Rogers State University’s Office of Admissions invites prospective students to the Hill for an opportunity to learn about the university in one of the biggest events on campus.
Slated for Saturday, Nov. 9, Hillcat Preview Day is a one-day event designed to give prospective students and their families a unique understanding of student life at RSU.
“Last year, we revamped our RSU Senior Day and RSU Junior Day and opened up Hillcat Preview Day into an event that’s open to any student type – high school students, transfer students, adult learners, and other non-traditional students, and that change proved to be highly successful,” said Campus Visits and Events Coordinator Natalia Sumner. “Much of what we implemented last year is going to remain the same this year, but we’re also taking a new approach this year in that we’ll be breaking the attendees into small groups, which will then spend time with the university’s various academic departments – Biology, Communications, English and Humanities, Business, Nursing, etc. – to chat with professors and other students within those departments.
“This will give the event attendees even more specific insights into what RSU has to offer and about what life on the Hill is like,” she said. “This will be our first time to do it this way, so I’m excited to see where it goes.”
As in previous Hillcat Preview Days, all participants will receive a free RSU t-shirt, be entered for the chance to win a scholarship, tour the campus and student housing, learn about financial aid and scholarship opportunities, enjoy a free lunch, sign up for a personalized campus tour, and meet with other RSU students.
Check in for registrants begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center on RSU’s Claremore campus. Activities will be held from 10 a.m. through 1 p.m.
Registration for this event has already exceeded last year’s total, Sumner said.
Space is limited. Depending upon the volume of registrants, walk-ins may be accepted, but registration is strongly recommended. To register for Hillcat Preview Day, visit www.rsu.edu/HillcatPreviewDay.
