Next Steps Spring Open House
Saturday, March 14, 2026 – 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
What can I do at the Next Steps Spring Open House?
Explore our beautiful campus at your own pace – the first Canadian College or University to receive the EnergyStar certification. Train in state-of-the-art healthcare, science, and technology labs. We’re also just steps away from the Ottawa River, where nature becomes your classroom.
Hear from current students about their AC Pembroke experience and ask them all the questions you might have.
Meet with industry-expert program coordinators and faculty from your program of interest. Take part in experiential activities that give you a sense of what learning will actually be like.
Meet with our Housing Coordinator and Residence Partners. They will be on site during the event and can arrange off-site residence tours after open house is complete.
Enjoy a free pizza lunch!
And more! We’ve got a great day planned and can’t wait to welcome you!
