced Glendon鈥檚 warm, close-knit bilingual community, Markham鈥檚 leadership in work-integrated learning and Keele鈥檚 breadth of academic programs during the events 鈥 thanks to the dedicated staff, faculty and volunteers who brought the day to life.
