The Students of Our Future, 12:30pm - 2:00pm, Monday, May 18, 2015
As faculty members, instructional designers, and administrative staff, you interact with students on a daily basis. What qualities do you most value in them? What kinds of admissions materials can help measure
these often intangible traits--and how exactly? Admissions Office and CAFA (Council on Admissions and Financial Aid) are asking for your input to broaden and fine-tune Dartmouth's existing process. The workshop will focus on the reading and discussion of a
specific case study to start a sustained conversation.
