Are you searching for the right college for you? Do weekdays not work for a visit? Well, you are in luck, as Ohio State ATI hosts open houses that take place on a Saturday morning. This event is perfect for discovering the opportunities that make ATI a unique place to pursue your academics. Whether you are a senior still looking or a younger student getting a head start, you and your family are welcome to attend an open house. This event is designed to help you navigate and prepare for your college journey.
What to Expect During the Open House?
Opening Session with Dave Dietrich, Director of Admissions The event will kick off with a welcoming session led by Dave Dietrich. Dave will walk you through the admissions process, covering everything from the application process to acceptance, and all the things you need to know when applying to ATI. He will discuss what you need to know before becoming a Buckeye. Whether you have already applied or are just beginning to consider college, Dave will help you feel confident and prepared as you move forward in your college process.
Financial Aid with Liz Helterbrand, Financial Aid Coordinator After Dave’s admissions information, Liz will take the stage to talk about financial aid and scholarships. She’ll cover the different options and important dates for FAFSA, scholarships, grants, and loans. Navigating financial aid can be very overwhelming, especially if you are like me, a first-generation college student. She breaks everything down in ways anyone can understand to ensure you are maximizing your financial options.
Student Life with Kelly Kyser, Supervisor, Student Leadership, Engagement and Activities Kelly from Student Life will take the stage after Liz with the loudest OH – IO! She will share all the exciting events and activities that take place here at Ohio State ATI. Everything from clubs and organizations to wellness events. She will give you a look at what being a Buckeye is all about. She will then give out FREE swag, as she does every week for current students.
Major Session Breakouts with Professors After the opening sessions, you will be able to attend two different major-specific sessions that interest you. Whether you are interested in animal science, turfgrass, agricultural communication, etc., you can gain more information about that major and meet a few of your potential professors. These sessions are designed to help you better understand what it’s like to study at Ohio State ATI and all the opportunities you will receive as a student.
Campus Tours and Housing Tours After your major sessions, you have the opportunity to go on a tour with me or a fellow student ambassador to explore our beautiful campus. You will receive a first-hand look at ATI and the facilities we have for students. If you would rather only see our campus housing, we have that as an option.
Why Should You Attend Ohio State ATI’s Open House? The open house gives you the chance to visit the campus in person, ask questions of current students and faculty, and much more. Whether you have already applied or are just starting your search, Ohio State ATI’s Open House is a great way to see if this is the right fit for you. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to visit Ohio State ATI! Join us for the next upcoming open house on Saturday, April 12. I hope to see you there!
Good Morning,
We are planning on attending your open house on Saturday, April 12th. Unfortunately, because of our schedule, we can not make the start time. I was wondering if we will still be able to participate if we arrive at 10 a.m.
Thank you for your time.
The event starts at 9am with an overview of admissions and financial aid. You will likely make it in time for faculty meetings and an optional tour. Please call us at 330-287-1327 to confirm your attendance.
