With its slower pace, summer is an especially great time to visit
Centre College.

While every season offers many reasons for prospective students to visit Centre College, summer is an especially favorable time to spend a day on campus. While students are away for their summer vacation, the pace at Centre slows down, allowing prospective students and their parents to learn about the College in a most relaxed atmosphere.

During regular summer campus visits, prospective students have the opportunity to take campus tours; speak with admission counselors; and, if they call ahead to schedule a visit, meet with faculty members from a specific program. Coaches are also happy to meet with students and their families during the summer months.

While standard summer campus visits are tailored to a prospective student’s interests, summer open house events (as well as open houses held during other seasons at Centre) offer more regulated schedules.

“Open houses are a great and easy way to get a taste of what life as a student is like,” says Dawn Brown-Piatt, admission counselor. “And there’s no substitute for actually visiting a college.”

This summer, Centre’s office of admission will be holding three open house events. The first will be on Tuesday, June 18, followed by events on July 9 and 23. Registration for all three events will begin at 9:30 a.m., and each will conclude with a lemonade reception at 12:30 p.m.

“Participating in open house events like these can be very worthwhile,” says admission counselor Ali Hamilton. “Not only do they provide a great introduction to Centre in a short amount of time, but it’s also reassuring for students to meet others who are in the same stage of the college search.”
