Selection and Orientation Convener: Katie Strohm The Selection and orientation Committee (S&O) oversees recruitment and selection of each new class of Bonner Scholars and is responsible for planning and leading the new Bonner orientation that occurs the week before the start of classes in the fall semester. This committee works closely with the Bonner liaison in the Admissions office and other Earlham staff who assist in the recruitment and selection process. The committee’s duties include planning and implementing the new Bonner orientation each August; recruiting, overseeing and serving as mentors for new Bonners throughout the fall semester and longer as needed; reviewing and updating recruitment materials including the Bonner application; working with staff to set the schedule and carry out tasks involved in the recruitment process; staff a phone-a-thon to remind prospective Bonner applicants of the application deadline and answer questions about the program; and read and score a designated number of applications (usually somewhere between 10 and 15 per person). (Please note that the final selection of Bonner Scholars is made by the Recruitment Team which includes the Bonner Scholars Program Director and Coordinator, the Bonner liaison from the admissions office, a representative from one of the community partner agencies, the student co-convener of S&O and two other S&O members chosen by the S&O committee.) S&O generally meets twice per month for an hour to an hour and a half.
