This is a FREE event where students are invited to spend the day in workshops that help them learn what our university programs are like! Many workshops are hands-on and quite interactive. Our goal is to help high school students understand what it would be like to study in one of our departments at Northern Michigan University.
The day features four class sessions, we provide light refreshments for breakfast and a full lunch at Northern Lights Dining for all high school students who attend.
For those who are registered, you will receive an email with required paperwork, a final schedule with suggested supplies/materials and appropriate clothing for your classes (dance, art, etc.) on March 18th.
