Lamar University (LU) invites prospective students and their families to Cardinal View on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Sheila Umphrey Recreational Sports Center and the Setzer Student Center.
Cardinal View is LU’s largest open house event every spring and fall semester, where attendees have the opportunity to tour the university campus and learn about academic majors, financial aid, scholarship opportunities, student organizations, campus and community resources, and more.
“We can’t wait to host prospective students and their guests on campus,” Angela Fanette, director of the LU Welcome Center, said. “Our hope is to showcase every opportunity available to students here at Lamar University for an in depth look at the college experience.”
In addition to the guided tours, academic showcases and the campus resource fair, attendees will also be entered into a contest for a chance to win multiple tuition credits throughout the day.
“Our colleges are highlighting a number of majors that are offered in their academic programming sessions; there will be campus resources, housing, financial aid, campus tours and admissions sessions all available as well,” Fanette said. “We can’t wait for prospective students to see what life is like at LU.”
Prospective students will also have an opportunity to visit with current LU students and faculty about getting involved on campus, and students who have already been admitted to LU will have an opportunity to take care of next steps toward enrollment while attending the event.
“At Cardinal View, prospective students have the opportunity to fully customize their experience,” Alexia Read, assistant director of the LU Welcome Center, said. “They can focus on specific sessions or explore it all. It truly is an opportunity for potential students to see what LU can offer them.”
The Sheila Umphrey Recreational Sports Center is located at 4405 Jimmy Simmons Blvd. on the LU campus.
