Preview Day is March 27

Presentation Application Form

The Office of University Outreach Services is eager to more effectively assist with the management of new student enrollment and consequently is sponsoring Preview Day 2004 on March 27.  This followup to our fall Open House event is designed to assist prospective students who are also considering alternative college choices.  Preview Day is designed to give prospective high school and community college transfer students a closer look at our faculty and facilities.  

The event will begin with a general session in the North Gym and followed by academic workshops within individual majors.  These academic workshops are offered by faculty and resemble a classroom setting; similar to what one will experience as a student at Fresno State .  This event is open to the public.

Academic workshops are scheduled at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. and will run approximately 50 minutes each. We welcome faculty assistance with providing these academic workshops for prospective students.  If you are interested in assisting, complete the attached form.

There has also been a deadline extension to submit workshop information.  The new deadline is Jan. 16.

For more information, call Lupe Maldonado at 8-2048 or e-mail lupem@csufresno.edu.
