Inside this issue

Diversity of activities marks 2006 interviewers

By Marina Agapakis | October 19, 2006

As high school seniors gear up to submit their college applications, many of them have already made the journey to Hanover to be interviewed by the 11 student interviewers chosen from the Class of 2007.

In 2004, eight of the 15 senior interviewer posts were comprised of minority students. Of this year's chosen senior interviewers, seven self-identify as Caucasian, according to Deborah Wassel '07, a senior interviewer herself. "I think there are many more elements of diversity, however, than just being non-white," Wassel said.

"[The affinity houses] are in no worse shape than they were a year ago," Redman said.
