The weekend is a cornerstone in Amherst's commitment to diversity. It spans three days and allows prospective students to catch a glimpse of the many aspects of campus life. Attracting a diverse group of just under 80 students from as far away as Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the weekend promised to be exciting and eventful.
Many events stand out which exemplify the curiosity and vitality of the group of perspectives.
In a social sense, Fusion, organized by our very own Patty Chang gave students a chance to meet Amherst students in an informal venue. Affinity groups, including La Causa , Asian Students Association , and the Black Students Union all hosted various cultural events for the visiting students. Prospectives also had an opportunity to get a taste of the classroom experience in Monday classes and were able to speak with Deans of Admission directly about the admissions process.
