Trent University in Oshawa Announces
Open House Plans on March 19
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Event to Showcase Interdisciplinary Degree
Opportunities for Students
Wednesday, March 11, 2008, Oshawa
All prospective Trent students, who are interested
in taking a campus tour and learning more about
Trent’s academic programs and support services in
Oshawa, are invited to bring their families and
friends to the Trent University in Oshawa’s annual
March Break Open House to be held on Thursday,
March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event will take place in Trent in Oshawa’s new
location in the Simcoe Building on the campus it shares with Durham College. Trent’s
award-winning faculty will be on hand to discuss the range of programs and answer any
questions interested students may have. Trent offers an outstanding university
experience where students can take a range of full-time or part-time interdisciplinary
programs, including anthropology, computer science/studies, environmental and
resource science/studies, history, psychology, sociology and women’s studies. Select programs offer students the opportunity to earn their degrees entirely in Oshawa, while
other programs require students travel to Peterborough to complete their degrees.
Throughout the day, guests will have the opportunity to talk to representatives from
student services, meet academic advisors, receive information on Financial Aid, talk to
current students via the Peer Mentoring Program, inquire about transfer credits, and
participate in a tour of Trent’s campus. A complimentary lunch will be provided for
interested students and their guests.
Prospective students and their families will also be invited to take a campus tour, speak
to an Academic Skills representative, meet the University Librarian, and learn about
student supports such as Disability Services. Student life is an important part of the
Trent experience, so guests will also have a chance to find out more about the Student
Association and opportunities to participate in varsity sports for Trent in Oshawa
students.
The Trent University in Oshawa Open House on March 19 will take place in room 1210,
Simcoe Building at 2000 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa.
