College of the Rockies invites the community to open house on Tuesday

The College of the Rockies is hosting an open house at its Cranbrook campus on Tuesday (Nov. 3), where prospective students, families and community members can explore programs, meet faculty and staff, and learn about student services and education pathways.

Visitors can tour the campus, speak one-on-one with service coordinators and learn about student supports and resources.

The event will also feature a Campfire Chat, where prospective students can meet current students in an informal setting and ask about academics and student life.

“Whether someone’s looking to upgrade skills, start a new career path or pursue a full four-year degree, our team can help them discover the options available and help map out what’s next,” said Norma Sherret, Interim Vice President, Academic, College of the Rockies.

Future students who apply to attend a College of the Rockies program between November 3 and November 8 will be entered into a draw for a tuition voucher.

All attendees can also enter the Choose Your Adventure Grand Prize Draw. Prizes include:

• A mountain bike, pair of skis or snowboard from Gerick Sports
• A Sony headset
• Owala water bottles

“We’re just really excited to have everybody join us. The open house is truly a one-stop opportunity to explore your education and career options,” adds Sherret.

“Visitors can connect directly with instructors, speak with current students, learn about financial aid and student supports and get answers to their questions all in one visit. We’re really excited to invite everybody to come and see us.”
