Rock Chalk Days
Prioritize what matters to you most!

Whether you want to dive into academics, campus life, student involvement, or traditions, Rock Chalk Days allow you to prioritize what matters most to your college experience.
What to expect
Rock Chalk Day will include an Admissions welcome session, academic sessions, and optional afternoon opportunities. Students are able to choose which sessions they would like to attend and customize their visit experience.
