Fresh X Leader Application
Important Information
Thanks for applying to be a Fresh X leader! Keep this cover page to remind you of important dates for Fresh X. The student leader selection process consists of two parts. This written application is first. After we review your application, you may be invited to an individual interview. You must participate in bothparts to be considered for a leadership position. (Exception: Returning student leaders are not required to do individual interviews.)
The application is due by 5:00pm on Monday, March 30, 2015. Email it to or turn it in to the Chaplain’s Office (301 HWCC). Turning in your application late will greatly reduce your chances of being selected.
You will receive an email byMarch 31informing you if you are invited to the interview portion of the selection process. (Returning leaders who are accepted will not need to sign up for an interview.)
Interviews will be on the 4th floor of HWCC and will be held April 2-3. It is important that you arrive on time to your interviews.
