CORVALLIS - Oregon State University is hosting a series of spring and Saturday visits that give prospective students and their families the chance to learn the basics of university life.

Dates set aside for Spring Visits include: Feb. 19; March 30; April 27; and May 11. The February visit coincides with the Presidents Day holiday, while the March visit is scheduled when many high schools and community colleges are out for spring break.

Saturday tours are less formalized, but can offer opportunities to talk with OSU students and faculty, as well as learn about student organizations and involvement activities. Saturday tours are scheduled: Feb. 3 and 24; March 17; April 21; May 12; and June 9.

All programs are free. For information and registration, contact OSU Admission and Orientation at 800-291-4192 or 541-737-2626. Information is also available on the World Wide Web.

Spring Visits begin at noon with optional tours of OSU facilities. The events offer an opportunity to spend an afternoon meeting with OSU students, faculty and staff. Activities include workshops for transfer students, academic college presentations and overviews of the OSU Honors College, international opportunities, housing and dining, financial aid, and multicultural opportunities. There will also be sessions that encourage students, parents and family members to ask questions about university life.

Students unable to attend the sessions can schedule weekday campus tours.
