Members of the community are invited to attend Open House at Loyalist College on Tuesday, November 2nd. The day has a full agenda of activities designed to showcase Loyalist’s campus and the wide range of career-focused programs available, many of which are offered on a part-time basis. Faculty and students will be available for questions at the program displays in the cafeteria from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the campus and take part in the interactive exhibits.
Cathy Crenna, Acting Coordinator of Recruitment and Special Events, highlighted a few of the activities that guests will find at this year’s Open House. “Our Culinary Management and Chef Training students will be presenting a cooking demonstration, complete with samples. Demonstrations will be conducted in the Nursing human simulation technology lab and Taylor, the infant high fidelity simulator, will be demonstrated in the cafeteria. The College radio station 91X will be broadcasting live in the cafeteria and free trade coffee will be provided by the International Support Worker program. There will be many contest giveaways and the opportunity to win $2,000 to put towards first-year tuition.”
“The fall Open House is a wonderful opportunity for secondary school students, teachers and the community to visit the College,” said Maureen Piercy, Loyalist President. “It allows people to research the programs they are interested in, speak directly with our faculty and students, and to check out our campus. There have been many exciting changes and additions during the past year including the Sustainable Skills, Technology, and Life Sciences Centre, and the new residence townhouse complex. Open House is a great time for us to showcase these advancements.”
“In addition to 1,800 high school students from across Ontario, we’re also looking forward to having members of the community visit our campus. With both January and September program starts this is the perfect time to explore the opportunities for people entering the workforce and for those looking to return or upgrade their skills,” said Jeff Macnab, Loyalist Registrar. “We have a full range of success services to assist each student in achieving a well-rounded and successful college experience.”
The provincial College Information Program (C.I.P.) will be hosted by Loyalist on the same day. Over 20 community colleges from across Ontario will have information available for visitors. The C.I.P. displays will be in the gymnasium from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
