Outl ine for PLC Recruitment Revisions

 Application Review: 

-  Each application reviewed twice with defined Rubrico   Application must be read by Core Staff Readero   Application must be read by Student Staff or supporting reader.

  If initial read by this member is scored above an 80 or below a 40 thenthe application just need checked by a professional staff member butshould be placed in “No Interview.”

Interview Process: 

-   Two Days of Experience PLC and Interviews. o   Visit Day Portion: 

  Need to consider the amount of time the scholar is on campus withdown time. 

  Need to make sure this doesn’t make the scholar MORE nervous being here. 

  Ideas: Possibly just have rotating tours of campus by PLC Scholars, haverotating panels of PLC Scholars, have rotating panels of campusresources (Jennifer McDuffie, Financial Aid, Housing, Joan, etc.) 

•  Possible structure would look like this. o  10am – Tour o  11 am – Student Panel 

o  12 pm – Resource panel o  1pm – Tour o  2pm – Resource Panel o  3pm – Student Panel o  4pm- Tour 

•   With this type of structure no matter when an applicantinterviewed, they would be able to structure the day to attend allthree close together 

•  Offer options for lunch. Possibly purchase “meal tickets” todorms or Alfred Packard Grill to add another option to thesections above. 

• Have both panels set up in UMC or building with two largerooms. 

•   Tours leave from same building so there is central location thatour student staff can man.

Concerns: 

-  Standardizing the Reading processo  Once we figure out WHAT we are looking for we need to create a Rubric that

standardizes at least MOST of the scoring system. Then, only one Professionalstaff read is necessary to check on the subjective pieces of the application.

   Things to flag: First Generation, Minority applicants, rural applicants, Athletes, low-income applicants, applicants with who have overcomesomething, etc.

-  Standardizing the interview processo   There must be 10 Standard Interviewers (one per room) that have a common

type of scholar they are looking for and rank applicants similar.   Ways to achieve this:

•   Training for standard interviewer prior to the panels•  Have a break midway through the afternoon interviews and

panels switch groups or switch standard interviewer.-  Selection process

o   We will have to rely on scores from interview process and no single personseeing all applicants.

  Checks for this system:•   Take into account the Professional staff reading score•   Weight the standardized interview panelist scores•  Have a certain level of score that is automatically an “alternate”

and then we select the 70ish students taking into accountdemographics, our opinions, etc.
