Two events designed to bring high school students to the Chadron State College campus to learn more about what the college has to offer have joined forces this year.
Health Professions Day…in which high school students visit the campus to learn the next steps in seeking a career in the health sciences…and the Eagle Open House…aimed specifically at getting students to come to CSC…are being held together on Monday.
Jill Mack, CSC director of health professions, and Seth Hulquist, CSC campus visit coordinator, says the merging of the Eagle Open House and the new Health Professions Showcase made sense.
Hulquist says this is the fifth year for the Open House program, which brings in students once in the fall and once in the springs. Attendance has been modest, but not this time.

Mack says the Health Professions Showcase has been changed just a bit with the merger with the Open House, with a greater emphasis on what Chadron State has to offer those interested in a career in a health profession than on the range of careers possible.

There was a deadline of yesterday for interested students to register to take part in Monday’s visits, but Hulquist says that was more to help plan logistics than anything else with late registrations still accepts…although those wanting to come for the Health Professions Showcase might be out of luck.
