Beginning at 10:30 a.m., the Jazz Choir and student soloists will perform in the music building.  Campus clubs and organizations will be set up from 9:30 a.m.-noon in various locations across campus to provide prospective students with more information on how to get involved in student activities.

A free lunch for the visiting students will be provided from noon–1 p.m.  High school seniors and transfer students from other colleges present at the luncheon can enter a drawing for prizes which will include one $500 tuition waiver, one housing application fee waiver valued at $235, and a one semester meal plan valued at $1,500.

Beginning at 1:15 p.m., students can continue to apply for admission and financial aid, take a tour of the ABAC Lakeside housing complex, or take part in a housing question and answer session.
