Hello and welcome to First Look.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
I'm Jennifer, a current WOU student and the campus visitation coordinator. 

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
And I'm Nolan, a WOU graduate and an admissions counselor. 

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000
We're here to share with you some important information and tips on your first look to Western Oregon University. 

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Let's start with logistics. How do you get to Western?

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Once you get here Nolan, where do you go?

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.000
That's easy, Jen. Let me tell you how. 

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Directions to WOU and a campus map are online. 

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.000
Just go to wou.edu and click map at the bottom of the homepage. 

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Western is located in Monmouth, Oregon

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
which is on Highway 99W and just 20 minutes from our state capitol. 

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.000
During the week, campus tours depart three times a day from the admissions office. 

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.000
Admissions is in the Academic Programs and Support Center on the corner of Monmouth Ave. and Jackson St.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:60.000
You can park here in Lot D on Jackson St.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Make sure to look for these spots reserved for future WOU students. 

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000
And don't worry if they're taken. There are more than a dozen lots throughout campus. 

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Free guest parking passes are available from every department. 

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Simply ask for a pass when you check in at the admissions office. 

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.000
On Saturdays scheduled tours will depart from the information desk inside here, the Werner University Center. 

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000
Saturday tours begin at 11 AM. 

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.000
A limited number of Saturday tours are offered during fall, winter, and spring terms. 

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Be sure to check online for Saturday tour dates. 

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.000
You may also be able to attend an optional admissions presentation. 

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.000
The closest parking for a Saturday tour is Lot H directly behind Werner. 

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000
And there's good news. A guest parking pass is not required on the weekends. 

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
If you arrive early, why not shop the latest WOU gear at the Wolfstore? 

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Or enjoy a beverage at Cafe Allegro. 

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.000
Both are located in the Werner University Center. 

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
We're so excited you're planning to visit Western Oregon University. 

00:01:59.000 --> 00:01:63.000
If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. Together we succeed. 

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000
