Job Description

Guides will also be expected to be hosts, greeters, and NKU representatives at university-sponsored and campus events.

These group visits typically :

• Include upwards of 120 students per visit.
• Visiting students are broken into groups of 25-35 students per tour group, so numerous tour guides are needed for large group visits.
• The number of group visits varies per week; guides pick and choose the tours they can lead; there is no requirement for minimum hours per week.
• Community events are periodic and could come up at any time.
