NORWICH – Students and staff at the Norwich campus of Morrisville State College on Conkey Avenue hosted the college’s annual open house gala Thursday.

The locally-catered event featured a banquet from Park Place Restaurant and Lounge, beverages from the Serendipity Cafe, the talent of local musicians Brian Golden and Michael O’Connor, and the chance for prospective students to network with college administrators, faculty and course professors.

Varying programs of study at the college were also on display to promote what the university had to offer and what each program entailed. Exhibits included nursing, the Liberty Partnership, human services, and early childhood – some of the institution’s most sought-after programs, according to Norwich Campus Dean Marsha Cornelius.
