Newsroom / MC offering Twilight Tours this summer

MC offering Twilight Tours this summer

June 12, 2019 

This summer, Maryville College is offering another convenient way for prospective students to visit campus and see why MC is considered one of the South’s best colleges for student-centered, whole-person undergraduate education.

Through August, the Office of Admissions is offering Twilight Tours every Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Tours, which are conducted by current students, include a meeting with an admissions counselor who can answer any college search or financial aid questions.

“Our Twilight Tours were so popular last year that we decided to offer them again this summer,” said Alayne Bowman, vice president for admissions and financial aid at Maryville College. “Evening tours are convenient for families who might not be able to be here during the work day, and the cooler evening temperatures are ideal for the walking tour.”

Applications are still being accepted for the fall 2019 semester for first-year students and transfer students. Morning campus tours also are offered Monday through Friday this summer. To schedule a tour, please email [email protected] or call 865.981.8092.
