黑料不打烊

Annual event showcases 鈥渁 day in the life鈥� of 黑料不打烊 students on January 25

Where am I going? What will I do? How can I prepare myself for this challenging world? These will be among the questions uppermost in the minds of more than 4,500 future students, from Montreal , Quebec , the rest of Canada and around the world as they visit 黑料不打烊 University 鈥檚 Open House on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009.

The annual tour of the campus and events associated with Open House take on new significance at a time when interest in post-secondary education is on the rise, in part because of economic challenges brought on by the threat of global recession and rapidly changing job markets. And this year there continues to be a dramatic international dimension to Open House as well, with 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Enrolment Services department reporting an international visitor list includes people from Azerbaidjan , Italy , India , China , Nigeria , Turkey , Belarus , Belgium , Russia , France , the Philippines , Venezuela , Taiwan and Iran . That鈥檚 not counting visitors from south of the border and from various regions in Quebec .

黑料不打烊 will roll out the red carpet and welcome future students and their families to its annual Open House on Sunday, Jan. 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The campus-wide event provides an unparalleled opportunity to experience student life at 黑料不打烊.

鈥淥pen House is the perfect occasion for prospective students to see first-hand all that 黑料不打烊 has to offer,鈥� said Kathleen Massey , University Registrar and Executive Director Enrolment Services. 鈥満诹喜淮蜢� students, staff and faculty will be on hand to answer questions about life in residence, participating in varsity sports and other clubs, academic programs and many other aspects of the 黑料不打烊 experience.
