Last summer we set our sights on evolving our Discover Sheridan event to include a broader audience and a format change. Through your support, we were able to grant unprecedented access to potential learning spaces to thousands of future students and their families on Saturday, April 11th. Total record attendance included 1000 visitors at Davis; 1500 guests spread wonderfully across the Trafalgar Road Campus; 274 visitors at HMC’s more intimate campus, and 200 guests at the Skills Training Centre, which was very well received by guests.
Our visitor comments indicate a resounding appreciation of your time and valuable contribution towards future students’ decision making:

We understand that piloting a new-hybrid event as complex and large scale as a four-campus Open House takes great coordination, collaboration and input from so many within the Sheridan community. In this pivotal year, we welcome your feedback on this event. Please continue to monitor your email for campus-specific staff survey information.
