Day 1

 Monday 5/10

    Today was an exciting day starting my project working with admissions. First we had a brief tour of the admissions office, then went back to the conference room to talk with Alicia about the next 2 weeks. Julia and I are excited to primarily be reorganizing the GreenKey tour guide system. This year due to Covid families were not able to visit and go on tours with students. Hopefully next year tours will be back to some kind of normal, as they are a very important aspect of perspective student's experience with the school. We will be training tour guides for next year and finding students to be leaders run the program. Today we sent out an email with a form asking for students who are interested in giving tours. We are working on thinking of ways to revamp the idea of giving tours and encourage more student to be involved. The rest of today was spent scheduling and planing out our time in the weeks to come and how we will accomplish our goals.

Todays Hours: 4

Week 1 Reflection

   Week 1 Reflection This week was a great start to my senior project. I have really enjoyed the time I spent in the admissions office. It is always interesting learning more about how this office works and all of the integral tasks they complete to contribute to the Proctor Community. This week Alicia provided us with a brief overview of what everyone in the office does. The spring is definitely the less busy time for the office, because there are not many visiting families and no student applications to review. Next week I am interested in finding out more about Alicia's role in admitting students and how that process works behind the scenes. In the spring however admissions is working on coordinating a lot with accepted students and students who have already committed to the school. They also are anticipating any changes happening at the school and how that will affect students. Julia and I have spent about half of our time being in the office. It has been interesting obser...

Week 2 Reflection

  Week 2 Reflection This week in admissions was very interesting. We continued to learn about the jobs of admissions officers and work towards completing the GreenKey System. Again this week Julia and I were very organized in how we decided to spend our time. On Monday we spent most of the day scheduling for the week. This week the main goal was to choose who the GreenKey reps for next year would be.  This process involved students filling out applications, and then Alica selected students to come in to be interviewed. Julia and I had both never interviewed anyone before, so we were nervous going into the interviews. Alicia was helpful giving us tips on how to conduct a good interview. She told us not to focus too much on scripted questions, and to think of it as a conversation. All of our interviews went very well. We had a surprising amount of interest, and after 40 applications we interviewed 20 students, and selected 12. It was difficult to  give interviews over and...
