Business Wire, July 31, 2008

FLINT, Mich. -- Kettering University has the faculty, the labs, and the programs to bring theory and practice together in engineering, business, math, science and technology better than any other learning environment. That's why Kettering has planned an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, at its campus in Flint. "Discover Kettering" is open to anyone wanting to see how Kettering takes hands-on learning to the next level, said Frank Hribar, vice president for Enrollment Services.

"Kettering has some of the best engineering facilities open to undergraduates in the world," Hribar explained. "Our faculty will be in the classrooms and labs, ready to talk to students and parents who want to experience the campus during our Discover Kettering open house. You'll have an opportunity to discuss Kettering's majors, minors, and academic concentrations, such as computer gaming and system and data security. Kettering's new Pre-Med program will be featured, too," he added.

Guests attending "Discover Kettering" Aug. 9 will see Kettering's Crash Safety Center, the Fuel Cell Center, and labs in acoustics, lasers, and a wind tunnel. Plus, Kettering's new $1.2 million Bio-Engineering facilities, the Miller Life Science and Bio-Engineering Laboratories are also part of the technology that will be on display during the open house.

Prospective students and their families will have a chance to meet current faculty and students, tour campus facilities and find out more about the Kettering advantage of a real-world education coupled with real-world job experience. An Expo will allow families to learn more about student life, including the residence hall and recreation center, and Flint. Students can meet with admissions, co-op and financial aid representatives. A panel of current Kettering students will tell stories about their class and job experiences. A special session is offered for transfer students.
