Behavioral Presentation Group

The application process was simple. We had two rounds, the first was on Zoom and the second was in-person. It involved meeting with a committee and talking with people from around campus, which was really collaborative. They asked about anti-racism and college values. They also wanted to know how I would connect with the student body.

Behavioral

The admins and search committee were great. They were thoughtful, professional, on time, and helpful with special requests. I felt really good about the university's academic and administrative setup and was excited about potentially joining. I learned a lot about the university's focus on both interdisciplinary research and on including service/activism in academic work.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was a really positive experience. The committee made me feel comfortable and engaged in a discussion rather than bombarding me with questions. The questions were insightful and straightforward, aligning well with the role's requirements. The committee members were also very friendly, warm, and welcoming.
