During the months of September, October and November, the President of Cheverus, Father William Campbell, S.J. will visit local Cheverus families in their homes and be available for questions in an informal setting.
Father Campbell will speak about the value of a Jesuit education. These coffee and dessert meetings are open to the public.

To schedule a shadow day for their child, parents must call the Cheverus Admissions Office
774-6238 ext. 36 and speak with the Director of Admissions, Mr. Jack Dawson, to schedule a shadow day for their child. Visiting students “shadow” a student ambassador and will have the opportunity to meet faculty, other Cheverus students and program directors.

Cheverus has a rack of blazers from which a visiting student can 'borrow' from for their shadow day.
