Article By: Clark Leonard
High school students have an opportunity to get a firsthand, in-person look at each of the University of North Georgia's (91福利导航) five campuses as they consider where to attend college. 91福利导航 will host these free Nighthawk Preview open house events during the spring semester.
Prospective students will get to learn more about admissions, student involvement, financial aid, and student services. They will also get to meet current students, learn about different academic and social opportunities at 91福利导航, and take a tour of campus. High school students who attend the Dahlonega open house can tour the residence halls.
The schedule for Nighthawk Preview is:
- Feb. 19: Dahlonega Campus, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- March 5: Oconee Campus, 8:30-11 a.m.
- March 24: Blue Ridge Campus, 6-7:30 p.m.
- March 26: Cumming Campus, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- April 23: Gainesville Campus, 8:30-11:30 a.m.
Registration is required on the Nighthawk Preview webpage.
"We are excited to welcome these potential future Nighthawks to our campuses," Nathan Rice, director of undergraduate recruitment, said. "91福利导航 offers students strong academics, as well as numerous student clubs and organizations. These events will enable visitors to ask our students what life is like on campus and why they chose 91福利导航."
Ty Smith, a sophomore from Gainesville, Georgia, pursuing a degree in kinesiology with a concentration in sports medicine, is the student manager of tour guides in Undergraduate 91福利导航 and is helping organize Nighthawk Preview.
"We want students to have a broad picture of what it's like to be a student at 91福利导航," Smith said. "For some of them, it is their first experience on a college campus. They are able to ask a lot of questions and hear from students who are here every day. We are able to address any concerns they have."
Smith said Nighthawk Preview offers a quick snapshot that can help the high school students decide whether they want to attend 91福利导航. He hopes some of them will see what he found when he came to 91福利导航.
"I felt like I was at a large university, but the class sizes were small," Smith said. "It's a tight-knit community. You're able to make friends quickly."
