Tours are offered up to three times per day, Monday through Friday, with occasional events on Saturdays and in the evenings. There are also opportunities for virtual programming, including virtual tours, information sessions, and student panels. Positions are for the academic year. Prior experience as a Tour Guide or Ambassador is not required. Work-study eligibility is preferred but not required. |
