FOP Post Application Due Today

Today marks the deadline for applications for the position of director of the First-Year Outdoor Program (FOP), a post which has been vacant since September.

The Freshman Dean's Office had received more than a dozen applications for the position by yesterday afternoon, according to Assistant Dean of Freshman Michael J. Middleton '87.

"Sometime next week [the FOP steering committee and I will] pour through them and get a sense of how the applicant pool is like," Middleton said.

FOP is a student-run, College supported wilderness orientation program for first year students which involves about 350 participants and 75 upper class leaders each summer.

Middleton said that by the second week of December he and Dean of Freshman Elizabeth S. Nathans would have chosen a new director for the program.

The new director will fill a space that has been vacant since the last official director, Divinity School student Timothy Relvea, left in July, after serving only one month, Middleton said.
