Cheerwine DayCatawba College Office of Admissions invites local high school students to indulge all their senses by attending Catawba's redesigned Open House, " Cheerwine Day," on Saturday, September 26th at the College.
"Cheerwine Day," on September 26th will be the first of two Open Houses at Catawba College for the 2009 Fall Semester. The second Open House is slated for Saturday, November 14th.

Cheerwine DayThe Office of Admissions has redesigned the Open House format "to infuse elements of a 'real' college student's life," Williams noted. Participants will each attend a mini-class, "giving students and parents the opportunity to connect to our wonderful faculty and feel what it is like to experience a college class," said Williams. Prospective students and their families will also attend the home football game in the evening. Williams also mentioned that Catawba College recognizes "college life is about more than just being in class, so we want students to also see the social side of things at Catawba."
