Why do you want to continue as a member of the Admissions Committee? (150 words max)

Among Booth's core values is respect for different perspectives, ideas, and recognition of common humanity. We welcome and embrace people from all ethnicities, cultures, genders, sexual orientations, political ideologies, and religious or non-religious believes. What does it mean to you to foster an inclusive community through your work with the Admissions Committee?

Please provide any feedback you have on the Admissions Committee or candidate evaluation process:

Admissions Committee members will be asked to participate in admissions interviews each quarter from January 2023 through December 2023. If you are graduating during this time, you may still apply and remain an Admissions Committee member as an alum.

In terms of requirements to participate, currently:

Interviews will be offered in-person and virtually – the admissions team will assist in coordinating in-person interviews, while virtual interviews are scheduled between you and the candidate. You will receive confirmation from Admissions with all necessary information.
In-person interviews take place M-F evenings and select Saturdays at Gleacher Center.
As a part of the Admissions Committee, you will play an important part in yielding students. You'll connect with and reach out to prospective students and admits via email to discuss your experience in the program, typically related to a shared academic and/or professional background/goals.
For current students, you must be in "active student" status to participate. If you go on "inactive student" status, you can resume your participation once you are enrolled in courses.

Based on the above information, are you able to fully commit to these activities throughout the year? It is very important that you can be at Gleacher for any in-person interview times that you commit to.

Your application will only be considered if you are be able to fully commit to these activities throughout the year.
