The Wellness Resource Center will start on-campus interviews for the long-vacant Campus Advocate position on Feb. 10 according to its director, Molly Hadley.
The entire campus community is invited to hear from the first candidate to visit Colorado College since the former advocate left in July 2024, for a Campus Forum. During the forum, students will be able to ask the candidate questions after the candidate presents a prepared presentation answering response prompts from the hiring committee.
The forum is scheduled on Feb. 10 between 2-2:45 pm. All attendees are required to register here. Upon registering, further information and the location will be provided to those registered via email.
For two additional candidates, on-campus interviews are likely to occur on Feb. 17 and Feb. 19, according to Hadley, hoping to finalize those candidates very soon and make the dates permanent in order to announce to the campus community.
According to Hadley, “We have gone through three rounds of application processes,” beginning with applicant pools of around 40-60 applicants applying via the application posts. After sorting through those, they invite around 6-10 applicants to a Zoom interview. Twice, the committee has had to restart the hiring rounds, due to not enough applicants reaching that final round.
This will be the first time in six months the hiring committee welcomes candidates to the CC campus.
Feb. 17’s forum will be held between 1-1:45 pm., where campus community members can register here, while Feb. 19’s forum is from 2-2:45 pm. Campus community members are welcome to register here.”
“We’ve gotten to on-campus interviews twice,” Hadley says. However, after inviting three candidates to campus previous times, two of them have dropped out of the process, reasons may include other jobs or changing their minds.
For this reason, the committee has had to start over again.
“We know we want to bring more than one candidate to campus for the campus community to see and assess.”
In the meantime, director Molly Hadley of the Wellness Resource Center urges students to continue to use the confidential resources provided on the Sexual Assault Response & Prevention page under “Get Support” on the CC website. Hadley reiterates the importance of those resources during a time in which the designated confidential resource for students directly or indirectly affected by sexual assault remains vacant, for there are alternatives for the students, despite the ongoing search.
