University announces changes in campus tour guide
Traditionally, staff from the admission office has led the secondary-students who are considering attending the university. Beginning the next semester, however, current students will lead these guided walks around campus instead. “The staff of the admission office no longer have the time to lead campus tour, we need to focus our resources on our other responsibilities,” explained Christine Tanner, the director of admission. “Furthermore, we feel that current student will offer unique and valuable insight to our visitors during these campus tours”.
