As the New Year is still very young, March break may be the last thing on anyone’s mind … except for numerous students at the University of Guelph.
Students have already started preparations for the biggest campus-wide event of the year, College Royal.
On the weekend of March 18 and 19, current students, prospective students, the community and alumni are invited to the University of Guelph for the annual College Royal Open House.
College Royal is the largest student-run university open house event of its kind in North America and has been an annual tradition for 89 years at the University of Guelph.
Each March, the University of Guelph is opened to the general public in a campus-wide open house that attracts over 30,000 visitors.
The 2016-17 College Royal president Vanessa Crowley is very excited for this year’s event, and says that the theme of “Royal Night in Guelph” will make this year’s College Royal bigger than ever.
“‘Royal Night in Guelph’ with over 50 College Royal executive members have already begun planning and preparing for the 12 Days of College Royal; I am so honoured to be leading such an outstanding team,” Crowley said.
“The 2017 open house will be held March 18 and 19 and is already looking like it will be the best one yet.
Historical events such as the livestock show and dog show will be occurring as well as a couple new and exciting events”
College Royal provides a free family friendly, fun filled event.
