The 360 Tour

The 360 Tour is a guided behind-the-scenes tour that shows alumni, elected officials, business leaders, journalists and other community leaders an in-depth view of San Diego State University.

The tours accommodate groups of six guests at a time and begin with a personal welcome from President Weber, Provost Marlin or other senior university official. Following a light breakfast and short video presentation, guests board the VIP Cart and a student ambassador guides them through a cross section of SDSU's campus and facilities. After three 20-minute tour stops, where faculty and students interact with guests, the tour ends with final comments from another senior university official.

Some of the tour stops include Athletics, KPBS, Human Patient Simulation Center in the School of Nursing, the Immersive Visualization/Homeland Security Center, the Exercise Physiology Lab and more. Tours take place every other Friday from 7:45 to 9:45 a.m. during the academic year.
