U of T Tour Guides work throughout the whole year, which unfortunately couldn't work with my already-packed schedule. Luckily, participating in Fall Campus Day was a great one-time experience that introduced me to the work that the Tour Guides do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"929\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/11\/20231119_210611000_iOS-929x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a student tour guide standing in front of a double-decker sightseeing bus\" class=\"wp-image-49142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/11\/20231119_210611000_iOS-929x1024.jpg 929w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/11\/20231119_210611000_iOS-272x300.jpg 272w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/11\/20231119_210611000_iOS-768x847.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/11\/20231119_210611000_iOS.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 929px) 100vw, 929px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By far the best part of my day was at the end. The last tour bus was scheduled to leave by 3:00pm. It was 2:55 and the last bus was fully packed and had just departed, but there was still a crowd of 70+ people who had been waiting in line to catch the bus. The last tour bus arrived at 2:57, and I asked my supervisor if it would be possible to fit all these people in one last bus. It wasn't 3:00pm yet, and I wanted to see if there was any way that the last group of people could get on a tour. After a few phone calls back and forth, we were able to make it happen! We were able to successfully get everyone on a tour bus before the day ended. It was stressful, but it was also super satisfying to see everything come together in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, I'm so glad I could help out during Fall Campus Day! If you're interested in being a Tour Guide or working with the Department of Recruitment, I recommend participating in Fall Campus Day to get a taste of the work they do.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nYashvit and Selina were actively involved with Fall Campus Day this year.
