Admissions Tour Guide Program

The mission of the Admissions Tour Guide program is to promote Penn College to prospective and current students and their families, supporters, guests, alumni, business partners, and friends of the College. Admissions Tour Guides, selected for their demonstration of leadership, campus involvement, academic achievement, and Penn College pride, strive to convey the value of a life-long relationship between the College and all of our stakeholders on campus, in the Williamsport community, and across the Commonwealth, country, and globe.

I'm interested in becoming an Admissions Tour Guide

Admissions Tour Guides act as liaisons between the College and prospective students, current students, guests, alumni, business partners, and friends of the College by engaging in activities that:

• Communicate the mission and culture of the College;
• Strengthen our traditions;
• Promote Penn College Pride; and
• Encourage lifelong involvement with the College.

Main responsibilities of the position include: 

• Conducting tours for guests of the College for General Campus Tours and Personal Tours
• Provide support and coverage during College events, such as Open House and Accepted Student Day
• Connect with prospective students through call campaigns, postcards, etc.
• Assist staff with daily tasks, such as preparing giveaways, answering calls, etc.
• Serve as a role model for incoming first-year students and peers

To be eligible, interested students must be enrolled full-time, have successfully completed at least 12 credits at Penn College, and hold a minimum 2.5 GPA.

Interested students must apply through People & Culture when positions are posted. Admissions Tour Guides for the next academic year are hired during the spring semester. After completion, interested candidates will schedule in-person interviews with the Admissions Tour Guide Coordinator. Candidates will be ranked and selected until all openings are filled. 

Admissions Tour Guides who are successful throughout the academic year will participate in an annual evaluation process. Selection of returning students will always be completed prior to selection of new students.
