Scheduled tours of the Notre Dame, Exchange District and Stevenson campuses also took place throughout the duration of the event, with complimentary shuttle services transporting students from campus to campus.
“We’re again offering specialized tours — to better suit students’ individual needs,” says Clint Thiessen, a student recruitment officer at RRC. “Students can choose from 13 different tours that focus on such areas as Health Sciences, Trades Technology, and our culinary and hospitality programs’ new Paterson GlobalFoods Institute, to name a few.”
