DESCRIPTION:Meet Professors and Current Students\, Learn about Opportunities\, Tour Campus\, and Get Instant Admissions Decisions at the Events \nInterested students and families will have two opportunities to learn more about Blackburn College this fall. The Admissions and Financial Aid teams will host Open House events on Monday\, October 14\, and Monday\, November 11\, beginning at 8:30 am. These events allow future first-time and transfer students to gather important information about the college application process. \nThroughout their time on campus\, prospective students and their families will explore and tour the beautiful 80-acre campus\, make personal connections with current students and professors\, and get to know what life is like as a Blackburn student.
