Six Opportunities to Visit and Experience Campus

Events Prepare Accepted Students for Move-In and Introduce Campus Life to Those Looking for a College Home

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擜 visit to the 成人视频 campus is the best way to determine if it鈥檚 the right place for you. During Dawg Day or a Saturday Visit, you鈥檒l meet current GWU students and experience the beautiful 225-acre campus situated in the North Carolina foothills.

Lucy Merritt, a Student Recruitment Ambassador (SRA) with the Office of Admissions, remembers the impact her first visit to campus had on her. 鈥淔or me, the biggest thing that helped me with my decision was meeting the people here and being able to form relationships with them before I stepped foot onto campus in the fall,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t was a great way to connect before I began as a first-year student! These events also allowed me to get really good information regarding nursing (which is my major) and the housing process. Because I attended these events, particularly Accepted Student鈥檚 Day, I was able to get my questions answered.鈥�

During a Dawg Day visit, students have the opportunity to meet professors and hear an overview of the University’s academic offerings.

Now that she is part of the welcoming team, Merritt strives to find out about new and potential students so they can feel valued. 鈥淚 ask them about where they are from, what they want to study and why, the extracurricular things that they are a part of at home, what they are most excited about with possibly coming to GWU, and much more,鈥� she shared. 鈥淚 really try to make things personal and pay attention to them and their specific experience and goals, treating them like a name rather than a number is so important in welcoming them.鈥�

Rachel Gaura, another SRA, also welcomes new students to campus, sharing with them all that 成人视频 has to offer. 鈥淭hey can picture themselves at 成人视频 in many scenarios: in the communal areas, in the classroom, and in the dining facilities,鈥� she offered. 鈥淎s a prospective student, I learned a lot from my weekend visits! I got a real-life example of a Saturday and a weekend on campus. It’s important to see what campus looks like outside of the academics, since college is about more than a GPA. It’s crucial to feel at home on campus, build connections with people who feel like family, and make lifelong memories in that short four years.鈥�
