Future Students check out Sac State at Preview Day

Sacramento State is hosting a Preview Day for prospective undergraduate students and their parents on Saturday, Oct. 28. Fall is the time of the year when families are making decisions about where to apply for admission for the 2007-08 academic year.

The activities are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning at the University Union. But the events are expected to take place around the entire campus. The fair format will allow faculty to engage students in informal conversations about various majors, disciplines, and fields of study.

Preview Day is designed to showcase the University’s academic programs and student services. The day will begin with a campus welcome followed by a schedule of activities that will allow students to speak with faculty and student service representatives from Sacramento State.

Workshops on filling out an application and applying for financial aid are just a few of the activities throughout the day. Tours of the campus and residence halls will also be offered. While workshops are underway a Prospective Student Fair will be hosted in Ballrooms II and III.

This event is for all prospective students, including incoming freshmen and transfer students.
