The Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Welcome Center is a three-story, 24,000 square-foot facility that was completed in Fall 2016. The purpose of the building is to provide a welcoming, friendly first impression of the DeLand Campus to prospective students and their families, as well as resources for current students, and a gathering place for visiting alumni.
The first-floor houses a reception desk, lounge areas, presentation rooms where visitors can learn about Stetson’s academic programs, and interview rooms where admission counselors can meet with prospective students and their families.
The second floor includes the “One Stop” service area, where representatives from Student Financial Planning and the Offices of the Registrar and Bursar assist students in their needs. This floor also houses Career and Professional Development.
The third floor is home to the Recruiting Operations Center, where prospective students receive guidance through the recruitment and admission process.
