Departments Invited to Showcase Themselves

an open house that will showcase your department. For instance the Science
Department always hosts an open house for the 6th through 12th graders
who bring their science projects to exhibit on that day. We expect about
200 exhibitors, in addition to their parents and teachers, and some
siblings. Many students are coming to a college campus for the first
time, so all departments are encouraged to have a presence on this day.
For example, non-science departments could produce a display with a
scientific theme, or help out with the machinations of Fair Day itself.
