Hi ‘16s & graduating students!


Over 700 students submit applications every year to volunteer for the First
Year Trips Program. Because of the quantity of applications, it is not in
the capacity of the Trips Directorate to evaluate these applications on our
own. For several years, the Trips Directorate has selected a group of 20-30
additional readers from the senior class to help in the process of reading
and grading Trip Leader applications. In the past, the Trips Directorate
has nominated seniors to join this process based on prior involvement in
the Trips program. This year we are opening the process to the entire class
of 2016 in order to increase transparency.


Over the past four years, hundreds of ‘16s have been committed to and
involved with the Trips program in some capacity. This is your last
opportunity to continue to impact the program and contribute to welcoming
the Class of 2020.


The 2016 Trip Leader Application Readers will be a holistic and
representative group of graduating students that is committed to the
communities of Dartmouth; each reader will assist in selecting a diverse
group of Trip Leaders to welcome the Class of 2020 by reading and grading
Trip Leader applications. There will be 20 to 30 readers who individually
meet the criteria below.


Trip Leader Application Reader Criteria:

   1.

   Graduating students who are not applying to the 2016 Trips Program.
   2.

   Must have some experience with Trips (as a trippee, trip leader,
   crooling, or directorate member).
   3.

   Committed to bettering Trips and creating a volunteer base that is fully
   representative of Dartmouth’s student body by selecting a diverse
   collection of Trip Leaders.
   4.

   Be willing to spend 8-12 hours a week reading apps from April 1st to
   April 15th.


If you meet the above criteria, please consider filling out a (very) short
interest form by March 1 to grade Trip Leader applications for Trips 2016.
This is NOT an application but merely an opportunity to express your
interest in becoming a Trip Leader Application Reader.


If you are interested, please fill out this form.
