August 27, 2026 at 6:00:00 PM
FHSU Health & Behavioral Science Day!
FHSU will be hosting a fall College of Health and Behavioral Sciences Day at Fort Hays State University, Friday, October 9, 2026. This all-day free event is open to high school students who are currently juniors and seniors in the 2026-2027 school year.
Students will:
- Visit all six departments in the College of Health and Behavioral Sciences (Allied Health, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Health and Human Performance, Nursing, Psychology, and Social Work). If you are not interested in these fields of study, then this particular event is not one you would want to sign up for.
- Learn about academic, career, and other unique educational opportunities within these departments.
- Tour academic facilities, including clinical and simulation labs within these departments.
- Engage with faculty, staff, and students in each of the six departments.
Transportation is not provided by BHS. If you choose to attend, you will be responsible for lining up your own transportation. This would count as a college visit, so you would need to fill out a college visit permission slip and turn it in to me as well.
For more information and if you would like to sign up for this event, click on the link here: https://www.fhsu.edu/admissions/events/health-and-behavioral-science-day.
If you register: Once your registration has processed, a confirmation will be emailed with additional information.
Registration will close Monday, October 5th, or earlier if their reach their capacity.
