The Office of Admissions at Olivet Nazarene University hosts personalized campus visit days for high school students and prospective transfer students almost every weekday of the year. The team loves welcoming students and their families to the University for tours, visits with professors, recruitment meetings with athletic coaching staff and shared meals with current students.
However, in addition to these personalized campus visit opportunities, the admissions team also hosts multiple special event visit days each semester. These large group gatherings include unique moments to connect with other prospective students through social activities, large events, and in some cases, overnight stays on campus. Programming also includes insightful information about the college experience for families from campus leaders and student panels.
Purple & Gold days are about more than just sharing school spirit with prospective students —they’re about connecting the dots between finding the right college fit and seeking true purpose in one’s calling.
Come see for yourself why we believe, you belong here!
