Position Summary

The Coordinator for Campus Tours serves as a member of the Student Orientation Programs team.

This position has a significant impact on the achievement of the university's recruitment goals because of its focus on a multi-faceted visit strategy, including the expansion of in-person, on-campus visits to meet the demands of the university and prospective students.

The Coordinator collaborates with campus partners and community stakeholders to ensure the messages, facts, and information about university programs and services are accurate and that the university's stories are shared effectively during the campus visit. Additionally, the coordinator is essential to the ongoing successful recruitment, selection, training, and supervision of the Ambassadors, who will staff the on- and off-campus programs and events coordinated by the successful candidate.

Like all full-time staff on the campus visits team, the Coordinator independently develops and implements programs, events, and training initiatives to meet the University's recruitment goals. The position requires a significant amount of professional judgment and will have a great deal of autonomy regarding work planning; selection and training of student staff and volunteer mentors; presenting the university to tens of thousands of prospective students and community constituents, families, and campus organizations; and application of university student employment policies.

The Coordinator will directly supervise 30-40 Ambassadors, as well as some supervision of the daily operation of visits for all 55+ student Ambassadors. Secondary responsibilities include additional travel on behalf of the university and other duties as assigned.
