Beginning with registration inside Wisdom Gym from 8 to 9:30 a.m., Texan Tour includes a full day of events, allowing campus visitors the chance to learn about Tarleton through conversations with current students and sessions with representatives from financial aid and scholarships, academic departments, undergraduate admissions, and residential living and learning.

Participants can learn more about Tarleton’s degree programs at an academic fair, enjoy lunch at the Dining Hall and a get look at residence hall showrooms.

Later in the day, representatives from many of the university’s 100-plus student organizations host an information fair, and Tarleton faculty and staff will share insights on everything from recreational sports to academic advising.
