Niagara College is gearing up to open its doors to thousands of prospective students and their families at NC’s Spring Open House on March 29.
Taking place at both the Welland Campus and Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the College’s Spring Open House will offer visitors a first-hand look at the hundreds of innovative programs and applied learning opportunities available to students to prepare them for career success in a changing world.
“We’re excited to welcome prospective learners from across Niagara to both our campuses for Spring Open House,” said NC President, Sean Kennedy. “As the local labour market needs continue to evolve, so does our programming and Niagara College is uniquely positioned to educate, train and connect students with industry partners as they begin their careers. By joining us at our Open House, students are taking an exciting next step towards their future.”
Guests can visit academic displays throughout campus to chat one-on-one with faculty and students to hear about NC’s trailblazing programs and experience live demonstrations and lab tours. Visitors are also encouraged to check out the Student Services Fair, where they can learn about the outstanding supports offered to students beyond the classroom.
“Niagara College’s Spring Open House is the perfect opportunity for students planning to attend college in the Fall to connect with faculty, tour the campuses and experience NC Life,” said Dorita Pentesco, NC’s Senior Director, Marketing and Student Recruitment. “As Canada’s leader in applied experiential learning, there’s something for everyone at Niagara College.”
Spring Open House visitors are encouraged to attend the “Niagara College 101” information sessions where the College’s Student Recruitment, Financial Aid and Health, Wellness and Accessibility Services teams come together to share important information about applying to and starting at NC. Staff from NC’s Enrolment Services office will also be available during the event to facilitate new student applications and to help applicants confirm existing offers of acceptance.
