Fall Open House

Except for crisp apples and the changing of the leaves, nothing marks the turn of the season and arrival of fall quite like a college open house! Our Fall Open House program will allow you to meet our faculty, learn about student life, explore our beautiful campus, and more.

This program within our Fall Open House offers prospective students the opportunity to explore the academic experience and supportive community at PC. This session is open to all attendees, and is especially valuable for students who are the first in their families to attend college, those from historically underrepresented backgrounds in higher education, and anyone seeking a strong network of support and mentorship during their college journey. Participants will engage with current students, faculty, and staff to learn about the resources available to foster academic success, personal growth, and a sense of belonging at PC. Details on the admission process and opportunity scholarships will also be shared.

Lunch is offered during this separate program, so please indicate your attendance on the registration page that follows.
