Daily Visit Tours
Below is a typical tour route with general talking points and info to add spice to your tour. What brings the tour to life are YOUR personal stories. Aim to share between 5-10 stories about your experiences and re-design the route to fit your tour!
Please arrive to Stewart center no less than 15 minutes before the start of your tour, this ensures any adjustments to routes can be made and groups can be sorted. Tours will last around 1 hour and 15 minutes, and tour guides should aim to have their group inside of Stewart in the first fifteen minutes of the hour they return (ex: for the 9:45 tour, the families should be at Stewart between 11:00-11:15)
Enter the room with energy!
Our visitors have been sitting for 30 minutes, so bring your sparkle! Timing is important, as the Purdue logo comes up on the screen at the end of the video, this is when you should be in front with the lights on (press all on the light switch to the left of the door as you walk in). Share your name, major and a personal aspect about why you love Purdue. This can be anything from your favorite student organization to an inspiring mentor or your study abroad experience!
There are two options for the tour: one heads out towards Stadium Mall, the other heads out towards the clapping circle. Both finish back at Stewart! Talk with fellow ambassadors to decide your route to avoid congestion.

Spirit of the Land Grant College Symbolism: Fun Fact: Years ago a custodian came to freshen up the mural and damaged it during the cleaning. They called the artist back to repaint it and he did everything exactly the same except for one addition – look at the bottom right – paragraph entitled “TO CLEAN” – very specific cleaning instructions.
