BILINGUAL CAMPUS WALKING TOUR, MULTICULTURAL RECEPTION PART OF K-STATE'S ALL-UNIVERSITY OPEN HOUSE APRIL 14 IN MANHATTAN

MANHATTAN -- Future college students and their families can check out what life at Kansas State University is all about at K-State's All-University Open House, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 14, in Manhattan.

Open house is a chance to explore academic opportunities and student life at K-State through tours, interactive displays and games. Open house also offers food and entertainment, including the Kansas City Marching Cobras drill team, which will perform at noon on the Bosco Plaza outside the K-State Student Union.

K-State will have a multicultural reception for prospective students and their families from 11 a.m. to noon in the Bluemont Room at the Union. Visitors can meet other students and campus representatives from admissions, financial aid, housing and academic departments.

Walking tours of campus will be available every half hour, starting from the admissions booth at the Union. The 1 p.m. tour will be offered in both English and Spanish.

In buildings across campus, K-State's colleges and academic departments will have information about the more than 250 majors offered at K-State. Prospective students can take a free assessment to see which careers -- and K-State majors -- suit them. Assessments are offered every hour beginning at 10 a.m. in 14 Holton Hall.
