H.O.M.E. 2012

We invite you to join us for H.O.M.E. (Hampshire's Overnight Multicultural Event) from 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 21 through 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 22. Come celebrate diversity, learn about Hampshire's multicultural community, and connect with our students and faculty.

The best way to understand how a Hampshire education works is to meet our creative, intellectually engaged students and hear about their experiences at Hampshire. You'll also have the opportunity for a more in-depth look at the centers, programs, and resources at our College. H.O.M.E. is a unique opportunity to get a first-hand look at what life at Hampshire is all about.

H.O.M.E. takes place in conjunction with our Open House and Campus Visit Day programs. During Open House on Sunday, October 21, enjoy panel discussions with faculty and students, explore the campus, eat lunch with our community, and attend special sessions on the admissions process and financial aid. In the evening at H.O.M.E., have dinner with faculty members, see student performances, then spend the night on campus with a student host. Continue to explore Hampshire through Campus Visit Day on Monday, October 22. Create your own schedule of classes, tour campus, and attend special sessions.

Register online for H.O.M.E. by Friday, October 12.
