WINONA LAKE – Lancer Days at Grace College offer high school students and their families the opportunity to experience campus life first-hand. Upcoming Lancer Days will be Oct. 21 and Nov. 11 at Grace College, 200 Seminary Drive, Winona Lake, according to a news release from Grace. “Close to half of high school fall breaks will correspond with our October 21 Lancer Day,” said Mark Pohl, dean of admissions at Grace. He encourages students to consider coming then. “It’s a great opportunity to visit Grace without interrupting a busy school week,” he said. Lancer Days begin at 8:30 a.m. with a faculty and student panel, and conclude at 2 p.m. with a faculty fair. In between, participants discover what Grace College offers by attending chapel, touring campus, meeting students and staff and eating lunch at Alpha Dining Commons. While prospective students may also schedule individual tours of campus, Lancer Days offer the unique opportunity to explore Grace College with their peers in an intentional way, the news release states. “At Lancer Days, students survey the 70-plus majors at Grace, learn about diverse student activities and clubs, discover financial assistance opportunities and see first-hand how Grace College is making quality, Christian education attractive and affordable,” said Cindy Sisson, vice president of enrollment management and marketing at Grace. Game day passes are available for sporting events during the student’s visit and high school juniors and seniors may spend one night in a residence hall. This year, Grace achieved a record total enrollment of 2,333 students. The Winona Lake campus is home to 1,295 undergraduate students, the largest population since Grace’s founding in 1948.
