On-Campus, On-Line Events Planned for Prospective SUNY Plattsburgh Students

The SUNY Plattsburgh Office of Admissions will hold a variety of opportunities in the coming months for prospective students to visit campus — in person and online — giving them the chance to see all that the college has to offer, from academics to social lives.

Group information sessions are held on Mondays, Fridays, select Saturdays and Monday through Friday during school breaks. They provide an overview of academics and the admissions process and include a student-guided tour of campus.

The regular Monday and Friday sessions begin at 1 p.m. on the top floor of Kehoe, which offers a spectacular view of campus and the Lake Champlain region. Those sessions are held regularly throughout the year.

Saturday sessions, held at 10 a.m. in Krinovitz Recital Hall in Hawkins Hall, offer a similar program and are scheduled for Feb. 15, 29, March 7 and 28. A special Junior Preview Day will be held Saturday, May 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall, and will include:

• Tips and tricks to navigate the college search process as a high school senior
• An admissions presentation that highlights academics, student life and the admissions process
• A panel talk with current SUNY Plattsburgh students
