Admitted Colonels Day Celebration

Join us on campus for our Admitted Colonels Day Celebration — a special event designed exclusively for our admitted students and their families!

Start your day with breakfast and Conversations with Colonels, featuring campus leaders, student support staff, and athletics. After a spirited welcome, explore our Student Activities Fair, connect with future classmates, and meet representatives from across campus.

Attend academic sessions in your intended major, tour campus (including residence halls and downtown Wilkes-Barre), and enjoy lunch with the Wilkes community. Families can also schedule one-on-one financial aid appointments, and students can participate in special program meet-and-greets, a Dean’s reception, and Student Bingo.

Come celebrate your achievement and discover what it truly means to be a Wilkes Colonel!
