Thank you for your continued support in our efforts to perform community service in the surrounding community. Contact me at sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu for additional information.

Senior Interview Project University City High School

The senior project involves having seniors mock interview with professionals from outside the school. Most of the students have never interviewed before, and are working hard at overcoming their nervousness and acquiring interview skills. They have been practicing their interview skills with their mentors in their senior mentoring program, and would like to have a safe but realistic interviewing experience with people they don’t know. We need 14 people to interview five students each on Tuesday, April 25, from 10-11:30 a.m. at UCHS. Each interview should last 10-12 minutes. Interviewers will be provided with interview questions to ask; they can improvise as they see fit. At the conclusion of each interview the interviewers will fill out a short evaluation of the student’s interview skills. Interviewing is a real-world skill that all students need, and the seniors are looking forward to being able to test their skills.
