Blue Ridge Community College is hosting a free Open House

Blue Ridge Community College is hosting a free Open House on Dec. 7 to give
the community a chance to learn more about its programs, ask questions,
meet faculty and staff, and even take a campus tour.
Now is the perfect time to get started on your career through Blue Ridge,
according to Blue Ridge recruiter Cearra Selbrade.
“Countless jobs are hiring right now, and they are looking for well-trained
professionals to fill these spots,” Selbrade said. “Our Open House gives
prospective students a chance to see what we have to offer, like our
horticulture, human services, or teacher prep programs.”
The Open House takes place in the College’s Sink Building on its Henderson
County campus. This event is open to everyone. If you are a high school
senior deciding what to do after graduation, or are someone looking to make a
career change, see what Blue Ridge programs can do for you.
Current high school students are encouraged to ask questions about Blue
Ridge’s Career and College Promise (CCP) program. Through CCP, students
can take college courses, and earn tuition-free college credits, all before
graduating high school.
The newest addition to Open House is the inclusion of campus tours, which will
allow visitors a sneak peek of campus.
“People want to see what our campus has to offer, what our classrooms are
like, and meet our faculty and staff, so a campus tour is the perfect thing for
them,” Selbrade added.
Open House attendees can join a tour group before it leaves from the Sink
Building. The tour guides will be taking tours throughout the event.
Whether you’d like to ask questions about FAFSA or courses, find out more
about CCP, or figure out your transfer options, Blue Ridge Open House has
something for you.
