Have You Attended An Admitted Student Day Before?

Do you remember visiting campus when you were considering Southwestern?

Do you recall the excitement of the student org fair and meeting our amazing current students? Well, now you can be on the other side of the table!

Please consider signing up for our final admitted student day of the semester to give these prospective studies the best visit ever!!

 

We’re inviting student organizations to participate in our Admitted Student Day on Saturday, April 25, specifically for our annual student org fair that wraps up the event. The fair will be set up like a traditional student org fair, giving prospective students and their families a great opportunity to meet current Pirates and get a glimpse of campus life. It’s always such a fun and engaging part of the day!

 

The fair will take place in the McCombs Ballrooms from 2:30–3:00 PM. We’d love to have as many student organizations as possible participate and represent themselves. Last year, nearly 50 groups joined us, and it was a fantastic turnout.

I’ve included the link to the organization sign-up sheet here for your convenience so groups can easily register. As we get closer to the event, our SHARP Coordinators and I will follow up with additional details, reminders, and logistics.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Thank you all so much!

Behind the Curtain: Racism in Our Classrooms, Communities, and Institutions

Breaking the Cycle: How Racism is Embedded in Laws, History, Schools, and Society

On April 27th, 2026, there will be a Creative Project Presentation in F.W. Olin Room 105 from 3:05 PM to 3:45 PM focused on understanding how racism has developed over time and how it continues to influence society today. This presentation will explore the ways racism is connected to historical events, legal systems, education, and everyday experiences.

The presentation will be given by Kaddy Maravilla, Myla Wolf, Alexis Bolte, Jaylon Hardeman, and Berlin Galley as  part of Dr. Moore’s Schools, Society & Diversity class. This session will look at how racism operates beyond individual actions by examining the larger systems and structures that shape opportunities and outcomes. Participants will be encouraged to reflect, engage in discussion, and think critically about how past and present are connected.

All are welcome to attend.
