ABAC
Opens Campus For Stallion Day On October 24
TIFTON—Prospective
students will have an opportunity to explore the campus of Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College from top to bottom on Oct. 24 at the annual fall
Stallion Day. Registration begins at 8
a.m. in the Donaldson Dining Hall.
Director
of Enrollment Services Donna Webb said
the day will be focused entirely on providing information about the college to
prospective students and their parents.
“This
day is set aside to showcase everything ABAC has to offer,” Webb said. “I know there are a lot of high school
seniors searching for the college that best fits their needs, and there’s not a
better day to visit ABAC.”
A
tuition grant worth $500 will be given away during the lunch hour, which also
includes a free meal for the prospective students. Another highlight of the lunch session will
be a drawing for a meal ticket worth over $1,000 for one semester during the
2010-11 academic year. Webb will also
announce students who have completed all admissions criteria to qualify for on-the-spot
acceptance to ABAC.
Visiting
students will get their first look at the 421-acre ABAC campus through special
tours led by the ABAC Ambassadors. The
Stallion Marketplace offers a glimpse at over 50 programs of study including
the on-campus bachelor’s degrees in Rural Studies, Diversified Agriculture, Turfgrass
and Golf Course Management, Early Childhood Education, Management, Accounting,
and Natural Resource Management.
Visitors
can choose from special interest sessions ranging from housing to the music program. Every visiting student will also take part in
an interactive classroom experience which simulates an actual ABAC class.
Admissions,
housing, and financial aid will be key topics of conversation for both parents
and students all day long. In fact,
breakout sessions with financial aid personnel will be held at 2, 2:30, and 3
p.m. The day ends with an in-depth tour
of the ABAC Lakeside freshman housing complex on the north shore of Lake
Baldwin.
Prospective
students should sign up ahead of time for the Stallion Day event at www.abac.edu/stalliondays or call
(229) 391-5004.
