Open House Gives Glimpse of Campus
Welcomed by a dazzling display of fall foliage, some 200 high school students and their families visited Franklin & Marshall College for its annual open house Oct. 19.
The event provided prospective Diplomats the opportunity to visit academic and social spaces across campus. Professors were available to speak about curricula, student and faculty research and postgraduate paths available to specific majors and minors.
Visitors also enjoyed campus tours and sessions about learning support programs, off-campus study and financial aid.
