Admission hosts back-to-back overnight event

On Friday through Monday, Nov. 6-9, the Office of Admission is hosting its first ever back-to-back overnight event. Friday’s overnight guests will be a group of students from the Twin Cities, and Sunday’s guests will be a group of students from Chicago.

Eighty high school juniors and seniors are registered between the two trips. Both groups will be touring campus, attending classes, staying with student ambassadors, participating in a faculty and faculty/staff panel, eating in the cafeteria, etc.

Friday’s group will enjoy Blue Angel, while Sunday’s group will be checking out the bowling scene in Winona! If you run into the group, don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and project a little Saint Mary’s kindness!

Overnights are a big part of the college decision for most students. A successful overnight is not possible without the efforts of current students who host prospective students. Ambassadors are freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors who are active on campus and positively represent SMU. For more information, contact Aubrey Hollnagel, visit coordinator and director of Ambassadors.
