>> How do you get to be a tour guide?
>> So there's two different types of tour guides, actually.
There's one through the admissions office, which does the typical tours for
high school seniors and juniors and their parents.
And every semester or so, they send out the application to all the Rice students.
And basically, if you love Rice, apply here.
And you do a quick interview, and
then they give you all the training needed to be a tour guide.
And then for the Welcome Center, it's pretty similar.
>> Okay, well, Jenna, from time to time, I host special visitors on campus, and
I was wondering how would I go about arranging a tour for them?
>> If your special visitors were not high school juniors or
seniors or prospective students looking to come here,
you would contact Sarah Fina Van at the Welcome Center.
And she'd be more than happy to arrange that for you.
She'll set you up with a tour guide.
And the nice thing about the Welcome Center is that we can
do personalized tours.
So I've done 30 minute tours for elementary school children, because they
don't really have attention spans longer than that and given presentations.
But I've also done hour and a half tours for
presidents of universities who want to see like every aspect of campus.
So you can really personalize your tour with the Welcome Center, so
if you wish to do so.
>> So if I wanted you to give a tour for some of my visitors,
how would I reach out to you so that I got you for my guide?
>> You would probably just tell Sarah Fina, you could probably request me.
And if it's on a day that I can make it because I only work Tuesdays,
Thursdays, because there are other tour guides who, I promise you,
are equally good- >> Okay.
>> Who work other days, who can do your tours well, if it doesn't match up.
>> So if I'm on a Tuesday or Thursday, just request you and
you're okay with that.
>> I'll be there.
I'm very excited about that.
It's very flattering.
>> Okay, well, great, well if you need to reach out to me for anything,
here's my business card.
>> Well, thank you very much. >> Before contacting you and
seeing you again around campus walking backwards.
>> Well, it was nice to meet you, Dave.
>> Nice to meet you, Jenna. >> Have a wonderful day.
>> You too.
Now that you've had a chance to view the personal greeting interview, and
we're back in the studio, we can take a fresh look at this via instant replay.

Remember that we talked about the greeting,
where we're focused on the stance, the voice, the handshake,
eye contact, be aware of those as we look at the video.
Also, make note of the conversation we
have where we establish points of mutual interest.
