Open Day opens doors to future students
For aspiring higher education students wanting to explore career choices, seek advice or see inside Australia’s largest university, August 2-3 can only mean one thing - Monash Open Day 2014.
Whether in Years 10-12 or even a mature age student, Open Day at Monash is a fun way to get a taste of university life, obtain face-to-face advice from staff or current students and narrow down career options.
Close to 1000 student ambassadors will be located across the University’s Peninsula, Berwick, Caulfield and Clayton campuses, helping perspective students and their families make the most out of the 600 activities on offer at Monash Open Day.
The ambassadors, easily identifiable, in their blue hoodies or wearing faculty identification, will make their way around campus grounds answering questions, showing people around and offering unique insight into what life at Monash is like from a student’s perspective.
