Faculty/Staff Recommendation Form for PAC Re-Applicant

All applications will be reviewed in the first round of the selection process. The names of the applicants will be removed prior to the applications being evaluated to create an anonymous environment.

Following this, a select group of applicants will be asked back for a round of interviews during the week of April 26 - April 30, 2021. 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 student selected for an interview that is attending an overseas program (or Washington DC) will have the opportunity to interview live via Skype or alternative Web service. From these interviews, the 2021–2022 Council will be selected.

In early May 2021, the Pepperdine Ambassadors Council 2021–2022 will be announced.
