School Holiday Visits

These 1 1/2 hour programs, for high school juniors and seniors, include a half-hour admissions presentation and one-hour campus tour.

School Holiday visits are listed as "Mini Information Sessions" because they may include a larger group of visitors. The content is the same as a Daily Visitation as both include a presentation and walking campus tour.
