Find Your Place. Experience Memorial.

There is no better way to discover if Memorial University is right for you than by experiencing it firsthand.

This fall, we're opening our doors across three of our teaching campuses allowing you to discover the St. John's Campus, Marine Institute, or Grenfell Campus.

Join us for an evening of exploration, conversation, and discovery. Meet the people who'll support your new journey, experience student life firsthand, and picture what your future at Memorial could look like.

Prospective students and supporters are invited to experience Memorial firsthand. Start your evening with a complimentary meal in residence, then stay to discover what your future at Memorial could look like.
