VIRTUAL OPEN DAY
3RD OF JUNE 2021
4PM-6PM AEST
ONLINE VIA ZOOM
We warmly invite prospective students, organisations, supporters and friends to our Virtual Open Day on 3 June 2021. The Virtual Open Day will involve a brief, rich program where you will meet faculty and past students that are transforming the way we think about happiness, wellbeing and connection. Your questions will be answered and you will learn about the ways you can draw on the wisdom of knowledge and traditions to serve others and effect profound personal change.
This event will provide prospective students with a “taste” of studying at NTI. Information on our major study areas will be provided and students will have the opportunity to ask questions about our courses and the student experience. Our Heads of Program, President and alumni will offer short presentations covering a broad range of topics. Local students will be given the option to attend a temple/campus tour on 5 June 2021 at NTI which is being organised by Ven Juewei and Metta Centre.
