Student Recruiters

Who We Are & What We Do

No one tells the Auburn story better than our students, and the Student Recruiters do just that. Selected through a rigorous interview process, these student representatives are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The recruiters lead walking tours of the Auburn campus four times daily, and are ready to provide a student's point of view of what makes Auburn a truly special place.

Student Recruiters is an organization formed with the sole purpose of serving the Auburn University Office of Undergraduate Recruitment. The organization is made up of 60 volunteer students selected through a highly competitive interview process. The work that Student Recruiters do is done out of a desire to see Auburn improve the caliber of students coming in each year.

Student Recruiters give campus tours from the Office of Undergraduate Recruitment. The tours may be family or group tours, in good weather or bad.

Student Recruiters assist admissions advisors by joining them at recruitment events all over the state of Alabama and throughout many of the states in the Southeast.

Student Recruiters are the student representatives of the Office of Undergraduate Recruitment at Auburn events such as War Eagle Days, TALONS Days, Presidential Scholars Days, and Auburn regional receptions.
