TOUR Ambassadors conduct prospective student visit program components including campus and housing tours, virtual campus tours, student panels, group visits, represent OSU during recruiting events and large visit programs, and work weekly office hours at the Welcome Center. All visit programs are conducted both in-person and virtually. Student employees can expect to work a range of hours (between 4-20 hours per week) that is flexible with and supports their academic priorities. There are additional opportunities for ambassadors to attend off-campus recruitment events and multicultural recruitment events as interested.
Successful candidates enjoy working with people, have a wide range of life experiences and an eagerness to promote Oregon State University to prospective students and their family members. Bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply.
