APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP
Spring 2010
APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 19, 2010, 5PM
Thank you for your interest in becoming an Admissions Representative (AR) for the 2010-11
academic year. The primary role of the Admissions Representatives (ARs) is to assist the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions with recruitment and enrollment activities. ARs will be asked to
interview prospective students, to serve on student panels for open house programs, to participate in
group information sessions for campus visitors, to e-mail prospective students, and to serve more
generally as positive ambassadors of the university.
Due to the visible, public nature of the position, ARs are highly respected members of the office and
the university. Although some ARs enter the program with strong public speaking and presentation
skills, others develop them throughout the training process. Prospective ARs should demonstrate
energy, poise, and positive interpersonal skills; prior experience with interviewing and/or previous
work with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is appreciated.
The required time commitment is typically between one to two hours each week with the greatest
demand during the fall and late spring. Many of the office’s open house programs occur on Saturday
mornings; ARs should expect to contribute their time to Saturday programs and/or weekday open
house programs as needed. ARs are expected to dress neatly, to arrive for scheduled activities in a
timely fashion, and to represent the university in a positive, professional manner.
The selection process for ARs is highly competitive. As a result, there may be many strong
applicants to whom we are unable to offer positions. Rising juniors and seniors only are eligible
to apply. An application, a reference, and an interview are required portions of the selection
process.
1. Application: Please complete Parts I-III of the application.
2. Reference: Please ask a faculty member, administrator, advisor, etc. to complete the attached
recommendation form and send it directly to Amy Brokl and Mark Butt/Office of Undergraduate
Admissions/Mason Hall. This must be received by Friday, February 19th. If this proves challenging
for your reference, please notify Amy Brokl and Mark Butt directly at admissionsrep@jhu.edu.
3. Interview: When you return your application to the front desk in Mason Hall, please plan on
signing up for an interview time slot on the sheets provided. Interviews will be offered the weeks of
February 22 and March 1. If the times and/or dates listed on the interview sheets pose a problem
for you, please contact Amy Brokl or Mark Butt directly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
Amy Brokl and/or Mark Butt via phone at (410) 516-8171
or via e-mail at the following address: admissionsrep@jhu.edu.
