Lakehead University invites you to the March Break Open House
March 11, 2016 – Thunder Bay, ON
Lakehead University Thunder Bay will host its annual March Break Open House next week, opening up the campus to hundreds of prospective students and their families and friends.
The Open House takes place from Monday, March 14 to Friday, March 18 and gives prospective students a chance to be a Lakehead student for the day. They can sit in on classes, meet professors and students, and enjoy guided tours of the campus facilities.
“Our March Break Open House is the next best thing to being a Lakehead student. Not only will visitors be able to connect with faculty members in their program of interest and current Lakehead students, they can take part in a class in session and, depending on their program, participate in an interactive showcase,” said Jo Krisko, Lakehead’s Manager of Undergraduate Recruitment.
Through specialized academic program showcases, students can meet with faculty members of selected programs, see labs, speak to current students in the program, and learn more about the kinds of careers the programs can lead to.
In addition to campus and classroom activities, this year’s March Break event offers bus tours of the City of Thunder Bay for out-of-town guests.
