Spring Open Houses including Creative Arts Friday Scheduled at Genesee Community College

Genesee Community College has announced its spring Open House schedule for 2007 which specifically includes a variety of times and days to accommodate day visits, evening visits, and weekend opportunities. The Open House provides a summary about what Genesee Community College has to offer academically for transfer and fast-track career degrees, financial aid, housing, day care, and student activities.

At the Open Houses, representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Life, Athletics, Student Support Services, and faculty give short presentations. The speakers, as well as a panel of current students, are available to answer questions.

A full campus tour is also available. In just one visit, prospective students can learn about the philosophy and opportunities at Genesee Community College. Open Houses are scheduled for the following dates:
