"Prospective students and their families are invited to Cal State Northridge to experience our campus and everything we have to offer," said Verdin. "We want students to learn more about CSUN, the application process, financial aid, our various degree programs, student life and much, much more."

Visiting students will have the chance to speak one-on-one with professors, faculty and students, see the campus on a guided walking tour and attend workshops focused on the application process. Students also will view a short film depicting life at CSUN.
