Ryleigh Waiters, a senior University Ambassador and exercise science major from Lancaster, South Carolina, has turned giving back to the university into her passion. She has spent 400 hours volunteering with the organization as a university tour guide, as well as an additional 250 paid leadership hours.

"While touring college campuses as a junior and senior in high school, I developed the desire to become a tour guide at whatever campus I ended up attending. I loved the enthusiasm and passion tour guides embodied for their schools, and my UofSC tour guide really sealed the deal for me. It has been strenuous at times, but overall the most rewarding experience. I am honored to serve a university that has provided me with the most limitless opportunities."
