Trine University will welcome students for visits as part of Indiana Private College
Week, July 21-25.
During the week, tour guides and Trine Admission staff will celebrate with spirit
days each day.
Students can find out more after they register for individual visits at trine.edu/visit.
“Private colleges and universities like Trine offer diverse academic programs, personal
attention and active campus life as well as generous financial aid packages that keep
a quality education within reach,” said Kim Bennett, vice president for enrollment
management at Trine. “Indiana Private College Week is the perfect opportunity to learn
more about all the advantages we have to offer.”
Indiana’s 29 private, nonprofit colleges are offering special visits to students and
their families as part of Indiana Private College Week. Prospective students and their
families interested in the college selection process will experience the unique personalities
of each campus through tours, informational sessions, and conversations with current
students and staff.
A complete list of participating campuses, event schedules, and registration information
is available at icindiana.org/pcw.
“Students and their families can make the best decision about where to attend by seeing
the dorms and classrooms, meeting with faculty and staff, and seeing themselves thriving
on campus,” said Dr. Dottie L. King, president and CEO of Independent Colleges of
Indiana.
“We aim to show every student and family that an Indiana private college education
is attainable and affordable,” said King. “In addition to federal and state grants,
including the 21st Century Scholarship, ICI colleges and universities provide millions
of scholarship dollars to students, making a top-tier college degree a dream come
true for tens of thousands of students.”
Visitors between the ages of 16 and 20 touring ICI campuses during Private College
Week will have the chance to enter a drawing for an Apple iPad. Entry forms and rules
will be available from each campus.
Although Indiana’s private colleges encourage and welcome visitors throughout the
year, this concentrated week offers students an opportunity to visit as many campuses
as they would like without missing school. Individual tours may also be scheduled
upon personal request.
