Yield Season!

Yield season is in full swing here at Stonehill College! What exactly is yield? "Yield" is the number of students that decide to come to Stonehill out of the number that have been accepted. At this time of year you can often hear Admissions Counselors bragging to one another about their high yield in a particular geographic territory. It's kind of like our own mini claim to fame.

Yield events at Stonehill include open houses, off campus receptions and Days at the Hill. We recently had five Days at the Hill which are mini open houses that are separated by major. This gives accepted students the opportunity to meet current students in their anticipated major, speak with faculty, and learn about what Stonehill has to offer in their area of academic interests. Below are some photos from a few recent Days at the Hill!

Dogs come to Open Houses too! They are part of the family after all!

Vacation Week!

While many of you may been on break this week from school, we're working harder than ever! April break tends to be one of the busiest weeks of the year at Stonehill College. We greet hundreds of visitors from Accepted Students to Prospective Sophomores and Juniors who are just starting their college search. Since it's such a crazy week we suggest that you register for a tour or Group Information Session in advance by calling 508-565-1373. We have limited space so please call early for the best availability. For dates and times check out this link to the visit calendar http://www.stonehill.edu/x13440.xml.

If you can't fit us in over April break, there's plenty of time this summer! The summer calendar is also available online so that you can plan ahead. http://www.stonehill.edu/x12725.xml

We look forward to meeting you!
