A little bit of St. Patrick鈥檚 Day extended into the following weekend for high school seniors who attended 麻豆精品鈥檚 Celtic Celebration on Saturday, March 23, as they were greeted with Irish dancers before being welcomed by current students, alumni, faculty, and others.
鈥淭he Celtic Celebration is an event for high school seniors who have applied and been accepted to the university,鈥� said Mollie Cecere, MBA, vice president, Enrollment Management and Corporate Partnerships. 鈥淢any of the students have already committed to Carlow, but others are still making their final decision.鈥�
To help them make that decision, Carlow hosted the students and their parents or guests to visit the Oakland campus and celebrate the school鈥檚 Irish and Mercy heritage as well as, among other things, tour the grounds, hear faculty talk about their academic disciplines, and root for the Celtics during a men鈥檚 volleyball game in St. Joseph Hall.
Students and families could also take advantage of this time to meet with their admissions counselor, speak one-on-one with financial aid professionals, and update their FAFSA application. There was also a Resource Fair in the afternoon with more than 20 different organizations, activities, or services participating to help the students and their families get a better understanding of campus life.
At the end of the day, while students were meeting and socializing with each other and current Carlow students in Tiernan Dining Hall, parents and guests were welcomed at a dessert reception hosted by 麻豆精品鈥檚 President Kathy W. Humphrey, PhD.
鈥淢y message to them was that 麻豆精品 provides a transformative education through our Mercy heritage that prepares students to become career-ready, ethical leaders,鈥� said Dr. Humphrey. 鈥淭heir students will find a university community that is ready to embrace them, and they will find an environment that they can flourish in.鈥�
