On April 4, 2008, the Hampton University Office of Admissions invites you to experience Hampton University for a day! Our High School Day event will give you a preview of what we have to offer academically and culturally by having representatives from various areas on-hand to answer your questions and provide you with information and materials to ease your admission and transition. Just a few of the areas that will be on hand are:
Hampton University, a dynamic, progressive institution of higher education, is a non-profit, non-sectarian, co-educational, historically black university. It is located in southeastern Virginia and boasts one of the loveliest campuses in the nation with a picturesque waterfront and historic buildings and landmarks.
