Information about our campus tours:

Campus tours are provided by the student TOUR Ambassadors for the Welcome Center. Tours are typically 1 hour long, leaving from the Welcome Center located in the southwest corner of Reser Stadium, and they generally end at the Memorial Union. The start/end location may be flexible based on your needs.

The general campus tour route covers the core part of campus. TOUR Ambassadors are thoroughly trained to provide tours that cover information about: all the undergraduate majors/colleges at OSU, numerous student support services and resources, cultural centers, athletics, and more. Ambassadors will also share personal stories about their experiences as OSU students. Please note that Welcome Center TOUR Ambassadors are not trained about every academic building on campus, nor are they able to provide uniquely customized tours about a specific academic program or building.

Keeping all of this in mind, please let us know the start and end time for the tour, and if you would like to request a different start/end location than previously mentioned, please note that here. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate your request, but we will do our best:

Please provide us with information about who the tour will be for. Include names (if you have them), the context or purpose for their visit, etc.

We encourage new employees to join one of our scheduled daily campus tours with other visitors. These tours are 90 minutes long and will introduce employees to all things OSU: all the academic colleges/majors, student support services and resources, etc. Campus tours will see a sample residence hall room, will go through Dixon Recreation Center, will look inside the Student Experience Center and the Memorial Union, and will inform employees about the many services at OSU that can support students.

We offer 3 daily tours per day, please select the tour you would like to join on the date you selected above:

10:00-11:30 a.m.

12:00-1:30 p.m.

3:00-4:30 p.m.

How many people do you expect will be attending the tour? (This number can change, we just need a rough estimate to begin with.)
