P&G DAYS

Experience Purple & Gold Days at Olivet!

On Friday, November 21, stay overnight and experience what it’s like to live on campus.

Designed for high school seniors and transfer students accompanied by their parents, P&G Days at Olivet are the perfect way to learn more about the university by taking a campus tour, meeting with faculty, connecting with your Admissions Counselor and more!

On Saturday, November 22, the Olivet School of Music will host Music Scholarship Auditions for prospective students interested in receiving a music scholarship. If you are interested in auditioning, please select your audition time here.

Additionally, our Honors Program will host Olivet Honors Day 2025 on Saturday, November 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This event is a day-long conference featuring the research projects of the graduating honors cohort from ONU. Come see the culmination of our honors seniors’ capstone scholarly projects, the result of two years mentored research in their discipline. The day will consist of breakfast and lunch, as well as sessions featuring student research and Q&A. Visiting students will have a chance to meet current Olivet honors students and see examples of the interdisciplinary work coming out of our program.

If you would like to attend, please contact program director, Dr. Stephen Case, via email or call 815-928-5681 to let him know you’ll attend.

We hope you’ll join us; it is going to be a great couple of days on campus! Feel free to contact our office at 815-928–5603 with any questions.
