Northwestern’s annual Spring Showcase recruitment event will take place on campus Saturday.
High school juniors and seniors, as well as college students interested in transferring to Northwestern, will have the opportunity to learn more about the campus, tour the school’s departments and see what it’s like to be a Ranger, officials say.
The event begins at 10 a.m. Once arriving in Alva, attendees will check in at the Student Center.
They’ll also visit Percefull Fieldhouse and tour campus.
Current students at Northwestern will set up booths and activities to show what it’s like to be a Ranger, event organizers said. The booths showcase different clubs and degree programs at Northwestern.
They also help students look at the different career paths they can take.
“We are hoping to have a good turnout and are ready to talk with new students about the tremendous opportunities Northwestern has to offer,” said Matt Adair, assistant dean of student affairs and recruitment. “We are so excited to have the opportunity to welcome prospective freshmen and transfer students to campus.”
Students who attend Spring Showcase will receive a free Northwestern application, lunch, a T-shirt and admission to the Ranger baseball game. Students who attend will also get a $500 scholarship to attend Northwestern.
This is Northwestern’s first in-person Spring Showcase since 2020. The event was virtual in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
