Alumni Interviews
Want to learn about Lafayette from the perspective of after-graduation trajectories? Interview with an alum. Our alumni volunteer their time to interview prospective students so we do require students to submit an application to Lafayette before requesting an alumni interview. Also note that this is a request, and there is no guarantee you will receive an interview with an alum. Sign up today to request an interview.


Leopard for a Day
Use the calendar to select the day you are interested in visiting.
See firsthand what it's like to be a Lafayette student. You'll have the opportunity to attend class with current students. We attempt to match you with a class in your area of academic interest but this experience is meant to give you a flavor of the hands-on, interactive experience of a Lafayette class, so no worries if it's not an exact match. You'll also head to lunch in the dining hall with a current student. You must sign up two weeks ahead of time so we have time to contact professors and build your schedule.
