Open House program dates set for fall 2017

Morehead State University’s Office of Enrollment Services will host Open House programs on Saturday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Nov.4, in Button Auditorium on the Morehead campus.

The Oct. 7 event will begin at 9 a.m. and free Eagle football tickets will be given to participants. MSU will square off against Butler at 1 p.m. at Jayne Stadium.

The open house on Nov. 4 will start at 1 p.m.

According to Enrollment Services, the Open House events are an excellent opportunity for students and families to discover why MSU has been named one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News and World Report for more than a decade.

University representatives will be available to meet students and their families, answer questions, lead campus tours and share information concerning college life.

“Our goal is to make it convenient to get answers to questions about starting college by bringing deans, department chairs and faculty from our academic programs, as well as staff from admissions, financial aid, housing and many more services, together in one place,” said Holly Pollock, director of undergraduate admissions.

“Families will hear success stories about our graduates and learn some statistics that demonstrate the academic quality offered at MSU.”

On one such measure of success, MSU graduates are consistently accepted into professional schools, including medical, dental and pharmacy programs, at rates well above state and national averages.

Application fees for high school seniors will be waived for those in attendance. Transcript and test scores to must be turned in at the event to qualify for the fee waiver.
