Joel –

Something we do at the University of Florida is give out the “Tour de Cecil” (long story on where the name came from! lol). It’s basically a sock monkey that is given out at our meeting twice a month. The tour guide who currently has it selects who gets it next. They also give a little presentation about why they chose that person and they get a slide in the meeting with pictures of them on tours, etc. It’s kind of an unspoken rule that the same person doesn’t get it twice except for extreme circumstances (ex. Someone went into labor on your tour last week and you didn’t panic!).

When you have TdC you get to sign your name on it and take it home for the two weeks. Many students will bring it in when they give a tour and take a picture with it, etc.

This works well for us and is essentially free. Recognition goes a long way! Any ideas from anyone else? ☺

Greetings colleagues-

I would like to do more with regularly recognizing my student tour guides. What types of formal recognition programs do you have in place that seem to work well?

If you do a "tour guide of the month" type of deal, how is the recipient chosen? Recommendations from other tour guides, professional staff, visitors? What do you give the recipient?

Any thoughts and ideas are most welcome!

Thanks,
Joel
