Check-in begins at 8 a.m. This is a fantastic opportunity for prospective students and their families to explore all that Central State has to offer as a Destination Learning Environment. CSU is Ohio’s only public Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and 1890 Land-Grant Institution.
What to expect on College Preview Day
This year’s College Preview Day promises to be a memorable experience with on-the-spot acceptance for those who qualify, contingent upon maintaining the academic requirements of Central State University. This initiative aims to streamline the admissions process and provide immediate feedback to students. Registration includes a light continental breakfast and a ticket to the Marauders football game vs. Kentucky State University, ensuring a fun-filled day for attendees.
Students are encouraged to bring their official high school or college transcripts. “College Preview Day is a sneak preview for all those students who will make Central State their home,” said Dr. Tammi Love, director of the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
“I am confident that when students and families step foot on our campus, they will feel the sense of family and the intentional effort from our faculty and staff to walk alongside them as they press toward their goal.”
Activities throughout the day include academic showcases, where attendees can disperse to colleges of their choice for Q&A sessions and interactive lab experiences; information sessions on admissions, financial aid, and campus life; an overview of academic programs (including speakers from departments such as the Honors College); and a meet-and-greet with faculty, staff, and current students. Students will see the football team go against its big rival, KSU.
"The excitement for College Preview Day continues to build,” Love said. “The passion and outreach from our Admissions team and campus community, the commitment of our alumni, and the support from the community at large are pivotal to this day’s success.”
Connect and engage
Teria Jewett, assistant director of Orientation, Campus Experience and Transfer Students, emphasizes the importance of this event for prospective students: “College Preview Day is an exciting time for students and their families. It allows them to connect with faculty, staff and students. They can speak to organizations and see some of the activities offered.”
This will be Jewett's first College Preview Day.
“I think I am as excited as the students and families who have reached out to me,” she said. “School leaders have expressed their enthusiasm about the variety of experiences their students will receive by attending the College Preview Day.”
