On Oct. 21 an amazing event happened on campus: creative arts day. Creative arts day is a great way for high school students to get involved in the art, theater, music and dance programs offered at Western. It also helps the students get to know more about the college itself and see if Western is the school for them. The day was full of tours around campus, a great lunch at Valsetz and being able to see the fantastic options offered here at Western.
This is a brilliant opportunity for high school students because, “it’s really helpful for the students to see the ca
mpus, and get a familiarity and see how it feels to be on the campus, because that’s really influential on deciding where you go to college,” said Sydney Culpepper, a Western ambassador who gives tours of the campus and helps people get from session to session. “It’s also really nice to see the different opportunities because a lot of students don’t know the things that they can do when they come to college.”
Already being familiar with the campus before getting to college is incredibly helpful. This is one of the many things Western has to offer and since a lot of high school students aren’t aware of what a college can provide, this makes sure that they are informed of the opportunities presented. The possibilities here at Western are close to endless and spending the day here shows how impressive Western Oregon is.
