Prospective students visit Wesleyan campus

On Friday Sept. 16, admis-
sions staff at Wesleyan hosted
the first Texas Wesleyan Sneak
Preview of the semester.
This was a chance for pro-
spective students to visit and
learn more about the campus.
From 9:30 a.m. to 12:15
p.m., prospective students at-
tended a class, spoke with two
professors, toured the campus,
spoke with financial aid staff
and dined at Dora Roberts
Residential Restaurant.
Tiffany Smith, admissions
coordinator, headed up the
sneak preview.
Smith said she has been
working on making it a suc-
cess since prospective students
sign up for it will really benefit
from it.
Smith also said she wanted
the prospective students to see
all of Wesleyans attributes.
"[The Sneak Preview will]
give them a full view of Wes-
leyan," Smith said.
She said there were two pro-
spective students who signed
up for the sneak preview last
Friday One of them was from
Austin and the other from
Bedford.
Smith said she wanted to
accommodate them as best
she could. Instead of follow-
ing an itinerary she asked
students what their interests
were and planned the rest of
the day accordingly.
She said one student was in-
terested in kinesiology and the
other in education, but both
were interested in music.
Once she discovered their
interests, she had them meet
with Dr. Pamela Rast, chair of
the kinesiology department
and associate professor, and
Dr. Carlos Martinez, dean of
the school of education.
She said she also showed
them around the residence
halls.
The prospective students
saw a showcase room in
Stella Russell Hall for a tradi-
tional college residence hall
room and a showcase room
in West Village Student
Apartments for a nontradi-
tional college residence hall
room.
Smith said once they were
finished with the visit, stu-
dents received a giveaway
bag containing a baseball cap,
mug, T-shirt and her business
card.
"At the end of the day, I do a
wrap-up session and see if they
have any questions," Smith
said.
Melissa Marsh (19), was one
of the prospective students.
Marsh said she found the
sneak peak helpful and recom-
