We have several upcoming receptions for accepted students and high school juniors coming up over the next few weeks. These are a chance to get those final questions answered if you’ve already been admitted, and it’s easier since we are coming to you. If you’re a junior in high school, this is a great opportunity to learn more about Stevenson before visiting campus. I hope you can join us!

Yesterday we held our “February” Open House after rescheduling it twice due to the snow storms. It was a great day and we had a record number of visitors here at SU. The challenge of the day was due to a water main break in Owings Mills which left our campus without water all day. So, we moved lunch and the academic presentations back over to the Greenspring campus. I can’t thank the Stevenson staff, faculty, and students enough for helping to make this a memorable day for our guests…it really was a team effort from all corners of both campuses!
And, with over 900 guests in attendance, I appreciated the patience and understanding they had as we rolled out a new agenda during the day, worked with spaces and rooms we don’t typically use (by the way…have you ever seen so many people in the theatre as there were in the “yellow” group yesterday…wow!!!), and still gave tours at OM without running water. All in all, it was a successful day and I hope our guests left with a positive impression of Stevenson.
Well…have you??? If not, git er done!! We’ll be sending out our first financial aid packages within the next two weeks, so make sure we have your FAFSA info.

Just a quick reminder that March 1st is Stevenson’s priority application deadline. Make sure you submit your application on time in order to have the best chances for admission and financial aid. Also, please remember that the state of Maryland has a March 1st FAFSA submission deadline as well. Generally, it takes us 2-3 weeks to review your application once it has been completed. So, the sooner we receive everything, the sooner you’ll hear back from us regarding a decision. Which also means the sooner we can work on preparing a financial aid package, too.
If you have questions, call the Admissions Office at 410-486-7001.
I confess I am a Winter Olympics junkie. Growing up in a sports family, my mother always got us going each time the summer or winter games came around. So, last evening as I was watching the women’s bobsled competition, I was pleasantly surprised when they announced the name of the brakeman for the USA-2 team: Elana Meyers. I said to myself, “I know an Elana Meyers…she played softball at GW.” Sure enough, the commentator went on to mention that she was a star softball player at GW and had hoped to make the Olympics someday in that sport. Anyway, I do remember her application for admission while I was working at GW back in 2003. At the time I served as the admissions-athletic liaison and worked closely with all of the coaches and recruited athletes. She was heavily recruited as a pitcher by the softball coach (she’s originally from Georgia) , and when she enrolled she became a standout player.
After 2 runs last night, Elana and her driver Erin Pac sit in 2nd place overall. Hopefully they can pull out 2 more great runs later today and earn a medal for the USA!
P.S. since I first posted this, they won the Bronze medal! Congrats and go USA!

Third time is a charm, right?! Our February Open House (originally) on the 6th will now be a March Open House…also on the 6th! Please be sure to register online for this Open House, even if you registered for the previous one. Click here to register!
Prospective students who attend the March 6, 2010 Open House will be entered into a drawing to win a suite in our new residence halls for one semester valued at $3,300.
I was really being hopeful about the 13th, wasn’t I? Sure, the snowstorms will be over by then…but the clean up will be on-going. If you are a high school student in the Baltimore-Washington metro area, I hope you are enjoying this nice winter break. As I write this we have gotten about another 10″ of snow and the wind chill is about -1. Maybe we should change our name to “Siberia University”! Just kidding.
Yes, the snow date for our Open House has been snowed out. Crazy, right?!?! So, with the Feb. 13th Open House officially “on ice” we will be looking for a date later this spring to reschedule it. Stay tuned to email and the web for more information. Stay warm!
P.S. I’m tired of blogging about snow. I promise different topics are on the way.
As you may know, the University is closed today due to the snow dig-out. Now that we are recovering from about 30″ of snow, there is more on the way for tomorrow (Feb. 9th). So, we are canceling the overnight visits for tomorrow. Stay tuned to the homepage to see the status of the University each day.
The Open House is still on for Saturday, Feb. 13th, and the weather looks favorable. I hope to see many prospective students and their families here at Stevenson that day.
Yes, I am a weather junkie in my spare time. So, the fact that we are about to have our third 5″+ snowfall in a week is pretty cool. What is not cool, however, is that we had to cancel the Open House here at SU on Saturday, Feb. 6th. Our snow date will be next Saturday, Feb. 13th. If you were planning on attending, I hope we’ll see you at Stevenson next weekend. Also, the University is going to be closed all weekend…Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. See you next week!
Happy Groundhog Day! Yes, Phil saw his shadow today. And, yes, the forecast for tonight is for more snow (3-6″) here at Stevenson. Since the meteorologists blew the forecast this past weekend, I’m placing my money on the quadruped from now on. Six more weeks of winter…I’m with you, Phil!
