COLLEGE / UNIVERSITIES
OPEN HOUSES & COLLEGE FAIRS

       Bring along two dozen abbreviated profiles (or Address labels on index cards) and distribute them to college representatives you choose to meet or from whom you want to receive information.
        Your profile (or label) might contain;  your name, address, city state, zip and telephone numbers, the name of your secondary school and your date of graduation.    The profile may include your estimated class rank and your SAT I & II scores (it is permissible to lump the SAT I scores into one number, e.g. 900 or 1000.)  You might mention three or four activities in which you participate.  This will enable you to spend your time conversing with a representative rather than filling our information cards.
       Always request the representatives professional (business) card.  This will help you to maintain a communication link should you have more questions or should you decide to visit the college at a later date.

The day's program will include student-guided walking tours of Mitchell's waterfront campus, bus tours of the surrounding residential area, student and parent panels, and seminars on student activities, admissions, financial aid, and Mitchell's Division III athletics program. Faculty will conduct presentations on each of our two and four-year degree programs as well as our Thames Academy program. Of special note will be presentations on our latest majors in Hospitality & Tourism, Environmental Studies, Communications and Homeland Security. Individual interviews by the admissions staff and faculty will also be offered throughout the day.

Also, we're pleased to announce that an additional afternoon track session has been added to the open house. The optional afternoon track will focus on Mitchell's nationally recognized Learning Resource Center program. Some of the areas included in the sessions are: the transition to college; accessible technology, and academic coaching for ADHD. The LRC, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, offers three levels of graduated academic support for students with documented learning disabilities and/or ADHD. A brand new state of the art center is currently being built on our campus - scheduled to open this May. We also broke ground for a new suite-style residence hall - slated to be ready for this fall.
