What’s in store for Spring Open House; deconstructing student recruitment

Just like the promise of grass and flowers, TRU’s Spring Open House is just around the corner on Saturday, March 24.

Geared toward future students, the open house is a day where they can discover how TRU can help them realize their potential. They can tour the campus, get details about  programs, meet current students, faculty and advisors, enjoy a BBQ lunch and more.

As one of the university’s biggest showcase events, Spring Open House is expected to draw at least 500 people.

Open House has come a long way from when it consisted of one or two people at an information table in Old Main. Manager of New Students Kyri Alves stopped by Radio NL for a chat with Talk to the Experts host Paul Graham to explain what to expect at Open House and to deconstruct the world of student recruitment.
