OCAD U meets with prospective students and their families at OUF

 

Tuesday, September 23, 2014 - 4:00am

Over the weekend, OCAD University faculty, staff, alumni and students were on hand to meet with more than 129,000 prospective students and their families at the Ontario Universities’ Fair, Canada’s largest post-secondary education fair, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Attendance at this year’s fair was up by more than 7% over last year. 

During the three day event, prospective students had a chance to ask questions about OCAD U’s programs, career opportunities and life on campus. Information sessions were presented four times a day showcasing specific programs and highlights of studying at OCAD U. The event gives the university an opportunity to share our stories and successes with students, parents and teachers from across the province, and invites them to our many other events such as Look Inside (October 25), National Portfolio Day (November 8) and our Portfolio Clinics (Saturdays and Sundays, November through February).

OCAD University’s Admissions & Recruitment team extends a heartfelt thanks to all those who helped make the weekend such a success:

  • Our students: Karella  Raffinan, Nicole Rebello, Zviko Mhakayakora, Jeremy Nir and Daniel Jones;
  • Our alumni: Cecilia Leddy, Sylvia Pinsonneault, Alex Thompson, Arielle Gavin, Tim Manalo, Katie McGuire, Lauren Vaile, Layne Hinton and Lucero Milchorena;
  • Our faculty, Deans and President: Sara Diamond, Spencer Harrison, JJ Lee, Dot Tuer, Caroline Langill, Gayle Nicoll and Colette Laliberté;
  • Staff from all corners of campus: Meghan O'Neill, Sayeda Akbary, Beth Kotierk, Jeff Zoeler, Kanyika Yorke, Lola Landekic, Sarah Mulholland, Kelly Faller, Andre De Freitas, Diana Bahr, Zach Moss, Deanne Fisher and Elisabeth Paradis.
