Connect with Prospective Students

as Overnight Hosts!

The Admissions visit program is an important part of a prospective student’s college admissions process. In particular, an overnight stay is a great way for a student to get a “feel” for Lewis & Clark College. Overnight hosting is also an excellent opportunity for current students to begin involvement in Admissions. It does not require extensive experience with Admissions, just a welcoming attitude and a sincere desire to represent Lewis & Clark. First year students are encouraged to apply!

Job responsibilities:

• Attendance at a mandatory training meeting, held at the beginning of the semester and as needed throughout the semester. 

• Familiarization with facts and procedures included in training materials.

• Every Overnight Host is scheduled to host at least once a week. As a host, you must be able to accommodate two prospective students each time you host.
• Hosting requires availability to pick up student(s) at a designated time – usually 4:45 p.m. at the Manor House.
• You must take the visiting student(s) to dinner (or arrange for a friend to do so) and allow the student(s) to sleep on your residence hall room floor. Each host is not expected to entertain his/her student(s) at all times, but is expected to be hospitable and to give his/her guest(s) a chance to meet people and join campus activities.

Compensation will be $16.00 per student hosted and the paychecks are granted monthly. Timecards are kept online on WebAdvisor (procedure will be covered after selection is made). Work-study is not required.

Selection is based on demonstrated interest, schedule availability, overnight host team balance, and verified academic good standing. Positions will be offered to individuals, rather than rooms. If two roommates are both offered a position, they will each be required to fulfill their hosting obligations separately.

Applications for the Spring 2012 semester are to be turned into the Frank Manor House at the front desk by December 1st.
