On Sunday, the Penn College community welcomed prospective students and their families and friends to the final Open House of 2024. Sunny, seasonal weather greeted guests, as did a warm welcome from student tour guides and campus employees.

Around 550 potential students were in attendance and over 1,600 total guests, according to Bryce W. Winder, coordinator of admissions events and communications, who added, "The weather was amazing, and our guests were even better. Couldn’t have had a better way to end the fall Open Houses." 

With open doors on main campus, the Schneebeli Earth Science Center and Lumley Aviation Center, exploration opportunities were abundant.

For those looking for more visiting options, Spring 2025 Open Houses are set for Saturday, March 1, and Sunday, April 6. General tours and personal tours are also available, and admissions representatives are regularly visiting schools and college fairs. All of the offerings can be viewed on the Admissions site.
