This event will be on Oct. 9, 2026, from 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m. We will provide information about admissions, support programs (including summer programs), information from faculty and students, lunch in the dining hall, and a campus tour. We will have sensory relief areas, fidgets, and plenty of refreshments along the way.
Registration coming soon!
