Virtual Open House Week, a new and exclusive week-long event for prospective students, was held from Sunday, October 11, 2020 thru Friday, October 16, 2020.
Since we could not host our traditional weekend on-campus Open House, we created a whole new way for prospective students to interact with Santa Clara with over 30 live interactive Zoom sessions hosted throughout the week!
Explore this website to take advantage of all that Virtual Open House Week had to offer, whether you attended and want to keep learning more or you’re seeing all of this for the first time!
