Time Out for Tech Happening Thursday

All high school seniors and their families are invited to Arkansas Tech University for Time Out for Tech 2017 on Thursday, Jan. 26.

The annual preview day, which will be hosted by the  Office of Admissions, provides prospective Arkansas Tech students with a chance to learn more about the academic programs, student housing options and campus life opportunities available on the Russellville campus.

Check-in and a registered student organization fair will start at 8:30 a.m. at Tucker Coliseum, and the opening session will begin at 9:30 a.m.

Pre-registration for the event closed on Jan. 13. High school seniors who did not pre-register may still attend Time Out for Tech 2017 by printing out the late registration form, filling it out and bringing it to Tucker Coliseum the morning of the event.

There will be a drawing during the opening session for three tuition scholarships to Arkansas Tech for the fall 2017 semester. In order to win, individuals must be high school seniors and present.

Following the opening session, high school seniors and their families will have an opportunity to meet with faculty from the academic program that interests them the most.

Time Out for Tech will also offer campus and residence hall tours, a chance to meet with representatives from student organization and sessions with staff members from such campus entities as financial aid, athletics and Greek life.

Time Out for Tech participants will receive a free T-shirt and a photo opportunity with campus ambassador Jerry the Bulldog.
