Admission - Tour Guide

In 2019, the Office of Admission welcomed over 13,000 visitors to campus for tours, group visits, info sessions and interviews! We were virtual in 2020, but began welcoming visitors back to campus in June 2021!

Tour guides are often the first, and sometimes the only, interaction a family will have with a Wesleyan representative while here. Are you up for the challenge?

The Tour Guide position is an opportunity for students of all majors to support the recruitment efforts of the Office of Admission. We seek 12-15 new guides who are mature, dependable, energetic, articulate, positive, outgoing and eager to share their Wesleyan experience.
In addition to giving in-person and/or virtual tours of Wesleyan University each week, you will be expected to:
·   Attend new Tour Guide training (likely 1 day in the Spring and 1-2 days in the Fall)
·   Act in a professional and respectful manner while in the office and on tour
·   Dress appropriately while on tour
·   Attend tour guide staff meetings once per month
·   Participate in Admission office events (Open House, WesFest etc…)

The position is open to students in the class of 2024 and 2025 who are in good standing with the University. Compensation will be based on campus workstudy pay rates, although you do not need to be eligible for workstudy to apply.
