The Catholic University of America's Office of Admissions will host Cardinal Visit Days every Tuesday and Wednesday in April.
High school students and their families are invited to campus as they begin the college search process. On Cardinal Visit Days, students and families may attend one of three information sessions and tours that begin at 10:30 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. The information session is a 30-minute presentation led by one of CUA's admissions counselors. It is followed by an hourlong walking tour of campus led by a current CUA student.
Cardinal Visit Days also offer an opportunity to hear about academic programs, learn about scholarship and financial aid programs, see what life is like at Catholic University, and interview with an admissions counselor.
"Cardinal Visit Days are our annual campus visit days for prospective students - high school sophomores, juniors and admitted seniors," says Christina Mica, dean of university admissions. "It is a wonderful way for these students and their families to meet current students and learn more about the academic, social and spiritual opportunities at CUA. Hosted annually in the spring, it is a great time to tour CUA with the cherry blossoms and tulips out all around campus."

The Office of Admissions also will be hosting two other events in April. On Thursday, April 14, new admitted students who have been invited into the University Honors Program and their parents will be able to attend An Honors Evening . The event will feature a dinner, reception with honors faculty members and students, and a welcome from Peter Shoemaker, program director and associate professor of French. Students also have the option of spending a night on campus in a residence hall.
On Friday, April 15, the University will host Odyssey Day . In an annual tradition, admitted undergraduate students and their families will travel to campus to learn more about academic programs, extracurricular activities, and the school that may become home over the next few years.
