\u2018Tis the season for open houses! Colleges and universities across the country often hold open house events during the fall to give prospective students and their families a chance to visit campus, learn more about their program of interest, and get a taste of student life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We held two on-campus open houses this year at the end of\nOctober. We also put on a live virtual open house to give students more\nopportunities to learn about UNE. If you didn\u2019t make it to any of these events,\nor if you just want to learn more about them, you\u2019ve come to the right place.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-Campus Open Houses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were fortunate to have two beautifully bright, clear and crisp days for our two on-campus events. The day began with lots of excitement. Tour guides and student ambassadors greeted prospective students and their families at the doors of our Alfond Forum<\/a>, checking them in for the day and giving them their trusty packet of information. Families had the option to stay in the lobby to mingle or move into the gym to sample some tasty treats and enjoy a cup of coffee before our welcome presentation began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 9 a.m., we kicked off the day by playing our Day in the Life video<\/a> (definitely a must-see if you haven\u2019t checked it out yet). Then, Scott Steinberg, our VP of Admissions, introduced President Herbert for his opening remarks. If you haven’t heard, our President was named one of the “Top 20 Higher Education Presidents to Follow on Social Media<\/a>.” You can follow him at @james.herbert<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the President\u2019s welcome, Scott went back on stage to offer advice to prospective students on their college essay. Throughout his admissions career, Scott has read some great and some not-so-great essays. He graciously shared some of the not-so-great ones with the crowd. In case you missed it, feel free to check out one of Scott\u2019s blog posts about writing the best college essay. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just after 9:30 a.m., our Director of Freshman Admissions, Darcy announced the major presentations. Each major was called and led by a tour guide to a designated location on campus. This gave everyone the opportunity to learn about their major of interest, meet current faculty, and get all their questions answered. From medical biology and marine sciences, to animal behavior and psychology, you can take a look at our program offerings here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following each academic session, visitors had the option of choosing from a variety of different sessions before their afternoon lunch. They could attend another academic session, watch a clinical simulation demonstration<\/a>, listen to a financial aid<\/a> or an admissions presentation, or take a tour of campus<\/a>. Lots to see, lots to do! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day ended with a tasty lunch and a chance to win some pretty sweet giveaways (follow @uneadmissions<\/em> on social to see our winners!). The second day ended with another great lunch, as well as an option for guests to watch a football game or check out a women\u2019s rugby game (or both). The games had wonderful turnouts and gave our guests a chance to experience the Nor\u2019easters<\/a> in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Open House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our virtual event, we began the event with a short presentation from one of our admissions counselors, Seth Semmelrock and a staff member from housing and student life, Will Johnson. They spoke about UNE\u2014 from academic programs<\/a> and research opportunities<\/a> to housing options <\/a>and campus lif<\/a>e<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the presentation, we played a quick video tour of\ncampus and then had a student panel join the livestream to help answer\nquestions from our viewers. We were asked so many great questions and were\nhappy to see how curious our viewers were about UNE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didn\u2019t get a chance to view the live event? Good news! You can watch the event on your own time here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any prospective student and their family who attended an\non-campus open house or a virtual one (or both), we thank you! We hope you\nenjoyed your time learning about UNE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t gotten a chance to visit us yet, head over to our visits page<\/a> to sign up for an upcoming campus tour or event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions about UNE? Feel free to reach out to us at (800) 477-4863 or admissions@une.edu<\/a>. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you on campus soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
