More than 1,500 local high school seniors and community college transfer students admitted to Cal State Fullerton for this fall - as well as up to 3,000 prospective students, their families and friends - will visit the university to find out more about the campus and what the university has to offer. "Through the Decades: 50 Years of Titan" is the theme of this year's event, in celebration of the university's 50th anniversary.
Saturday, April 12, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
9 a.m. - noon: A resource fair along Titan Walk and in the Quad will feature information about each of the university's eight colleges, student services and programs, campus clubs and organizations.
9 a.m. - 1 p.m.: Workshops will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about financial aid, campus programs, orientation requirements and housing options, plus other useful information.
9 a.m. - 1 p.m.: Tours of the campus, including a look at the new Student Recreation Center, will be conducted every 15 minutes.
"This is an opportunity for Cal State Fullerton to show the community true Titan pride and highlight what our university has to offer," said Delia Tijerina, assistant director of pre-college programs. A variety of student services will be showcased, "and all the colleges will be represented," she added.
Based on a survey from the 2006 Welcome to Cal State Fullerton Day, 80 percent of those surveyed reported that this event, or one like it, helped them in making a decision about which university to attend, Tijerina said.
Free parking is available in both the State College and Nutwood parking structures (off State College Boulevard and Nutwood Avenue, respectively).
