About University of Washington Office of Admissions - Campus Visit Program

Student tour guides and Admissions representatives at the University of Washington interact with more than 37,000 campus visitors each year. In addition to daily tours and operating the Welcome Center, staff are called upon to lead separately scheduled tours, speak at events, and assist the Office of Admissions with recruitment and outreach efforts in the surrounding community. There is some administrative work, such as data entry and restocking publications. You are expected to share your University of Washington stories with guests and be familiar with a wide variety of material, including key programs, the freshman application timeline, and more. As a Tour Guide, you will represent the University of Washington and yourself as well as other Tour Guides in a manner that provides a positive reflection of our institutional vision, goals, mission, and efforts.

The position is now live on...

The Deep-Dive Dialogue Series is an opportunity for twelve UW undergraduates of different backgrounds and perspectives to have ongoing (5-session) dialogue about an issue they all care about. Like our one-time dialogues, students will practice the skills necessary to interact constructively across difference; experience personal growth; and hold divergent perspectives before engaging with resolution. The purpose is to work across difference towards a world where there is justice and liberty for all.

Within the extended time-frame, we hope students will:

• learn about one another's lived experiences
• come to understand one another's motivations, concerns, and hopes
• wrestle with challenging questions, points of disagreement, and competing priorities
• map a co-created understanding of the topic and avenues for change

We hope you will apply by the priority deadline of January 1st!

The Deep-Dive...

Do you know any students who are interested in growing their professional skills? Maybe they have struggled academically, professionally, or personally? Or they are just interested in personal growth and living their best life here at UW and beyond?

As students come in to plan for winter quarter registration, remember to recommend EDUC 200 Resilience Skills for College and Beyond.

The class will be particularly helpful for first year and/or transfer students to get started out with tips and tools to make the most out of their time at UW! It is also great for seniors as they prepare to graduate and enter the workforce!

In EDUC 200, students learn skills to enhance their wellbeing in college and in their life in general. Particular focus is paid to skills that help students withstand common difficulties in life, like a disagreement with a loved one, tolerating doing work you don't want to do, and managing negative emotions in a healthy way. Skills will include...

• Landlord/Tenant
• Discrimination
• Immigration
• Protection Orders
• Name and gender markers
• Estate planning (wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives)
• Criminal and traffic
• Auto collisions and insurance
• Many other issues
