campus tour guide

College orientation leader

A campus tour guide is a person, typically a current student, who leads prospective students and their families around a college or university, pointing out buildings, explaining programs, and answering questions.

The role combines salesmanship with storytelling—guides walk backward while talking, a skill that has become almost iconic: The tour guide led us past the library, somehow never tripping.
