What should be included in a campus tour elevator pitch?

• A. A detailed history of the college.
• B. A concise summary of C&IS programs, highlights, and how to connect with resources.
• C. A list of all faculty names.
• D. A timetable of tours.

Answer: (D)

In an elevator pitch for a campus tour, the focus is on delivering a quick, engaging snapshot of what C&IS offers, why it’s appealing, and how to connect with you or the school’s resources. The best choice emphasizes a concise summary of programs, the notable highlights that set the college apart, and clear next steps for getting more information or connected with resources. This format grabs a prospective student’s interest in a short moment and points them toward tangible actions, like meeting admissions staff, exploring programs, or visiting resource hubs.

The other options don’t fit the purpose of a pitch. A detailed history is too long for a brief introduction and can overwhelm someone hearing it for the first time. Listing all faculty names isn’t relevant to the value a campus tour aims to convey and can clutter the message. A timetable of tours is logistical information best shared after interest is established, not the core of an elevator pitch.
