Close to 1,200 high school students from across Ontario will have the opportunity to experience the living and learning environment of the University of Guelph as part of the annual Interaction Conference running on campus April 24 and 25.

Hosted by Admission Services, the recruitment conference begins at 10 a.m. in Rozanski Hall.

Students can choose two sessions from more than 40 offerings run by U of G students, faculty and staff. Some of the sessions include “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: A Glimpse at the Very Small”, “Wal-Mart’s Coming to Smallville- What Will Happen to Retail Space?” and “Family Secrets and the History Detective.”

Registration starts at 9 a.m. and includes a $25 fee per student, which also covers the lunch.

For additional information please visit our Interaction website or call 519-824-4120 Ext. 58713.

No indication of a registration deadline, or whether the program is already filled. But, if you’re looking for a last-minute pre-university experience (and, just a reminder that Guelph has a great, detailed homeschool admission policy!) or making a list of things to plan for in future years, this promises to be an interesting activity!

Lakehead University’s Orillia campus will host an open house Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Potential students can tour the campus, learn about programs and courses, and meet faculty and staff.

Staff, faculty and students will discuss academic programs, admissions, financial aid, campus activities, sports and plans for the future.

The Lakehead University Student Union will also be represented, and a student panel will talk to prospective students about studying at Ontario’s newest university campus.
