Okanagan College is giving applicants, admitted students and parents the chance to explore its Vernon campus and the opportunities that await them there with a free event happening tonight (June 13).
With summer fast approaching and many people making their college or university plans for the fall, Okanagan College (OC) is inviting the community on campus.
Anyone interested in learning more about programs and life at OC is invited to attend You@OC Tuesday, June 13, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Vernon campus.
During the event, application fees for all programs will be waived.
The event offers the chance to explore various program opportunities, including those in arts, science and health, business, trades, adult upgrading, continuing studies and more. People can learn about on-campus supports including financial aid, educational advising, accessibility services and returning to education.
Attendees will be treated to a fun, relaxed evening with music and food trucks on-site, prizes to be won and college representatives to answer questions. The first 100 people in attendance will receive a $5 voucher to use at the food truck of their choice for the evening.
“We are excited to host the You@OC event to showcase our programs, our campus and the range of services available to students,” said Dr. Andrew Hay, provost, vice president and academic.
“With so many people considering their post-secondary options at Okanagan College, this is a great opportunity to explore programs, meet faculty, instructors and staff, and learn about the opportunities that await them here.”
Admission to the event is free and people can register online at YouatOCVernon.eventbrite.ca.
