Following this a select group of applicants will be asked back for a second round of interviews during the week of March 10-14. Members of the current council and various faculty, staff, and community members will be sitting in on these interviews and helping to evaluate each applicant. Any students selected for an interview that are attending an overseas program (or Washington DC) will have the opportunity to interview live via Skype or alternative Web service. From these interviews the 2014–2015 Council will be selected.
