At Fall Fest, you’ll have the opportunity to meet current students, faculty, and staff; attend faculty-led sessions about academic departments; and hear from alumni about the long-lasting impact of a Georgian Court education.
“Georgian Court is a university unlike any other,” said Dr. Davis. “Grounded in the values of the Sisters of Mercy, we’re proud to showcase our mission and show prospective students what sets us apart.”
The day’s agenda includes campus tours, giving you a closer look at our historic buildings, state-of-the-art classrooms, and hands-on learning spaces.
