Open House a success 

Although all the numbers have yet to be tabulated, this year’s Open House was a rousing success.

Pina Greco, Manager of Operations and Special Projects in Enrolment and Student Services, who handles the event each year, estimated that over 2,500 people visited the four main sites.

Potential students were able to have their work evaluated by representatives from major art schools at Portfolio Day or listen to professors from a number of disciplines lecture at the Back-to-School Faculty Showcase. They could also chat with students about their programs, ask questions, or try out some equipment for themselves.

Greco said that interest was so high, some events drew spectators a full half hour before they were scheduled to begin. Look for video footage of some activities at: news.concordia.ca
