High School Youth Campus Visits
Alumni Weekend is also a special visit weekend for high school age youth who would like to learn more about Hesston College. This is your opportunity to encourage your children and other prospective students to have “The Hesston Experience.” Prospective students who visit campus are more likely to attend Hesston College. Student visitors will sample Hesston’s special brand of college life—stay in the dorms with current students, meet professors, and participate in campus activities. If you plan to bring your student or other prospective students with you, please call the Admissions Office at 1-800-995-2757 (99LARKS). You are also invited to bring “care packages” for current Hesston students from their home communities.
