| SOUTHEASTERN HOSTS HIGH SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE NOV. 22
HAMMOND – High school students and their parents can learn about Southeastern Louisiana University’s academic programs, admission requirements, scholarship and financial aid opportunities at a campus open house on Tuesday, Nov. 22. The event will also feature campus tours, information on campus services and student life, and visits to the university’s six academic colleges. “Southeastern hosted our largest and most successful Senior Day last month with an attendance of 1,200 students and parents,” said Wendy Van Dalen, associate director of recruitment and orientation. “Our annual fall open house is a great opportunity for students and parents, whether or not they attended Senior Day, to gather more information on specific academic programs and to get a close-up look at facilities in our colleges that provide students with valuable hands-on learning experiences.” Registration for the fun and informative event begins at 9:30 a.m. in the War Memorial Student Union. Activities from 10 a.m. until noon include campus life displays, a 30-minute presentation on admissions, financial aid, scholarships, housing and athletics; and campus and tours. After a complimentary lunch, Southeastern’s six colleges – Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences; Business; Education & Human Development; General Studies; Nursing & Health Sciences; and Science & Technology -- will host presentations and tours for students interested in majoring in one of their academic programs. Through brief presentations and hands-on activities and games, students undecided about their course of study will learn about Southeastern’s offerings in academic advising, career exploration, supplemental instruction and tutorial services, and the Southeastern Scholars, a program that allows qualified students to earn college credit while still in high school. Throughout campus, students will also have the opportunity to tour finance, nursing, broadcast communication, language, music and writing labs; visit facilities such as the Southeastern Lab School, the Microsoft Certification Lab, the Southeastern Channel, the Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies, and the Florida Parishes Social Science Research Center; tour performing and visual arts facilities, and learn about study abroad programs, and view department and student organization displays and videos. Participants may register online through the link available on Southeastern’s home page, www.selu.edu. They may also e-mail openhouse@selu.edu or call 1-800-222-SELU or 985-549-5637.
