Hi Barbara,

I've answered the questions below! Hope it helps!

Sincerely,
Kanani (Portland State University)

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. *Starting this year we have limited our group visits to high
school or transfer students only.  We've developed a webpage for elementary
and middle school groups with helpful tips and phone numbers to call and
create their own visit.*

Do you limit these tours to specific days? (if yes, which days)* Tuesday
and Thursday (w/ enough notice we'll schedule another day, but we will only
do 2 group visits per week)*

Do you limit these tours to specific hours of the day? (which times) *9:30am
and 1:30pm*

Do you limit the number of people per group tour? (e.g. 50 students per
group that visits) *40-50 students*

Do you require a certain number of chaperones for the groups of students? *
Yes*
If yes, what is the ratio per student? *1:10*

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? *No. We will put them in touch
with dining services to arrange and pay for their own lunch. If they
request a room to eat in (they bring their own lunch) we will arrange and
pay for the room.*

Outside of the tour and potential lunch, what else do you provide for a
group visit? *An Admissions Info Session is standard.  Additional requests
we've accommodated are housing tours, rec center tours, panel and meeting
with specific student services.*


Thanks in advance from your friends at Valpo!
