With the new student housing now complete, Okanagan College (OC) is opening the door to its Salmon Arm campus and inviting the public in.
The college has scheduled an event for Tuesday, Jan. 21 from 3 to 6 p.m. for community members, future learners and alumni to "get a peek behind the scenes."
"We want to give everyone in the community the opportunity to experience OC and are calling it Doors Open at OC," dean of community engagement and careers Alison Gibson said in a media release. "Everyone is welcome to attend to meet and chat with members of the OC executive and leadership team, tour Salmon Arm campus points of pride, explore our learning spaces including new student housing and find out more about the College."
Participants will learn about new and existing programs offered locally and across the region, find out about CampOC 香蕉视频直播� the interactive summer day camps for kids in Grades 1 to 12 香蕉视频直播� and can enter to win tuition vouchers for InspirED (Continuing Studies and Corporate Training) programs and courses.
The event also ties in nicely with the new 60-unit student housing that officially opened on Jan. 13, with Vernon-Lumby MLA Harwinder Sandhu in attendance.
"This modern residence provides even more students with a safe, comfortable, and affordable place to live," she said in a Facebook post following the opening. "So they can focus on their studies and enjoy campus life."
The open house event is free, but registration is required and can be done through Eventbrite at .
"Whether you're looking for a new career path, you are an alumni and you'd like to reconnect, or you simply want to learn what OC is all about, there's something for everyone," Gibson added. "It's a chance where you can learn about OC and the College can hear directly from the local community."
