“We want anyone considering attending Cal State East Bay to join us and explore the vast array of academic programs and student services available, as well as to discover the beauty of our campus, which has a panoramic view of the bay and the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Amanda Segura, director of enrollment development and communications for CSUEB. “We encourage parents and other family members to come as well.”
Attendees will learn about the university’s admission requirements and financial aid, student life, athletics and academic support programs.
Faculty members teaching the most popular majors and courses of study ranging from business to pre-nursing will be on hand to provide information and answer questions, while current students will discuss and answer questions about student clubs and organizations.
Tours will be offered starting at 9:30 a.m., commencing from the New University Union lawn area on the southwest side of the campus. The opening session will take place at the same spot.
