Durham College (DC) offered more than 3,600 prospective students, along with their friends, families and the broader community, an opportunity to experience the college first-hand during its annual Fall Open House on November 14.

Doors were open at the Oshawa and Whitby campuses, and the Pickering Learning Site, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the facilities, take guided tours, check out support services and visit individual program classrooms and labs to speak with professors and students.

Durham College President Don Lovisa was also on-hand to answer questions and meet with potential students and their families. Guests also had the chance to meet members of Team Experience and win prizes including a GoPro camera.

“It was wonderful to be able to talk with so many potential students and their families,” said Lovisa. “Events like Open House give us the opportunity to share the DC experience with prospective students, their families and our community. We hope to see many of those who attended in our classrooms in the future.”
