OPEN HOUSE WELCOMES VISITORS CSU’s largest-ever Spring Open House brought more than 1,850 visitors to campus. Throughout the day, prospective and admitted students, their families and the general public learned more about the University’s unique brand of engaged learning and checked out the vibrant campus in the heart of the city. Guests kept busy with a variety of activities, including campus tours; a campus fair featuring 40-plus CSU programs, departments and student clubs; special events in each of CSU’s colleges; information sessions on such topics as financial aid, academic programs, and selecting a major; and more. CSU will again open its doors for Spring Open House in April 2014. Visit www.csuohio.edu for details.
