As you may be aware, the application to become a Senior Interviewer is now available to all current Wesleyan juniors.  In order to provide more information about the position, especially since it has changed as we’ve responded to the pandemic, we are offering an information session to learn more, ask questions, and hear from current SIs about their experiences and takeaways.

The information session will be at 7pm on Tuesday, April 13th.  The application is due at noon on Monday, April 19, and interviews commence the following week.  This position is a great chance to share your Wesleyan experience, develop valuable skills, become a better interviewee as you prepare to graduate, influence who applies to Wesleyan and have a voice in the admission process.

The application is available on Handshake and here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Iz3k30nBo65HdW4kJU5Nf1D-EdY8gGJMS_VirNjbz9Q/edit

We look forward to seeing you next week and, hopefully, reading your application soon.

The Office of Admission is pleased to announce the application to be a Senior Interviewer for the 2021-22 academic year is now open. The Senior Interviewer position is a professional appointment in the Office of Admission interacting with and informing a range of constituents about Wesleyan University, and evaluating prospective students through personal interviews.  One of the unseen benefits to the Covid-19 pandemic was a reevaluation of the Senior Interviewer program as a virtual enterprise, which led to significant changes that have improved its efficacy and reach.  SIs now spend the majority of their time working virtually, meeting high school students where they are, doing WesChats, information sessions, and interviews on evenings and weekends.  As campus life returns to normal next fall, some on campus, in-person aspects of the program will continue to be important: Saturday morning interviews, information sessions, and Open House programming in the fall, and of course a return to a WesFest, Live! Format next spring.  A more comprehensive job description is available on Handshake and in the application itself.
