Come Chat with Us!

I mentioned in my last post that we were just getting things geared up with our LEOLive online chats. We host them generally twice a month beginning in late September. We just hosted our third session for the year last week.

So what are these chats? Well, they’re a great way to get to know more about the university. The sessions are hosted by current SLU students as well as our admission counselors. Beginning in January 2009, we’ll also have representatives from our Office of Student Financial Services online during each of the chats to answer questions from students and parents about the all-important topic of financial aid. Staff members from Student Involvement and Residence Life will participate later in the spring as well.

While there is no substitute for actually coming to campus and seeing it firsthand, the chats provide a great way for students who can’t visit campus to get more insight about life at Leo. The students will answer questions about pretty much anything – dorm life, classes, professors, majors, the social scene, what’s happening on campus and around the area. You name it. Admission counselors are also always online to answer questions about the admission process. The financial aid team will be represented in our chats from January through April as parents begin filling out the FAFSA and getting down to business on figuring out how to pay for college.

I hope you will plan to join us for an upcoming chat session. To view the schedule and register online for a session, visit www.saintleo.edu/chat. I hope to see you online soon!
