About 100 students, faculty and staff headed down the QEW on Friday Sept. 19 to promote Brock at the 2014 Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF).

Canada’s largest student and educational fair, OUF is a critical recruitment event that attracts more than 120,000 people over three days at the Toronto Convention Centre.

Thousands of high school students and their families will visit the Brock booth, to be engaged by our ambassadors providing insights, discussing course offerings and generally pointing out all of the reasons why many people choose Brock.

“OUF provides us with an opportunity to gain attention in a market that is important to us,” said Beth Natale, Brock’s Director of Recruitment. “In January 2014, almost 54 per cent of Brock’s first-year applicant pool came from the GTA, and about 43 per cent of our first-year confirmations for this fall came from the GTA.

“OUF helps make Brock more recognizable to people across the province, lets us introduce ourselves and make a strong first impression.”
