The intern is a very important part of the Bates Admission Office. Summer Interns provide prospective students and families with a personal glimpse of life here. Often, that glimpse is the deciding factor in a prospective student’s decision to apply to and enroll at Bates. In addition to tours, the intern is expected to assist the Deans with group information sessions and to assist the staff with various tasks ranging from receptionist responsibilities to office projects.

Tourguides must maintain enthusiasm and energy, plus have a willingness to answer all questions in a diplomatic fashion. Tourguides should have a good overall grasp of life at Bates. We do not expect tour guides/interns to know every detail about the school, as they will receive training from Admission officers. Providing a personal perspective of campus life is an absolute necessity in the intern?s job. Each tourguide will perform 3 to 4 tours daily and additional projects as needed.

Pay is $10/hour.
