To get the inside scoop, register for one of two Drama Demonstrations

The U of A Open House is a full-day event for future students to experience what the U of A has to offer. Students (and parents) can chat with representatives from faculties, departments, student services, and clubs from all over campus in one location – the Butterdome Booth Fair.
