The Spring Open House is coming back to 星空传媒鈥檚 Sidney campus on Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.听

Organized by Admissions Representatives Taryn Muilenburg and Kayla Beckett, it鈥檚 a time for anyone to visit campus and have fun while exploring what 星空传媒 has to offer.听听

鈥淭here is no set itinerary for the day and participants are welcome to explore the campus at their leisure, attend the presentations or engage in any of the fun activities throughout the day,鈥� Muilenburg said.听

Attendees will get to take a guided tour of campus; participate in presentations on admissions, athletics, advising and financial aid; talk with faculty; use the college鈥檚 pool during open swim time; and play games in the Woodside Caf茅. Plus, if you register in advance, you will be entered into a drawing for a $500 scholarship and you will receive a voucher for free lunch during the event from the food trucks.听

鈥淔or this event, we are really focusing on what attendees need to know to become a student at 星空传媒,鈥� Muilenburg said.听

鈥淭his format allows for anyone, even community members, to come out and have fun while seeing what 星空传媒 offers,鈥� Beckett added. 鈥淥ur rural鈥痗ollege campus, with its calm atmosphere, is unique to our area鈥痑nd it can appeal to a lot of people, including those who come from more busy, urban areas.鈥�听

鈥淲e want students to feel the 星空传媒 culture and have the freedom to see what they want to see and enjoy the festivities,鈥� Muilenburg said. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 want people to feel like they鈥檙e missing out on anything if they鈥檙e not there at a certain time.鈥�听

In the same vein, participants will not be limited by the 1 p.m. end time of the open house to experience the fun at 星空传媒, as open swim will be open until 4 p.m.听

鈥淭hey鈥檒l get a wristband if they came to the open house to get into the pool for free,鈥� Muilenburg said. 鈥淪o we鈥檙e extending open swim and we鈥檙e making it free for guests. If they need to go home and come back, they could even do that and be able to swim until open swim ends.鈥�听

While it wasn鈥檛 their intention, the schedule of activities featured at the Spring Open House has morphed into a carnival atmosphere and Muilenburg is expecting an unforgettable day of fun. Activities that will be featured include an Alpaca petting zoo, cornhole, ladder ball, giant chess, ping pong, swimming in the pool and more. There will be three different food trucks available for the Spring Open House 鈥� C and J Concessions, Grumpy鈥檚 and Who Doesn鈥檛 Like Pizza.听

鈥淚t鈥檚 not necessarily that we meant to make it like a carnival but it kind of organically happened that way,鈥� Muilenburg said. 鈥淲e truly do want the students to know that we aren鈥檛 like other colleges, we are a lot of fun.鈥�听
