Ice Cream Socials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you and your family arriving in Pullman the night before an Experience WSU<\/strong> event (March 27 and April 10)? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, drop by the CUE atrium (convenient parking in the CUE garage<\/a>) from 6-7:30 pm to enjoy a Ferdinand\u2019s ice cream bar and meet faculty, staff, and current students from your major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will also raffle off a $500 and a $1,000 award<\/strong> to Voiland College students that will be applied to your Fall 2026 tuition for those who attend the ice cream social!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n

Academic Presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d love to invite you to a Voiland College Virtual Session, <\/strong>where you\u2019ll meet faculty from your major and get an inside look at your program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sessions are major-specific and faculty-led,<\/strong> so you\u2019ll hear directly from professors who teach your classes, along with academic advisors and a Voiland College student ambassador. You\u2019ll learn what it\u2019s really like to be a student in your program and get your questions answered live.<\/p>\n\n\n
