Dexter, Missouri - Three Rivers College’s Poplar Bluff campus and its Centers at Dexter, Kennett, and Malden will be holding open house events in order to showcase themselves to their communities. The Centers will be holding their open houses on Tuesday, August 6 from 2-6 p.m., while the Poplar Bluff open house will be Thursday, August 8 from 2-6 p.m. in the Bess Activity Center.
All open house events will give prospective students the opportunity to apply for admission at Three Rivers, receive help with financial aid applications, and learn about the process of registering for classes at Three Rivers. The events will also give prospective students the ability to meet Three Rivers staff, and to take a closer look at the college’s facilities and classrooms. Refreshments will be provided.
“So many people might drive past our locations and not realize everything that’s available to them,” said Bill Hampton, Director of the Center at Dexter. “We want to give them a chance to meet us in person, to see the kind of opportunities that we can offer them. We want people to visit, even if they’re just curious.”
The open house at the Poplar Bluff campus will showcase various academic programs and services during their event. Instructors from many of the college’s degree programs, such as Education, Fine Arts, and Communication will be available to talk to potential students about courses of study, along with representatives from the ACHIEVE program, the Tutoring and Learning Center, and the college’s Veterans support officer, among others. Door prizes will also be awarded.
