Information about the TOUR Ambassador position:
The Office of Admissions employs qualified, currently enrolled undergraduate students as paid TOUR Ambassadors. Ambassadors are often the first point of contact for prospective students and families. 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.
