On Oct. 10, the University of La Verne Office of Admissions hosted
the overnight event for prospective students from several local high schools.
Casey Heinen, Anna Gonzalez, Marbelly Castellanos, Kristell Faustino, Erin
Clark, Angelina Galvan, Robert Moore and Portia Goodrum toured the new Arts
and Communications Building with ULV freshman journalism student Brian Castillo.
The next event of this nature will be held Nov. 13.
Through the Hosts program, high school students were invited to the
University of La Verne to give them a sense of what university life is all
about. This year's Hosts Program for freshmen began at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 10.
"About 15 high school students came to the University of La Verne,"
said Andi Nuñez, overnight coordinator and student worker at the
Admissions Office.
Invitations were sent to students who have shown interest in ULV in
the past.
"About a couple thousand invitations are sent, and we get about
25 replies," she said.
The program included a tour of the school.
Parents who drop their children off at ULV also participate in the tour.
However, after the tour, they leave so that the students can get a full
experience.
"They get to spend the night in the dorms with one of the hosts,
they go to classes with their host, and they also get to go to the dining
hall," she said.
High school students came from different areas, including La Verne,
San Dimas, Pomona and Riverside, Nuñez said.
The next Hosts program will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 13.
