Prospective students and their families visiting campus Friday for Spring Open House are “our special guests,” says Zora Savic, events coordinator in the liaison office.

She says students, faculty and staff have been busily preparing for the event, one of the most important in the student recruitment process.

“We have learned that coming to our campus, meeting with our people and getting the UWindsor experience is one of the best ways to convince high school students to choose to come here,” she says.

“Open house gives them a chance to see firsthand what we mean when we say we offer a personalized undergraduate experience that is geared to their success.”

Among the highlights are the information fair in Ambassador Auditorium, presentations on paths to law or med school, a chemistry magic show and a jazz trio.

Savic encourages employees to present a warm welcome, showing their UWindsor pride. “Staff and faculty who wear the Ask Me button make it easier for visitors to identify people who can help with some directions or basic information,” she says.

Open house runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 9. Learn more on the event Web site.
