April 2025 Recruitment Update

Apr 8, 2025, 09:16 AM

Takeover Day season is here! This exciting transition happening for high school seniors starts Friday, April 11 at the Nassau Center. If you’re unfamiliar with Takeover Day, it allows our incoming service-district high school graduates to spend a day at the College, learning, exploring and doing more of what we offer – in and out of the classroom.

Takeover Day activities include a scavenger hunt, mock classes and Student Life and Leadership fun, all supported by the Student Recruitment Office and other College faculty and staff. The program is about finishing the remaining enrollment steps and boosting students' enthusiasm for joining Manta Ray Nation. Additional Takeover Days will take place Friday, April 25 at South Campus and Friday, May 2 at North Campus. 

Upcoming April events:
4/11: Nassau Center Takeover Day
4/12: Children's Home Society Career Fair
4/15: City of Jacksonville Education Fair

4/25: South Campus Takeover Day
