We ask that each Student Ambassador lead at least one 90 minute tour each week, two Saturday tours per semester, as well as various “special visits!” As an organization, we do hold meetings for training and development, which are also required. The average Student Ambassador commits two to four hours per week to the organization.

Yes, upperclassmen can apply to be an ambassador. Ideally, you would have four on campus semesters to serve as a Student Ambassador (one semester of training and three full semesters of work.) Note that a semester of study abroad would not count as an on-campus semester in this instance. However, we are willing to work with students at any point in their college career to become an ambassador.
