LIVE A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VILLANOVAN

As a Catholic Augustinian institution, Villanova University celebrates diversity as an essential component of the teaching and learning experience as well as the ongoing intellectual, social, and spiritual development of every member of the Villanova community. Founded as an institution to educate the children of Irish immigrants, it is in our heritage to uplift the voices of those who have been historically excluded from higher education. 

Nova Up Close provides an opportunity for high school seniors to participate in a unique overnight visit to explore the experiences of students of color at Villanova University. This two day, on-campus event will take place October 19-20, 2023. Attendees will be paired with a current Villanovan, attend class, experience residence and dining halls, engage in dialogue surrounding identity work and much more.

Villanova University will sponsor the costs of travel and attendance for students from Eastern Pennsylvania, New York City, New Jersey, Delaware and Metropolitan D.C. area for this program.

Interested students should complete the interest form and submit their official high school transcript by September 27, 2023 to gotovu@villanova.edu.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission. 

Your application to and/or participation in the Nova Up Close program has no bearing on your application for admission to Villanova University.
