On Saturday, April 11, the university welcomed admitted first‑year and transfer students to Accepted Student Day, a signature event designed to help future Owls explore academic programs, campus life and next steps toward enrollment.

Families met academic deans and faculty and connected with financial aid counselors to learn about student and family resources available across campus.

Prospective students spoke with current students, explored clubs and organizations and visited tables highlighting housing, support services and campus involvement.

Many attendees joined student led tours or attended athletic events to take the day to confirm their fall enrollment.

Throughout the day, staff and volunteers emphasized the supportive environ‑ ment that shapes the university and welcomed future students into the Owl community.
