Behind on Email
‘Tis the season of admissions emails, campus visits, and Visiting Days!
Please forgive me if I do not respond to your email right away. I promise I will respond soon.
I really look forward to meeting everyone coming to Visiting Days this year. My advice, as I posted last year: wear comfortable shoes. This seems to be an important life lesson, which I have only recently mastered.

Visiting Days - March 15-17, 2008
I have been getting lots of questions regarding the upcoming Visiting Days event. Here are some general thoughts on the matter for those of you debating on attending. I attended Visiting Days during my application process. I found it extremely valuable to introduce students to the institutional culture, programs, and people at SI. If you are unsure if SI is the right place for you, these 2-3 days can really help make up your mind.
Some of the highlights:
-Tours of campus, libraries, and local housing options
-Information about specializations directly from current students
-Social activities with admitted and current students around Ann Arbor
-Lunch with faculty in your specialization
-Info on career services, alumni presentations, financial aid info
-More socializing with admitted and current students
-Did I mention free and yummy meals?
We all look forward to meeting the next generation of SI students. Of course, if you can't make it for Visiting Days SI admissions is always happy to arrange individual campus visits.
