The
student tour guide
application
is open. Please share this opportunity with students whom you feel
would be excellent
representatives of the University and your department. There is more
than one successful guide “type”. Some prospective students and visitors
connect with cheerful, effusive guides; others prefer polite, friendly,
yet more reserved ambassadors. Admissions
is keenly interested in students who come from diverse backgrounds.
Fluency in more than one language is desired, not required.
The
position pays $13/hour and is open to all undergraduate students. Tour
guides usually work two
to four hours per week, except during the spring rush in March and
April, where they can work upwards of 19.5 hours per week. Full-time
employment—40 hours—is available during the summer and breaks. If
students want more hours throughout the academic year,
there are opportunities to serve on the Admissions Front Desk team.
