VISIT CAMPUS
ADMITTED STUDENT DAYS
Saturdays: Mar. 28, Apr. 11, Apr. 18 Connect with the HWS community, meet future classmates and spend time on our beautiful lakeside campus. Admitted Student Days include attending a class with an HWS professor, campus and residence hall tours, and conversations with students, faculty and staff in the academic and co-curricular programs that interest you most.
Who should attend? These programs are designed for admitted students who are still deciding and want to explore HWS more deeply, as well as enrolled students looking to preview their first-year experience and the four years ahead. Families, parents and guardians are encouraged to attend and learn how to best support their student through the transition to college.
In multiple locations across the country Connect with the HWS community at one of multiple regional events near you. You’ll meet admissions staff, local alumni, faculty, current students, families and fellow members of the HWS Class of 2030 while gaining deeper insight into the HWS experience.
Who should attend? Admitted and enrolled students and their families, parents and guardians who want to celebrate admission and further engage with the HWS community. These events are especially ideal for those who have already visited campus or may not be able to return this spring.
Daily beginning Mar. 23 Go beyond a traditional college visit with a day designed around your interests. Campus Visits may include a guided tour, complimentary lunch with a current student, class visits, and one-on-one conversations with admissions or financial aid counselors.
Who should attend: Admitted students who are still deciding and would benefit from one more in-depth look at campus.
Mondays through Apr. 27 Enhance your campus visit by sitting in on a signature HWS course: MGMT 305: Leadership and Learning in Entrepreneurial Values.
