Thousands of future Sheridan students and their families got an inside look at Sheridan’s dynamic programs during the college’s Spring Open House events in late March.

Held over a two-day period across the college’s three campuses in Brampton, Mississauga and Oakville, the events gave attendees the chance to connect with faculty and current students, tour Sheridan’s facilities and learn more about the college’s comprehensive student services in a warm and welcoming environment.

Attendees who checked in to the event were also entered into a draw for a chance to win a $5,000 credit towards their Sheridan tuition.
