Belleville, ON, May 1, 2023 – Loyalist College proudly launches Loyalist 360, an immersive half-day campus experience that allows individuals considering post-secondary education to tour the College, meet program faculty and discover Loyalist’s vibrant student life, first-hand.
With small group sessions structured around each of Loyalist’s three academic schools – including the School of Health, Human and Justice Studies; the School of Media, Business and Access; and the School of Applied Sciences, Skills and Technology – Loyalist 360 is tailored to participants’ interests, offering an intimate and personalized experience for future students to gain insights into program options, placements, curriculum, and employment opportunities to fit their career goals.
“Spending a day immersed in our supportive learning environment, surrounded by a caring community of instructors, mentors, and peers, is the perfect way to experience life as a Loyalist College student,” said Loyalist College President and CEO Mark Kirkpatrick. “From the moment students walk through our doors, they benefit from the encouragement, enthusiasm and industry knowledge that our remarkable faculty impart to each and every student on the journey to their career destinations.”
The Loyalist 360 experience includes dynamic hands-on learning activities – from a spa treatment with Esthetics and Spa Management faculty to a glimpse inside the Paramedic program’s state-of-the-art Emergency Patient Care lab.
Loyalist 360 participants will also have a chance to tour Loyalist’s newly renovated campus facilities and learn more about the unparalleled support services that guide students through every step of their education, including tutoring and counselling options, Indigenous Services, AccessAbility Services, Career Services, Financial Aid and more.
The next Loyalist 360 sessions will take place on May 10, 2023. Visit loyalistcollege.com/360 to learn more and register.
