Our annual Graduate Open House is coming up on Saturday, March 28, and the Office of Graduate Admission is in a flurry as we gear up to welcome prospective students to our city campus. Our open houses are a source of great pride for us, as they give us a chance to share what we love about Emerson with students who may soon be joining the community. For students who are teetering on the brink of a decision, but have not yet settled on which school to attend, the open house will be a great opportunity to figure out whether a school is a good fit for you. For students who are just starting their research, open houses provide an opportunity to see what is out there and whether graduate school is the right place for you.

Emerson's Open House gives graduate school hopefuls a chance to experience Emerson first hand. Information sessions on financial assistance and the admission process, as well as program-specific seminars on academics are offered. Prospective students get a chance to speak with faculty in person and get more detailed information on graduate program curricula. Campus tours are also offered and are especially helpful in establishing a comfort level with Emerson and its surroundings for students who will be joining us in the Fall.

Vox Lumiere's The Hunchback of Notre Dame is playing at Emerson's Cutler Majestic Theatre on Saturday March 28 at 8:00pm, the night of our Graduate Open House. The LA Times called this production "...absolutely riveting..." and I'd like to offer you the chance to win two free tickets to see the show.

After touring the campus and seeing all of our cutting-edge facilities, you could end the day by sitting in our historic Beaux-Arts style opera house that was built in 1903. This is fitting, for Emerson is a place where things that seem to be opposites exist side-by-side and complement one another. Every day, individual inspiration meets collaboration and teamwork in our classrooms. Art and science come together. A small community thrives in the middle of a big city.

In 50 words or less, tell us your own example of two things that seem to be opposites, but perfectly complement one another. Submit your thoughts as a comment to this post. The first five people who submit will each win two free tickets to The Hunchback of Notre Dame (a $110 value!). We'll save two more tickets for the most creative post, and will select that winner on Friday, March 20.

I can't wait to read your posts, and I look forward to seeing you at Open House!
