Lectures halls overflowed as academics gave BCom information and discipline specific information sessions. Passionate and friendly staff from the various departments sought to answer a wide variety of queries from banking to scholarships to the student experience.? Staff from the Commerce Student Centre tirelessly answered questions about? the BCom while on level one the GSBE crew were keep continuously busy as students sought answers on graduate and executive education.

In total 60,000 people visited the University on Open Day and the welcoming atmosphere was also striking on the main campus. The sound stage on South Lawn proved popular as student musicians from the Faculty of the VCA and MCM entertained guests.

An innovative feature of this year?s Open Day was the use of an online planner to help visitors extract the most from their Open Day experience. Before the event, prospective visitors drafted a personal itinerary on the Open Day 2012 website. Thousands of personal itineraries were created in this way, with tens of thousands of individual information sessions added by visitors.

While Open Day is over for this year its impact around the Faculty is still evident as staff reminisce on a re invigorating day in the academic calendar when we loudly and warmly welcome those interested in further study at this remarkable University.
