Hoosier private college week begins

FORT WAYNE, IN (AAPDN) – Indiana’s nonprofit and private colleges are offering online and in-person visits to students and their families as part of Indiana Private College Week from Monday, July 20 through Friday, July 24, 2020. All activities are free of charge.

Prospective students and their families interested in the college selection process will experience the unique personalities of each campus through tours, informational sessions and conversations with current students and staff.

     Campuses have made necessary accommodations to make sure visitors can experience these campuses in the safest way possible following guidance from local and state health agencies.

“Despite the challenging circumstances presented by COVID-19, visiting a private college either online or in-person is still an important part of your research when deciding which institution to attend,” said David W. Wantz, President & CEO of Independent Colleges of Indiana. “Students and their families can make the best decision about where to attend seeing the buildings, meeting with faculty and staff, and seeing themselves thriving on campus, whether that is done in person or virtually.”
