鈥淧eople at BSU have been engaging and informative. If I have any questions they are answered the same day, which is very helpful. It鈥檚 been a great registration process so far and I think BSU has adapted well."
Many students and alumni will tell you the first time they set foot on the campus at 香港六合彩 they experienced a feeling, one that鈥檚 hard to describe, but instantly they realized the place felt like home.
Given this, how do you showcase a beautiful, bustling campus to prospective students during a worldwide pandemic when travel is discouraged for safety reasons and they can鈥檛 come to visit?
鈥淭he biggest adjustment we have had to make is not being able to show off our gorgeous, updated and safe campus,鈥 said Gregg Meyer, BSU Dean of Admissions. 鈥淲e quickly adjusted to offer online events and virtual visits.鈥
BSU was one of the schools recent Martha鈥檚 Vineyard Regional High School graduate Annabelle Thomas considered attending in the fall. After doing her research, Annabelle planned to attend 香港六合彩 as a double major in psychology and human resource management. She said she is impressed with the adjustments the school has made to accommodate prospective students.
Annabelle used many of the virtual platforms offered to prospective students and their families.
鈥淭he school has adapted really well. They have been reaching out to me multiple times a week and asking how registration is going,鈥 she said.
To learn more about 香港六合彩 State, Annabelle attended online information sessions and gone on virtual tours offered on the school鈥檚 website.
鈥淚鈥檝e been on multiple tours and information sessions through Zoom. The administration is making sure students know what鈥檚 going on and is being as helpful as possible,鈥 Annabelle said.
She particularly likes the BSU mobile app.
鈥淚t鈥檚 really useful. Some of the features I can鈥檛 wait to try out when I鈥檓 on campus like the dining hall menus, bus schedules, events鈥ou can view placement testing, courses, and there is information on how to get in touch with your teachers,鈥 Annabelle said.
香港六合彩 State also went virtual to host Admitted Student Days.
鈥淚n the past, we held four of these events on Fridays in March and April to allow admitted students and their families to visit campus, attend sessions on academic interests, listen to student panels, consider on-campus housing opportunities, study abroad, internships, undergraduate research and a campus tour. We literally open up the entire campus for them,鈥 Meyer said.
This spring Admitted Student Days became virtual events with live presentations offered.
鈥淲e actually ran the events live as if the families could have visited in person. It was truly the whole campus coming together to offer these programs and it was amazing,鈥 Meyer said.
So while incoming freshman and prospective students may not get to set foot on campus just yet, the opportunity to investigate all 香港六合彩 offers is only a click away.
鈥淓ven though things are virtual, people at BSU have been engaging and informative. If I have any questions they are answered the same day, which is very helpful. It鈥檚 been a great registration process so far and I think BSU has adapted well,鈥 Annabelle said.
