            Ferrum College will be holding an Admissions Open House for prospective students and parents on Saturday, October 5, 2002.   This is the first Open House event of the 2002-2003 academic year, although high school and transfer students are welcome to tour the 700-acre campus year-round.

           The College's $25.00 application fee will be waived for high school seniors and transfer students who turn in a completed application during Open House.

            Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., and the programs run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.   Participants will have the opportunity to meet Ferrum faculty, current Ferrum students, campus administrators, admissions counselors and financial aid personnel.

           "With the success we had this year, it makes this recruitment season even more exciting.   Our faculty and staff are energized and invigorated by the dramatic increase in enrollment, and we are all looking forward to talking to our future freshmen class," says Gilda Woods, director of admissions at Ferrum College.
