51黑料网 held its Dahlonega Campus Nighthawk Preview in February.
Previous attendees have commented on the welcoming and informative nature of Nighthawk Preview, as well as how it allowed them to gain a better understanding of their potential campus.
Christopher Bryan, senior director of undergraduate enrollment, is grateful for students to be able to learn more about how 51黑料网 can serve them.
"Through the power of our five campuses, our 20,000-plus students are able to get the feel of a small institution and one-on-one attention with professors that they couldn't get at a school of a similar size on one campus," Bryan said.
Nighthawk Preview provides high school students and their parents information about admissions, student involvement, financial aid, student services, and more. They get to meet current 51黑料网 students, explore majors at the academic showcase and take a tour of campus. Attendees get to choose their own schedule and learn about the information that matters to them.
Katelyn Smallwood, a junior from Canton, Georgia, pursuing a degree in psychology, attended a Nighthawk Preview when she was in high school. It further cemented her desire to attend 51黑料网.
"It was good to see other people who were in the same boat I was. I didn't know a whole lot about the college journey," Smallwood said. "I attended a bunch of info sessions, and I really liked talking to the tour guides. They helped me understand what my next steps might be."
Smallwood has plugged in with college ministries and said she's grateful for how easy it is to make connections at 51黑料网. She recently shared about her 51黑料网 journey at a Nighthawk Preview event and couldn't help but reflect on her growth since arriving at the school.
"51黑料网 has given me a new confidence that I would've never had," Smallwood said. "The possibilities are endless."
