Thank you for your interest in visiting The W. Group visits are designed to meet the needs of groups of 15 to 60 guests. The admissions office welcomes your group; however, due to the popularity of group visit requests, we may not be able to accommodate all group requests. Please read the following list of conditions and expectations before you submit the Group Visit Request Form:
Admissions Presentation and Campus Tour (90 + minutes total)1) A 30 minute admissions presentation will be conducted by an admissions counselor. This presentation focuses on the University, the admissions process and requirements, and a brief question and answer period. Standard admissions literature is also distributed to students.
2)The walking campus tour immediately follows the presentation. The tour lasts approximately sixty minutes and is led by a current student.The campus tour may include entry into a classroom building, the recreation center and student center.
All groups must be accompanied by at least one adult chaperone per fifteen visitors. All chaperones must remain with the group at all times, including the entire campus tour. Group chaperones, not the student tour guides, are responsible for the behavior of their students while they are guests on our campus. Tour guides have the authority to end a campus tour if student(s) behave inappropriately.
