Application Questions

Instructions - Please complete the following short answer questions in 250 words or less for each one.

Tell us about your biggest leadership success in the last year or two?

Given what you know about the role from the job description, what prior leadership experience (camp counselor, RA, extra curricular leader, student government leader, sports team) have you had that makes you a good candidate?

Tell us about a time that you fostered a sense of belonging and community amongst your peers?

Tell us about a time that you organized things to bring together a group of people for fun, for education or for action?

Imagine you were at a social event at school with 50 strangers, how does that make you feel? How would you approach the situation?

Tell me about a time when you made a mistake or came up short against a goal. What did you learn? Is there anything you would do differently, and if so, why?

Thank you! We will be in touch to follow up about your application and the next steps in the CA hiring process.
