The University of Maine at Fort Kent will host its annual fall Open House for prospective college-bound students on Friday, November 1, 2024, to give everyone a chance to experience campus life.
“Choosing where to go to college is a really big decision, but it helps when students have an opportunity to get a feel for the campus before attending,” said Executive Director of Marketing and Brand Management Heidi Carter. “Beyond the award-winning education that UMFK offers, the friendly campus community and diverse student body are some of the traits that set UMFK apart.
Registration and a Student Fair will be held from 8:15 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Bengal’s Lair in Cyr Hall. A light breakfast and refreshments will be served. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the student services that UMFK has to offer. Representatives from various offices will be available to answer questions on topics ranging from residential life, career planning and placement, to financial aid.
At 9 a.m. in Fox Auditorium, the morning session will begin with an opening welcome and remarks from UMFK’s Admissions staff, followed by a panel presentation by current students who will talk about UMFK’s campus life.
Prospective students will learn more about the academic programs held at various classrooms on campus from 10 to 11 a.m. The talented faculty, who foster academic excellence in the learning environment, will show students and families how learning comes alive at UMFK.
