The Office of Admissions is looking for enthusiastic students for the Fall 2026 Barnard Student Admissions Representative (BSAR) team. More than just tour guides, Barnard Student Admissions Representatives (BSARs) serve as storytellers, ambassadors, and vital resources for the future Barnard students and their families. BSARs share their experiences through campus tours, virtual panels, and interactions via email and phone calls. BSARs gain valuable public speaking experience and organization skills, all while learning more about college admissions. BSARs work closely with the professional Barnard Admissions staff and can serve on BSAR committees assisting with projects like event planning, social media content creation, college access initiatives, alumnae engagement, and more. The BSAR role offers a dynamic opportunity to grow professional skills while sharing enthusiasm for Barnard with others.

Hours and Compensation: This position is work-study eligible and will begin with the Fall 2026 Semester. The pay rate will be $18/hour. BSARs can expect one 3-hour shift per week, with additional shift opportunities around fall and spring admissions events.

Eligibility and Qualifications: We will prioritize applications from first or second-year Barnard students. Barnard Student Admissions Representatives should possess strong organizational and communication skills and an ability to represent the Admissions Office in an enthusiastic, inclusive, and professional manner.

Barnard Student Admissions Representatives will be expected to:

Be available to work (complete training) in the Fall 2026 semester or upon return from study abroad in Spring 2027
Maintain a professional and friendly working relationship with members of the Admissions staff
Attend assigned shifts on time
Talk about Barnard and the application process in an enthusiastic, inclusive, and professional manner
