Because of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, Undergraduate Admissions will not hold an in-person synchronous Open House this fall. Instead, we will hold individual virtual department presentations with our faculty and staff. Please view this sample presentation to get an idea of what the virtual presentations will look like.

Please note:

• These virtual department presentations will be hosted through Slate, and training will follow for faculty and staff members who are participating.

• The Slate platform is user friendly and similar to Zoom. Faculty and staff members will also receive video instructions in the confirmation e-mail upon completion of the online RSVP form.
• Department presentations will be held on different days and times selected by faculty and staff members. All individual presentations will collectively account for our Fall Virtual Open House.
• As a part of this registration, faculty and staff members can choose one or two dates for their department presentation. Presentations will take place at 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. every day in October and November, and faculty members can choose one day each month.
• The presentation can be the same if faculty and staff members select two dates. Selecting two dates will allow us to promote to a larger audience as we continue to collect new student information.
• Faculty and staff members will be asked to upload the presentation as a part of the online RSVP form.
• A confirmation e-mail will follow with additional information after completion of the form.
• The presentations will be recorded and posted on the Admissions Virtual Visit page.
• The Admissions Office will be responsible for creation of all events, the promotion of events, and the entire communication plan. Faculty and staff members will simply be tasked with creating a presentation for prospective students and conducting the presentation.
