Visit Â鶹ɫÇ鯬

Connect With Us

We’d love to meet you - and we want you to really get to know us too!

Whether you visit in person or join us online, we’ve designed our programs to give you a real feel for what life is like as an Â鶹ɫÇ鯬 Hawk. You’ll get an inside look at our campus community and connect with people who make this place special.

Before you visit, we’ll send you a quick survey so we can personalize your experience based on what you’re most excited to explore. You’ll discover the powerful combinations that make Â鶹ɫÇ鯬 unique - and hopefully feel those good vibes that our Hawks are always taking about.

We’re always adding new sessions and opportunities, so check back often.  And if you don’t see something that works for your schedule, just reach out - we’ll figure something out. 

We want to make sure visitors are aware of any roadwork that may impact arrival/travel time. Check this page for Travel Notices.
