Recruiters

The Blinn College recruiting team makes personal visits to high schools throughout the state of Texas. The recruiters are available to attend college day/night programs, set up a general information table in the cafeteria or library during student’s lunch hours, make classroom presentations or host a school assembly. During the fall semester, recruiter’s efforts are closely tied to the TACRAO (Texas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) schedule and its programs. The spring semester focuses on Blinn’s service area schools with particular emphasis on classroom presentations.

Tour Guides

The Blinn College Office of Recruitment employs several student workers who serve as tour guides. Selection of tour guides is based on academic standing, leadership, speaking ability, composure, responsibility and availability to perform required tasks. Student worker/tour guides provide daily tours of the Blinn College – Brenham campus. Tours include academic and administrative buildings, library, band hall, athletic facilities, student center, tutoring facilities and labs, and residence halls.
