What does a University Ambassador do?

The University Ambassadors are a diverse group of ENTHUSIASTIC student representatives of The Ohio State University. Ambassadors are responsible for:

  • leading campus tours for prospective students and their families, as well as for other constituencies
  • representing the university in other capacities, such as escorting dignitaries, serving on student panels, and making presentations

Ambassadors must be available for two tours per week and on occasional Saturdays. Tours are typically at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and last for 90 minutes.
