Red River College invites you to Open House 2012. Our goal is to help future students gather the information and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their future. By opening our doors and letting the community meet our students and staff we want visitors to come away with a sense of awareness and confidence about their choices for the future.

Why come to Open House?

Surveys completed by post-secondary students across North America indicate a campus visit is one of the most important factors in their decision-making process. A first-hand look can help you determine your ‘fit’ within the campus and academic programs.
