Designed for all prospective students, and for those who are considering returning to school sometime in the future, this event is open to any interested member of the community. Department Chairs and faculty members will be available to provide information about courses and programs offered at NIC s Comox Valley and Campbell River Campuses. North Island College President, Dr. Lou Dryden, will be on hand to meet and welcome all those attending. Students about to graduate from high school this year, as well as those who are in Grades 10 and 11, can find out about the educational programs and services available.
Parents are also welcome and encouraged to attend.
North Island College students come from many backgrounds. Although most people think college students are all recent high school graduates, many of the students have been out of school for some time, working and raising families. For one reason or another many college students are studying on a part-time basis. Courses are scheduled to allow maximum accessibility for these students. Adults who are considering a career change often enroll in one or two courses in order to identify areas of interest, later completing full-time programs.
