Upcoming Programs for High School Students and Parents

January 27, 2012

Thinking about what college to attend next fall? High school students and parents are invited to visit Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC) for campus events in February, March, April, and May.

According to Susie Blizard, director of admissions, the university is offering a series of programs for prospective students to learn about the university’s degree programs, financial aid and scholarships, the college admission process, and more.

“We plan recruiting events that are fun but informative,” Blizard said. “The goal for our admissions team is to provide useful information while also allowing high school students time to interact with current IUPUC students. We want them to get a sense of the university experience for themselves.”
