"Guide Service has given me a newfound appreciation of the culture and rich history of UVa. Being able to share the special story of this University has been a rewarding way to enrich my UVa experience."
"All of the members of the University Guide Service are really passionate and diverse individuals with a common goal to present the University through a student's eyes"
"The University Guide Service has instilled in me the rich, historical intricacies of Mr. Jefferson's great University; it has also introduced me to the most fascinating people I know- people that can leave you speechless one day and keep you talking for hours the next."
A Note from the Fall 2013 Probie Chair
…will be coming once he/she is elected in April.
To kick off our recruitment, we will be holding several information sessions all across grounds that will explain the whole try-out process. We highly recommend attending one. Information about when and where these will be will be posted on this site when available, and we will also post when they are available on our Facebook and on Twitter!
There are two phases to the try-out process. In the first phase, you will give a trial tour. This is a 15 minute historical tour of the Lawn, which you will give to two current guides,who will be your “tourists.”
Approximately 65 people will be selected to proceed to the second phase of the try-out process, which is an interview. The morning after the list of 65 is posted, there will be a meeting in the Dome Room of the Rotunda. At this meeting, you will sign up for your
interview, and you’ll learn more about how to prepare for it.
Good luck! We can’t wait to meet you!
