- Southampton College of Long Island University will hold an Open House/Parent's Weekend from Friday, October 25 through Sunday, October 27.
The weekend's activities will allow prospective students and their families to learn first-hand about Southampton's many outstanding programs. Participants can meet faculty and staff, ask questions about the application process or financial aid, take guided tours of the campus, learn about academic majors and experiential education opportunities, and attend a Ladies Colonials soccer match on Saturday afternoon.
The weekend begins with the Provost's Reception on Friday evening in Kanas Lobby, Chancellors Hall and continues with activities throughout the weekend. Check-in is on Saturday morning in Wood Hall, followed by tours of the campus and on-going academic sessions. Prospective students can learn about several unique programs that are offered at Southampton College including co-operative education opportunities, Friends World, Seamester, writing programs, marine science, and more.
Time to explore the surrounding communities, a sunset hike with the campus wilderness club and music, coffee and dessert in the College's coffeehouse will cap off Saturday. The weekend will end on Sunday with a brunch and a Harvestival, a delightful festival of fall activities.
Guests will have ample opportunity to gather information on academic programs in arts and media, business, humanities, education, social science, natural science, psychology/biology, environmental studies/environmental science, and marine science.
Tours of the campus bookstore, the Avram Family Art Gallery, the Marine Station and the state-of-the-art graphics computer lab will be available.
