Admitted Student Open House - April 14 and 21
Hi, it’s Julia again. I haven’t blogged in a while so I thought today would be the perfect opportunity. Why? Because the first Open House for Admitted Students is in one week! You should have received an invitation along with your admit letter, but in case you need a reminder, Open House events will be held on Monday, April 14 and Monday, April 21. You don’t need to RSVP – simply pick a date and show up. Registration begins at 7:30 AM. Here is a link to the schedule of events:

In case the schedule wasn’t convincing enough, I now present my list of Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Attend Admitted Student Open House:
10. The complimentary Mediterranean-themed lunch. One bite and you’ll think you’re walking on a beach in Cyprus.
9. The “Life at Connecticut College” panel for STUDENTS ONLY. Ask the questions you really have about college life without worrying about mom or dad being in the room.
8. You can shake hands with our very own camel. He looks a lot more lively in real life than he does here:
7. If you’re into lucky #7’s like our Associate Director of Admission Krystal Livingston is, then Open House just might be your lucky day (think about the dates…)
6. You’ll have the chance to attend classes like Witches, Weirdness and Wonder in Cultural Imagination; History of Jazz; Toni Morrison, Sport and Exercise Psychology; and Stars, Galaxies and Cosmology. Way cooler than the classes you’d have to attend if you weren’t at Open House on Monday.
5. You can wish our last guest blogger, Scott Alexander a very happy (fill in the blank with the first digit) __0th birthday on April 21st.
4. If you liked the picture of Mitch’s yellow car in blog posting 1, you can drive by the Admission lot and see it in person. If that’s not a compelling reason, I don’t know what is.
3. At what other college can you come to Open House, gaze out onto the ocean and see an amazing view of Montauk, NY?
2. Finally meet the students who you’ve already made friends with on Facebook’s class of 2012 group.
And finally (drumroll please…)
1.It’s a perfect opportunity for you to see the campus in action, meet the faculty and students you’d be spending time with, and decide whether you think Connecticut College is a good fit for you.
I hope that this list, in some small way, has persuaded to come to campus on the 14th or 21st. If you have any questions about Open House, feel free to leave a comment or email me at Julia.Gordon@conncoll.edu
