The location for the the January 31, 2009, Gatton Academy Preview Weekend has been moved to accomodate increased demand for the event.
“We are excited to see the high levels of interest from prospective parents and students,” said Corey Alderdice, Assistant Director, Admissions and Public Relations. “We are anticipating a large number of applications throughout the Commonwealth in February. Experiencing the Gatton Academy in person only solidifies students’ enthusiasm for the program.”
The Gatton Academy will host its final Preview Weekend of the Class of 2011 admissions cycle on Saturday, January 31, 2009, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Events will take place in the Grise Hall auditorium and Schneider Hall on the WKU campus.
Families will meet in the Grise Hall auditorium beginning at 9:30 a.m. Sessions will begin at 10 a.m. in the fourth floor common area. Activities for the day will also include campus and hall tours as well as parent and students question-and-answer panels.
“The venue can seat around 400 people,” said Alderdice. “We want to ensure any family interested in learning more about the program has the opportunity to visit. The day’s sessions will be filled with information from staff members as well as tesitmonials from current parents and students.”
Preview Weekends are a wonderful opportunity for prospective applicants and their families to meet with current Academy students and their parents, visit Schneider Hall, and gain a better understanding of student life at the Gatton Academy.
