First of five LSUS Up-Close sessions to be held Tuesday
04/01/06

LSUS will host the first of five LSUS Up-Close events for high school seniors and their parents Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. The events will be repeated each Tuesday through May 2.

Each session of LSUS Up-Close begins in the LSUS University Center with welcoming comments by Dr. Gloria Raines, vice chancellor for student affairs, and will give prospective students and their parents a personal look at what LSUS has to offer. The programs include presentations on financial aid and admissions, a guided tour of the LSUS campus, as well as opportunities to meet with faculty and administrators in the four academic colleges and talk with current LSUS students. On April 18 and 25, the added excitement of taking in a home game of the nationally ranked LSUS Pilots baseball team will be available.

“We at LSUS pride ourselves on the personal attention our students receive,” LSUS Registrar and Director of Admissions Mickey Diez said, “and we feel LSUS Up-Close is the perfect venue for high school students and their parents to experience what our university has to offer.”

There is no cost for attendance, but reservations must be made no later than 10 a.m. on the Monday prior to the Tuesday program that the student plans to attend. Parents of students who wish to learn more about LSUS are welcome to attend also. Simply have your child add your name to the online reservation form. Online registration is available at www.lsus.edu/admissions.

Parking is available in the Business and Education Building parking lot or by KDAQ Red River Radio and the LSUS mail room. For a printable map please visit www.lsus.edu/map.
