CCSU sets open house for high school students

The Clayton State Office of Recruitment’s Fall Laker Day Open House is set for Saturday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the University’s Athletics & Fitness Center.

Laker Day welcomes high school seniors and their parents to Clayton State and features separate panel discussions for students and parents, a campus tour, and a browse fair spotlighting the University’s programs and organizations.

Reservations for Laker Day can be made by visiting www.clayton.edu or by calling the Office of Recruitment at 770-961-3500.

Laker Day will begin at 10 a.m. with a general session, followed by breakout sessions for students and parents. Following a campus tour, the day’s events will conclude in the Athletics & Fitness Center with a Browse Fair, allowing prospective students and their families to individually learn more about student services, academic programs, and extracurricular activities at Clayton State. The time frame for the Browse Fair is approximately 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“The Browse Fair is always a big hit with parents and students because they have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with representatives of programs and organizations which are of particular individual interest,” said Carol Montgomery, assistant director of recruitment. “The most important function of the Browse Fair is to give our guests an opportunity to talk one-on-one with Clayton State faculty and staff to learn about their programs.”
