Prospective students invited to ‘Meet Maryville’ Sept. 25

Aug. 31, 2021

High school students, adult learners and college transfer students are all invited to the “Meet Maryville” event scheduled for Sat., Sept. 25, 2021 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

Hosted by Maryville College’s Admissions Office, the in-person event is designed to help prospective students and their families get to know the nationally ranked college known for providing students with an educational experience that prepares them for anything – to address the hard problems, to connect with people all over the globe and to succeed in any career.

“Whether attendees have been regulars at athletic games and music concerts or have never set foot on campus, they’ll learn something new at ‘Meet Maryville,’” said Alayne Bowman, the College’s vice president for admissions and financial aid. “In addition to learning about programs of study, campus life, financial aid and scholarships, attendees will participate in an ‘MC Distinctives’ session to learn about why Maryville College is unique.”

After hearing a welcome address from Maryville College President Bryan F. Coker, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a variety of sessions, which will allow attendees to speak directly with MC faculty, staff and students about academic programs, campus organizations and student life at MC.

The event will conclude with a session that will allow attendees to learn about financial aid, the admissions process and next steps. Attendees will also have an opportunity to attend a campus tour with current student tour guides.

Other opportunities to visit announced

Two other Meet Maryville events are scheduled for this academic year: Sat., Oct. 30 and Sat., Nov. 20 (note: the November event will be virtual). For students and family members who cannot attend a Meet Maryville, Bowman said her office offers several other options to visit campus.

During the academic year (September through May), the Office of Admissions offers tours Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. ET. Saturday tours will be offered this fall at 10:30 a.m. ET on Sept. 11 and 18; Oct. 2, 9 and 16; Nov. 6 and 13; and Dec. 4, 11 and 18.

“Even if they attend a Meet Maryville, we encourage students to schedule an individual visit at a later date, which can be more personalized,” Bowman said. “Visits that allow students to sit in on a class that relates to their area of interest and talk to faculty members who teach in their areas of interest really help prospective students answer that question of ‘fit’ – ‘Am I a good fit for Maryville College?’ ‘Is Maryville a good fit for me?’”
