Of the accepted students, 169 visited from out of state.<\/p>\n<p>On hand to welcome students were hundreds of faculty, staff, student ambassadors and volunteers, helping out with information sessions, tours, a student services fair and a \u201cmajors expo\u201d designed to help students think about what they might want to major in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccepted Student Day was an interactive and, most of all, fun opportunity to learn more about my major, the campus, and everything Montclair has to offer,\u201d said Eva C. of Bergen County. \u201cI can&#8217;t wait to start my fall semester at such a great university!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Video: Accepted Student Day at Montclair State University\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kwkf7N6npzk?feature=oembed\"

course, Rocky the Red Hawk, who welcomed them with outstretched wings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur reputation for student success and making it easier for students to apply to Montclair have resulted in a record number of applications,\u201d says Jordanna Maziarz, Director of Undergraduate Admissions. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming many of them back in the fall as students!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Photo
