| March 27 | April 6 |
What will I get to do?
You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Shepherd’s campus and student life.
The day kicks off with an academic and organization expo fair, allowing you to get questions answered and speak with faculty and staff representatives across campus. Students and parents/guardians will then hear from President Mary J.C. Hendrix, Ph.D. and current Shepherd Rams before an academic breakout session specific to the student’s major. Not only will you be able to meet future professors, but future classmates, too!
Lunch is served to all attendees, complimentary of Shepherd University, and participants can then partake in an optional campus tour.
Who can attend?
Admitted Student Days are open to all accepted students for the upcoming term, meaning you’ve applied and received the “admitted” decision. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend with their students.
