We have not made an absolute decision yet, but most of our candidates are within driving distance. Additionally, I have worked for colleges that have 100 or more candidates interviewing on the same day, and have fewer interview days. However, we prefer to have more interview days, and have no more than 10 people at a time: ten in the am, and ten in the pm. Therefore, we believe we can maintain social distancing and continue to have onsite interviews for local candidates. It is likely we will use Microsoft Teams or another interactive platform for those outside of driving distance and have all distant candidates on several days, maintaining our ten per session maximum.

Good Morning -
I was asked to pose this question in this community.
I hope everyone is doing ok during these challenging times. As more schools look to take teaching online and limit interactions on campus, I was wondering what approaches are being considered for your admissions and recruitment operations? I am most interested in how schools will administer their remaining interviews. Any insight I am sure will be helpful to many. Thank you. Please stay healthy and safe, everyone!
