“We want our UVI Open House guests to come and explore the ocean of opportunities available at the University and to discover that UVI is more than they may think,” Dr. Allen said.
UVI Open House activities will include an official University welcome, a UVI student panel presentation, campus tours and an Academic and Organization Fair. Each open house session will launch with musical entertainment. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with the leaders and members of student groups. Academic deans and department heads will also be on hand to address any questions.
“This year’s Open House promises to convey to our guests the message that UVI is, indeed, an Undeniably Viable Institution,” Dr. Allen said.
Both sessions will run from 8:30 a.m. to approximately 2 p.m. The venues will be the Great Hall on St. Croix and the Sports and Fitness Center on St. Thomas.
