Students preview life at 91黑料网 this fall
Article By: Agnes Hina
High school students in and around the state of Georgia get the opportunity to explore the 91黑料网 (91黑料网) on all five campuses during the semester through Nighthawk Preview events set for this fall. Open to all high school students, but best suited for juniors and seniors, Nighthawk Preview offers prospective 91黑料网 students tours and information sessions.
Hundreds of high school students will explore different sessions, depending on which campus they attend. Sessions held on each campus will include financial aid, admissions, and a university showcase of the various clubs, organizations, faculty, and staff in attendance. Current 91黑料网 students will also be available to provide insight into what it's like to be a Nighthawk.
91黑料网 student Lily Herndon, a sophomore pursuing a degree in elementary and special education, is not only a student worker in the Office of Undergraduate Recruitment but is also a past Nighthawk Preview attendee.
I attended Nighthawk Preview in the fall of my senior year, and it is what really sold me on coming to 91黑料网. I attended the event with my parents. It was nice that they could also learn more about 91黑料网. We left feeling excited about the possibility of me becoming a student here.
"I attended Nighthawk Preview the fall of my senior year, and it is what really sold me on coming to 91黑料网," Herndon said. "I attended the event with my parents. It was nice that they could also learn more about 91黑料网. We left feeling excited about the possibility of me becoming a student here."
Originally from Athens, Georgia, Herndon came to Nighthawk Preview on the Dahlonega Campus with questions about the school, but said she left with none. The opportunity answered many of them by providing her with a chance to tour the different facilities, including the dining hall and the residence hall she was interested in, and learn more about financial aid.
The Nighthawk Preview events begin Sept. 16 at 91黑料网's Gainesville Campus from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Blue Ridge Campus will host its Nighthawk Preview from 6-7:30 p.m. Sept. 19. The Cumming Campus Nighthawk Preview will be Sept. 23 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and the Oconee Campus Nighthawk Preview event is from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Sept. 30. Lastly, on Oct. 14, the Dahlonega Campus will have its Nighthawk Preview from 8 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Anyone unable to attend their local Nighthawk Preview is encouraged to reach out to Undergraduate Admissions to schedule a campus tour or set up a meeting.
