The Process

1. Chair

   1. The position of Chair is the only Team position that is discerned primarily by the students. This takes place at an appointed time, and in person attendance is necessary for participation. 

2. The Team

   1. Core Team & Coordinators

      1. Team will be comprised of Core Team positions (which include all Chair positions) as well as Coordinator positions (which serves in a specific role under a designated Chair). The Coordinators are considered part of the Leadership of Catholic Hoos and, as such, are also a part of Team, hence the need to collectively label Chairs as “Core Team.”

      2. In the application for Core Team, applicants no longer have the space to select preferred positions. This change comes from the desire to see Core Team function less as individual members and positions, and more as a collective of leaders who lead and support all aspects of the ministry. Core Team does not merely consist in members who hold only one position and have one set of responsibilities. While each member of Core Team will have a title, they are expected to collaborate with all members of Core Team to share the burden of Catholic Hoos leadership.
         
          

   2. Discernment process

      1. Each Core Team and Coordinator position is decided by the Campus Minister, Chaplain, and newly discerned Chair under the advisement of the previous year’s Core Team.

         1. Online nomination and application forms for student leadership will be made available on our website. A nomination is not necessary to submit an application to be on Team.

         2. The nomination forms will provide the space for all relevant information to be collected.

      2. Nominations for positions are accepted by filling out the application form. Again, it is not necessary that you are nominated in order to apply.

      3. The application will mainly consist of several essays

         1. After an application comes in, Core Team applicants will be interviewed by the campus minister and chaplain if necessary. 

      4. As soon as the deadline for Core Team passes and all Core Team applicants have been interviewed, the Campus Minister, Chaplain, and new Chair will consult the previous Core Team and finalize placements.

      5. Nominations and applications for Coordinators will continue to be accepted through the end of the semester and placements will be announced during the winter break.
