Three (3) components together form the basis for our selection process for BOLT Leaders.
The BOLT application is one major part of the BOLT application process. It is weighed strongly along with a personal interview that will be conducted at a later point. Letters of Recommendation also assist us in our decision making process.
Your Application is due January 15, 2010
You will receive a link to the application upon submitting your contact information. We extend this process into January to offer applicants more time on the essays without losing our ability to recruit while we all are on campus.
This deadline is a fixed deadline. Please, do not be late. We are trying to be fair to all . The application will become inactive by the morning of January 16th. Don't miss out.
We also encourage you to review the leader position description, the spring training calendar and information about a BOLT leader interview all located on the Leader page Be sure that the training schedule and expectations for leaders aligns with your plans for the semester and your fall.
For questions and any other concerns contact the BOLT managers . Also contact the us if you have submitted an
application and haven't heard back from us by Dec 10th.
Your Recommendation is due January 15, 2010
Please arrange for one person who knows you well (non-peer, non-family member) to write a character recommendation on your behalf. Please do not ask past BOLT leaders or fellow students to write your recommendations; these would be a peer recommendation. We are looking for another point of reference that can speak to your teamwork ability, leadership skills, and other wonderful qualities.
Some helpful areas for us to hear include:
Leadership (no surprise here)
Team work and ability to contribute to positive group dynamics
Working within diverse groups for teamwork, group facilitation and leadership
Communication Skills
Problem Solving Abilities
Conflict Management Skills
Time Commitments and Leader Expectation
You are responsible for ensuring that this letter is received before January 15, 2010 . Recommendations should be addressed to: BOLT, Box 1930, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912
or emailed to BOLT@brown.edu
If we do not have the letter prior to the completion of the application and interview process, we will not be able to consider your application. Please remind your recommenders of the deadline 5-7 days prior to assist them with tracking on your request.
Your Interview will be scheduled at the end January or the first week of February, 2010
We allow every applicant an opportunity to meet with two current BOLT Leaders to ask questions about the program and to discuss their application, interest, abilities and skills for a leader position.
We recommend that you preview the information available our website about the program and about the interview
If you have any further questions about the application process, please feel free to contact the BOLT managers .
