The University of Maine at Fort Kent will host its annual fall open house for prospective college-bound students on Friday, November 7, to give them a chance to experience campus life.
“Our fall open house is one of the best ways for students to truly experience the spirit of UMFK,” said Heidi Carter, executive director of marketing and enrollment management. “From meeting our incredible faculty and students to exploring our beautiful northern Maine campus, visitors will get a real sense of the supportive community and hands-on learning that define UMFK.”
Registration and a student services fair will be held from 8:45 to 9:15 a.m. at the Bengal’s Lair in Cyr Hall. A light breakfast and refreshments will be served. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the student services that UMFK has to offer. Representatives from various offices will be available to answer questions on topics ranging from residential life, career planning and placement to financial aid.
At 9:15 a.m. in the Blake Library, the morning session will begin with a welcome from admissions staff, followed by a panel of current students who will discuss campus life.
Prospective students will learn more about academic programs from faculty in classrooms across campus from 10 to 11 a.m. The talented faculty, who foster academic excellence in the learning environment, will demonstrate hands-on learning aspects of their programs. Students and families will experience how learning comes alive at UMFK.
A complimentary lunch will be served from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Nowland Hall dining room. UMFK student admissions ambassadors will lead rotating campus tours during this time.
At 12:30, a question-and-answer session will be held in the Blake Library, where raffle prizes will be awarded.
