Live bands played on a stage outside of the student union. The United States Army was also on hand to assist people with rock climbing. A bouncy house was also on campus for young children to enjoy.
Besides the traditional college option, other options including-online and distance learning, are available. 27 masters degrees, nine bachelor completion programs, and other educational programs can be found online.
Associate Dean for the Division of Continuing Education, Dave Stewart was located in the student union during the open house to talk to people about online education.
