2020 Fall Open House: Open October @Olin (O3)

Friday, October 2 - Thursday October, 15, 2020

Thank you to everyone who attended Open October @Olin, we hope you enjoyed learning all about Olin!

Our annual Fall Open House went virtual in 2020 as we presented "Open October @Olin", two weeks of programming dedicated to discovering Olin. We provided a variety of panels and activities that hopefully made you feel like you were actually on Olin's campus! While we weren't able to pipe in the smell of fall leaves and cider donuts to your living room, we hope you were able to get a feel of what being an Olin student is really like. 

Panel sessions were recorded, and are viewable by clicking on the "watch recording" links in each description. Please don't hesitate to email us at info@olin.edu if you have any further questions!
