Now Hiring Admissions Student Recruiters

For our inaugural year, we are seeking outstanding Black/African American and Latinx/Hispanic undergraduate students to serve as peer recruiters for Black and Latino/a prospective students and their families. This is an hourly paid position managed by the Office of Admissions. During the fall semester, Student Recruiters will primarily engage prospective students and their families in the evening via phone, email, or video chat to answer questions about the university and encourage them to apply. During the spring semester, engagement may expand to student shadowing and other on-campus opportunities to help newly admitted Black and Latino/a students visualize themselves as future Longhorns and increase the likelihood of their enrollment. Additional details can be found on Hire A Longhorn or the attachment.

If you know an exceptional Black/African American and Latinx/Hispanic student who LOVES sharing their UT experience and is a great fit for this effort, please encourage them to apply. Applications are open on Hire a Longhorn through Tuesday, October 10. Click here to apply!
