Spring 2004 Candidate Interviews

As part of the new procedures for evaluating the character of the candidates, two of the officers (Patricia and Veronica) met with the spring candidates for 5-10 minutes at a time to conduct informal interviews. Although the procedure itself is a formalization of election, the interviews were meant to be informal so as to get to know the candidates better on a personal level. The primary function of the interviews was to ensure that each candidate was in (at least) their fourth semester at Manhattan and that they are involved in activities beyond the minimum degree requirements. Each candidate was asked to bring a copy of his/her current resume. The following notes are a result of the interviews from February 18, 2004:
