Southeast sets Oct. 10 as Show Me Day for prospective students

Southeast Missouri State University is inviting prospective students and their parents to attend Show Me Day on Oct. 10 at Southeast's campus.

The day will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. in the Show Me Center.

Students then are invited to browse through a Student Life Fair after they register from 9:30 to 10 a.m.

The fair will allow prospective students to meet Southeast students and staff from areas such as campus ministries, career linkages, dining services, Greek life, academic support centers, residence life and the honors program, according to Southeast.

The day officially begins at 10 a.m. with a presentation by the director of admissions, followed by an introduction of Southeast admissions staff and student leaders.

Prospective students also can meet Southeast's Redhawks mascot, Rowdy, who will make a special guest appearance with the Southeast Sundancers and cheerleaders.

After the presentation, an academic fair will take place in the Student Recreation Center East Gym and will feature informational displays of the university's various academic departments.

After participating in the Academic Fair, prospective students may attend presentations on financing their education, living on campus and transferring to Southeast.

Show Me Day will conclude with a tour of campus and the opportunity to dine during lunch in Towers Cafe.

Students interested in the arts are invited to visit Southeast's River Campus, the only campus in the state dedicated solely to fine arts.

Tours of the Holland School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Jane Stephens Honors House also will follow lunch.
