(Video — segment runs approximately 6:55-7:33) UW-Madison is rolling out a new event to attract potential students. The first ever Experience Wisconsin event included campus tours, mock lectures and a resource fair. Organizers hope to give high schoolers a taste of the college life.
“This is our first year where we have essentially opened up our campus,” says Andre Phillips, senior associate director of the Office of Admission and Recruitment. “We say hello and we greet the families in the morning students have already preregistered for certain events, and we are letting them go.”
More than 1100 high schoolers from across the country attended today’s event.
