Lakehead Orillia welcomes prospective students to Fall Preview Day

October 27, 2016 – Orillia, ON

A day of exploration and discovery is about to take place at Lakehead University’s Orillia campus, as the University opens its doors for its annual Fall Preview Day. On Saturday, November 5, hundreds of prospective students and their families are expected to attend the open house to learn about all that Lakehead has to offer.

“This annual event showcases all of the unique programs and activities that Lakehead University Orillia has to offer,” says Lakehead Orillia’s Principal, Dr. Kim Fedderson. “We know that choosing a university is one of life’s most important decisions, and attending this open house event is the perfect opportunity for students to see, first-hand, all of the exceptional options and opportunities that are available for them at Lakehead.”

New this year will be information about the first new degree-diploma programs being offered as part of the Lakehead University - Georgian College partnership. Representatives from both schools will be on hand to explain the new Electrical Engineering and Environmental Sustainability/Ecosystem Management options, which will be offered in the upcoming 2017-18 school year.

A highlight of the event will be the draw for a Freshman Prize Pack valued at $2,500 that contains “everything you’ll need to make first-year epic!”

Everyone is welcome to visit the campus for Preview Day, which takes place on Saturday, November 5 from 12 noon to 4 pm. For more information about Preview Day and to register to attend (although not required), visit: www.mylakehead.ca.
