ADM: Summer Intern/Tour Guide (S9956X)
Summary, Scope, and Responsibilities
| The Summer Admission Intern position is a full time, on-campus summer internship. Summer interns work as a tight-knit team, and are an integral component to the Office of Admission during this peak season for prospective students to explore Bates, in-person and virtually. If you are a student who desires to learn more about admission, outreach, access, and recruitment at Bates, this is the ideal opportunity for you!
Interns’ primary responsibility is leading on-campus tours twice a day, thereby providing prospective students and their families with the unique student perspective to academic and extracurricular offerings and opportunities, and campus life broadly. They will also connect with prospective families through in-person and virtual information sessions, social media platforms, student panels, and email correspondence. This position requires enormous flexibility, responsibility, creativity, collaboration and a willingness to work not only on short-term projects, but on longer-term independent projects. We strongly encourage students of all backgrounds, faiths, lived experiences, academic areas, graduation years, and cultures to apply. |
