West Virginia Wesleyan College Announces Upcoming Fall Open Houses

Buckhannon – West Virginia Wesleyan College will hold Fall Open Houses on the following Saturdays, Oct. 26, Nov. 9, and Dec. 7. These unique and interactive events feature faculty and staff from every major department, admissions and financial aid presentations with a Q&A, lunch with campus community members, student ambassador-lead tours, a current student panel, and time for every family to meet President Dr. Joel Thierstein.

Visitors for the October and November dates are invited to be guests for home athletic contests and performances by the Bobcat Marching Band, while the December event will feature creative and performing arts auditions and portfolio reviews in the afternoon.

“These events give students the chance to see what being a part of the Wesleyan family is about. They will interact with teachers who will become their mentors, hear from current students about their amazing experiences, and experience the type of personalized attention only WVWC can offer,” said John Waltz, vice president for enrollment management.
