At Fall Open House, future students learned why Durham College (DC) is the best choice for their post-secondary education.

The Oshawa and Whitby campuses were filled with more than 2,300 visitors on Saturday, November 4. The DC community was out in full force at both campuses, with alumni, faculty, current students and employees sharing their knowledge and experience.

Attendees got a taste of everything DC has to offer, from state-of-the-art facilities like the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre and the Centre for Skilled Trades and Technology to our 145+ career-driven programs and support services.

Prospective students spoke to members of our expert faculty and explored labs and learning spaces. Registered attendees were entered into a draw to win a $5,000 tuition credit, and students were able to apply for their chosen program during the event.

Visitors to the Whitby campus were treated to culinary demonstrations by faculty members and students. In Oshawa, cosmetic techniques were on display at the Centre for Collaborative Education, while future paramedic students benefited from live patient care demonstrations.

Open House also had a lot to offer for current students who are interested in continuing their education with graduate certificates, honours bachelor’s degrees and other options.

DC will welcome prospective students once again for Program Information Nights on Tuesday, January 16 (Oshawa) and Wednesday, January 17 (Whitby). Campus tours and information sessions can also be scheduled online.
