Temple College Hosts Leopard Preview Day for High School Seniors, Juniors Feb. 21

Leopard Preview Day registration is now open

Temple College is inviting current high school seniors and juniors to its annual Leopard Preview Day from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21 on the Temple campus.

During Leopard Preview Day, students will meet with Temple College staff and faculty and learn about degree and certificate programs in health care, fine arts, engineering technology, science, math, liberal arts, public service, business, workforce and more. It’s also a time for students to ask questions and learn about student life, financial aid, scholarships, transfer opportunities and careers.

Lunch is provided.

“Leopard Preview Day gives students the opportunity to visit campus, meet with Temple College staff and learn all the next steps they can take to reach their education and career goals,” said Eric Eckert, Temple College’s executive director of strategic communications and outreach. “We’ll take time to showcase the many academic and workforce programs we offer, and we will do our best to answer every question.”

Temple College continues to grow. The College, which now offers more than 80 associate degree, certificate and workforce programs across four campuses, has increased enrollment by more than 22 percent over the past three years.

In fall 2024, the Temple College Foundation awarded 423 scholarships totaling more than $372,000. This year, the Temple campus will open two state-of-the art facilities – a new main building and the visual arts and workforce building. A new health sciences building is also under construction.

“It’s an exciting time to be a Temple College Leopard,” Eckert said. “Temple College provides great and affordable opportunities for students who are looking to enter the workforce quickly or students who plan to earn an associate degree and then transfer to a four-year university.”

Registration is now open for Leopard Preview Day. Students may sign up at www.templecollege.edu/preview.
