Tour Guides

For many visitors, their campus tour is often the only individual student contact they experience. Campus tours provide a valuable “inside look” at the College.

Job Responsibilities:

A campus tour serves three purposes. The first is simple: to show people what facilities are available to students. The second is less obvious but even more important: to help students get to know the kind of people they’ll meet on the Lewis & Clark campus. And the third is to discover if the College is a good “fit” for them. 

The first purpose will take care of itself as the tour goes on (as long as you follow the route).  The second and third purposes are up to you. The most interesting way for students to learn about L&C is through personal anecdotes from their friendly tour guide!

Every tour guide is scheduled for at least two tours a week: one primary tour time and one secondary tour time. If you cannot give your weekly tours, it is your responsibility to find a replacement guide. If you cannot find a replacement, you must notify the Admissions Fellows 24 hours in advance of your tour time.

All campus tours depart from the Frank Manor House and are one-hour long. Please show up at least 10 minutes before your tour time.

Compensation for tour guides is $12.00 per tour.

Work-Study is mandatory.

Selection is based on demonstrated interest, schedule availability, tour guide team balance, knowledge of the College, and verified good academic standing. Preference may be given to students who have been tour guides in the past.

Applications for Spring 2018 are due on December 5 at 5pm in the Frank Manor House. A 15 minute interview will be required for all new ambassadors and ambassadors applying for new roles.  A signup sheet is available in the Fellows Suite in the Manor House.
