“We’re looking forward to having the public interact with students, faculty and staff,” said President Tim Crowley. “If you haven’t visited our campus in a few years, you will be amazed at the technology available for the 37 degree and certificate programs offered here.”

Demonstrations and displays offered include: Preparation and Painting a Vehicle; Solar Array Display; Live Fire Burner Demo; Make Your Own Key Tag in the Precision Machining Technology Lab; Wind Power Harness and Climbing; Hybrid Vehicle Diagnostics and more.

There will be open classrooms for visitors to sit in on the Nursing and Allied Health and Business Technology Departments. Also during the day, staff at the Smith Wellness Center will be conducting tours and equipment demonstrations.

Participants are welcome to tour campus housing options. Those who apply to the College on the day of Open House will have their application fee waived.
