Potential Apaches and their families can get a free, firsthand look at TJC during its spring Apache Preview Day, set 1-3 p.m. Saturday, March 25, at Rogers Student Center on the TJC central campus.
“The best time to think about college is now,” said Claire Mizell, TJC director of admissions. “Apache Preview Day offers a half-day showcase for future students to get an up-close look at our academic programs and vibrant campus life.”
Students will receive information on financial aid and scholarships, housing, career planning, enrollment steps, student life and the TJC Promise program.
Participants will be given a tour of TJC’s central campus, have the opportunity to meet with faculty, deans and academic advisors, and take a look at campus activities and organizations. They can also apply for admission and submit their financial aid documents.
They will also receive a TJC T-shirt and information packet.
As part of Preview Day, two open house events will be held from 11 a.m. to noon, for those interested in a closer look at TJC’s industrial and healthcare programs.
At the TJC West event, located at 1530 SSW Loop 323, prospective students and their families can explore opportunities in TJC’s manufacturing, transportation and industrial programs.
At Rogers Nursing and Health Sciences Center, located at 1200 E. Fifth St., potential students can get an up-close look at TJC’s state-of-the-art facilities and speak with faculty and staff from TJC’s healthcare programs.
To register for any of these events, go to TJC.edu/PreviewDay.
