WINONA LAKE — Grace College and Seminary has partnered with YouVisit, LLC to build a complete virtual walking tour of the college, giving prospective students, their families, alumni, and the community unlimited access to Grace’s scenic campus.

High school students, as well as their families and counselors can now explore Grace College’s campus at their convenience via the Grace website. As an additional option to a live campus visit, the tour also allows visitors to take further action to inquire or apply for admission. The virtual tour is part of a continued effort to move forward as Grace continues to innovate with new methods and programs.

Among them are Grace’s three-year accelerated degree program and its new Measure of Grace initiative. The latter offers a tuition decrease to main campus, traditional, undergraduate students for each consecutive year of enrollment at Grace and free textbook rentals for those students as well.

“We are pleased to be able to partner with YouVisit in order to provide yet another option for students and families to explore all that Grace has to offer,” said Cindy Sisson, vice president of enrollment management at Grace. “Grace offers a high quality, affordable, faith-based education on a beautiful campus. We understand that a personal visit isn’t always possible or practical. The virtual tour provides a way to explore what Grace offers to those who otherwise might not have such an opportunity.”

YouVisit equips colleges and universities across the country with virtual tours on three key platforms: Facebook, Mobile (Android, iPhone, and iPad), and college and university websites. The tour includes 35 videos, 30 different 360 degree views, 179 photos, and 18 unique campus and community tour stops.
