???We are in a time in our nation where there is a lot of focus on the state of higher education, and for good reason. We know that families are not only looking for a quality academic experience, but expect clear return on investment,??? says Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing Bryan Gross.

???With so much national attention on the rising cost of college, the fact that Western New England University opened the fall 2017 semester with its largest undergraduate class in University history demonstrates our clear commitment to providing value to our students. Our student outcomes are impressive and both students and employers are taking notice that we are a University with a unique focus on student success. The undergraduate Open House is the perfect opportunity to tour our beautiful campus, meet with members of our faculty, ask questions to current students, and get a sense of the community spirit that makes Western New England University a truly special place.???

Guests will have the chance to tour the campus and residence halls, meet current students, get a general overview of the admissions and financial aid process, and have academic questions answered by members of the faculty.

The day concludes with an exhibit where students can gather more information on student clubs and activities, honors programs, athletic opportunities at both the NCAA and intramural levels, as well as hear from the Career Development Center regarding the varied internship and career opportunities Western New England University students are receiving.

Female prospective students and their families are invited to attend the Women Who Excel Luncheon designed to celebrate the accomplishments of current and former female students, faculty, and staff. Attendees will get a sense of the supportive environment available to students, and why female students thrive at Western New England University.
