CAS and SEHHB to Co-Host Explore Day, Sept. 30 in MUC |
|
| |
The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior (SEHHB) are hosting an Explore Day.
Saturday, Sept. 30
Morris University Center
Explore Days offer current and prospective students opportunities for in-depth interaction with representatives from specific academic areas, as they work to decide which program will best foster their growth and prepare them to achieve their future aspirations.
Explore Day attendees will also learn about the various ways to get involved on campus, see a residence hall, take a campus tour and speak with representatives from the Office of Admissions and Student Financial Aid.
In an effort to offer students an efficient and effective exploration of programming, this year, CAS and the SEHHB will co-host their Explore Day.
The collaborative offering is designed to better highlight the choices students have, and help them find information they seek more easily. For instance, those with an interest in becoming a math educator can be directed to the appropriate programming, since mathematics is housed in CAS and education in the SEHHB.
Please register at siue.edu/explore-days.
Other upcoming Explore Days include the School of Pharmacy on Saturday, Oct. 14, School of Business on Saturday, Nov. 4 and School of Engineering on Saturday, Nov. 11.
