OPEN CAMPUS DAY AT ABAC NOVEMBER 5

TIFTON—Fifty-seven different programs of study will be on display at the annual Fall Open Campus Day on Nov. 5 at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Registration begins at 10 a.m. in the Donaldson Dining Hall for prospective students who can visit information tables focusing on majors ranging from nursing to golf clubhouse management.

Personnel from admissions, housing, financial aid, and each academic division will be on hand to answer questions from students and their parents. Student clubs from all over campus will also have displays in the dining hall. A question and answer session will be held in the Cordell Conference Room at 11:15 a.m. to end the session.

“Open Campus Day is the best way for students to get to know the college,” Ali Csinos, Coordinator of Student Recruitment, said. “It is also a way of showcasing ABAC and its offerings to prospective students.”

The ABAC Ambassadors will give walking tours and bus tours of the 421-acre campus, including a visit to the deer pen and wildlife area.

For students who plan to live on campus, one of the highlights of the day will be a tour of the $32 million apartment complex called ABAC Place. Over 800 ABAC students live at ABAC Place, which features a private room for every student in four-bedroom, two-bath apartments.

For more information about Open Campus Day, prospective students can call 1-800-733-3653 or visit the ABAC web site at www.abac.edu.
