âThe pandemic is changing things in so many ways, but itâs also providing opportunities for us to find new ways, more accessible ways of maintaining long-standing traditions such as Open House at John Abbott,â said John Halpin.
The Director general of the West Island cegep was referring to JACâs successful virtual Open House that was held recently.
âOnline seems to be the ânew lineâ for prospective students at John Abbott College if the number of virtual visits to the Winter Open House held January 27 is any indication,â said Communications & Media Relations Officer Debbie Cribb.
Held on February 3rd, there were â12,000 unique page viewsâ on the cegepâs site, a huge increase over the nearly 9,000 unique visitors at the Fall Open House that was also held on-line due to pandemic hygienic standards. In pre-Covid times, the Fall Open house was usually the highest attended event for potential students.
