Welcome!
We know that getting to know the people of Knox—current students, professors, coaches, and members of the staff—can be very important as you make your final college decision. That's why we invite you (and your parents) to participate in the Admitted Student Experience—live and virtual events where you can interact with us, get to know us, and envision yourself as a member of Knox's human-powered community.
We'll be adding events in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back often!

Visit Campus
Now that you've been admitted to Knox, we invite you to experience life as a Knox student during one of our Admitted Student Days on February 21 and April 15. Observe classes, meet with professors and coaches, eat with students in the cafeteria. This is an opportunity to meet your class and experience Knox!
