Prospective undergraduate students will have an opportunity to explore Wayne State University and speak with admission counselors and program representatives during Wayne State's Fall Open House, which will be held on the university's main campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11. 

"The Fall Open House will showcase Wayne State's academic programs, student services and state-of-the-art facilities," said LaJoyce Brown, interim senior director of undergraduate admissions and orientation. "I encourage prospective students and their families to visit campus to learn more about what WSU has to offer."

Visitors will have a chance to:

• Learn about WSU's academic programs.
• Look into the Irvin D. Reid Honors College's Start programs, which offer a leap ahead to highly qualified students interested in medicine, business, engineering or health sciences.
• Meet current students for firsthand details about living and learning on campus.
• Talk to representatives from financial aid, housing and several other campus departments for a heads-up on getting started.
• Go on a campus tour to check out the classrooms, libraries and residence halls.
