[civsa] Groups that visit your campus

[Barb Lieske]

Hi all!  Can you provide us some feedback, please, on how you accommodate
organized groups that want to visit your campus?  Our requests for high
school and other group visits have exploded in the past two years and we're
trying to determine what other schools are doing and how we should modify
our own programs, if at all.


What audiences do you accommodate? (elementary, or middle, or high schools,
or all three; alumni; church youth groups; community groups?)  For
instance, we recently had requests from a high school wanting to bring 150
students to campus for a tour & info session followed by a diversity panel
(current students) and we had requests from elementary schools wanting to
bring 55 students for a tour and session about the importance of academics
and we had a request from alumni classmates who want an historical tour of
campus and we've had church youth groups who want us to tell them about
Valpo while giving a campus tour followed by attendance at the chapel
service.

Do you limit these tours to specific days? (if yes, which days)

Do you limit these tours to specific hours of the day? (which times)

Do you limit the number of people per group tour? (e.g. 50 students per
group that visits)

Do you require a certain number of chaperones for the groups of students?
If yes, what is the ratio per student?

Do you feed your groups on campus/pay for the meals through your own budget
or do you tell them to bring a sack lunch?

Outside of the tour and potential lunch, what else do you provide for a
group visit?


Thanks in advance from your friends at Valpo!
