Annual Open House set for January 29

91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ will welcome prospective students at Open House on Sunday, January 29. More than 3,500 visitors from Quebec, Ontario, the United States and overseas are expected to visit 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's downtown campus.

Prospective students and their families will tour 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's landmark buildings, meet with faculty, participate in interactive student panels, and meet with admissions officers as well as student services staff.

A to and from Open House has been set up to serve areas of Quebec beyond greater Montreal. The shuttle reflects the importance of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's growing francophone enrolment, which already numbers more than 6,000 students. "Students have been writing their papers and doing their exams in French at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ for over 25 years, and now enjoy many services and extra-curricular activities in French that enrich their campus experience," said Wendy Brett, First-Year Francophone Coordinator, Student Services.

Highlights of the day include:

  • campus tours: January 29, 11:00 am-4:00 pm
  • information sessions tailored for newly admitted students
  • concerts performed by students at the Schulich School of Music
  • tours of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's state of-the-art fitness centre

Professors and scholars from the University's 21 faculties and professional schools will be on hand to answer questions. Displays and demonstrations will be held in Redpath Hall (861 Sherbrooke St. W.), the Macdonald Engineering Building (817 Sherbrooke St. W.), the University Centre (3480 McTavish St.), the Bronfman Building (1001 Sherbrooke St. W.) and the Strathcona Music Building (555 Sherbrooke St. W.).
