The Application Process

All applications will be reviewed in the first round of the selection process.  The names of the applicants will be removed prior to the applications being evaluated to create an anonymous environment.

Following this a select group of applicants will be asked back for a second round of interviews during the week of March 24-March 28.  Members of the current council and various faculty, staff, and community members will be sitting in on these interviews and helping to evaluate each applicant.  Any students selected for an interview that are on an overseas program (or Washington DC) will have their pre-taped videos evaluated at this point.  From these interviews the 2008-2009 Council will be selected.

On April 4 the Pepperdine Ambassadors Council 2008-2009 will be announced.
