Prospective students can watch a video on topics like campus dining and housing options.
“Spring is usually a busy time on campus as high school juniors start their college searches and seniors who have been admitted return and finalize their decisions,” said Rob Durkle, dean of admission and financial aid in a written statement. “Virtual campus visits give these students the opportunity to see campus, meet one-one-one with admission and financial aid counselors, and chat with current undergraduates and faculty. We can answer their questions and give them a unique glimpse of our community. It’s the next best thing to being on campus.”
