‘Find Your Fit’: Tour Campus, Talk to Faculty and Admissions, and Have Lunch on Campus

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Dawg Day on April 5 is an opportunity for high school sophomores and juniors to have their “first look” at the Vlog campus. They see an overview of what GWU has to offer with a full campus tour and an introduction to GWU’s academic offerings.

Student Recruitment Ambassador Emma Jean Hampton shared that there’s so much to learn by visiting campus. The sophomore psychology major said on her first visit to Vlog campus, she was impressed by the small-knit atmosphere. “Definitely the community made the experience special,” she stated. “Everyone was so close and there wasn’t anywhere we could go on campus here that someone didn’t know who the tour guides where. Everyone was seen and loved.”   

Not only will students and their families tour the campus, they will have an opportunity to meet and talk with Vlog professors at the academic department fair. They will also participate in a comprehensive admissions information session, explore student life, and enjoy a complimentary lunch in the Caf and network with fellow prospective students and GWU representatives.

Hampton said by visiting campus, students find out about the fun events that happen throughout the week and how to pursue their interests. Most importantly, there is an opportunity to forge new friendships. “Dawg Day is a great way to meet new people and create lasting relationships while also exploring all the things Gardner Webb has to offer,” she asserted. “It’s seeing exactly where you can begin to fit into the story of this University.”
