If you would like to apply to be an "Affinity/Special Program UGA", you will need to complete an essay for each affinity or special program in which you are interested.
This essay requirement applies only to the following programs:
Below are the essay questions you will need to answer for each Affinity/Special Program UGA position for which you would like to apply. You should write your essays in a word processing program that can be read on Windows computers.
When completed, submit your essays by blitzing them to "uga" as an attachment in a blitzmail message, by the application deadline, as indicated above.
Most of the questions asked for each program are the same as the questions asked on the housing application for the program. If you intend to apply to live in one of these programs in the event that you are not selected to be a UGA, you should save your essay responses so that you do not have to rewrite them for the housing application.
Once your essays have been submitted, they will be reviewed by the advisor for the relevant program. The advisor will determine if you meet the basic requirements for the program, and will also use the information to make recommendations regarding each candidate's suitability for the UGA position in the program.
Affinity/Special Program UGAs have essentially the same job description as other UGAs, but the nature of these programs requires that Affinity UGAs work more closely with house advisors/coordinators, have familiarity with and understanding of the program for which they are hired, and in some cases the UGA needs to meet the language requirements of the program.
You can read a description of each affinity program at this link:

Sustainable Living Center
Program Description: The SLC (North Hall) has 19 beds on coed floors. Its residents are committed to participating in and developing events and ideas for the SLC and for setting an example on the Dartmouth campus. Students are expected to take a leadership position in the house, to help with chores and Wednesday Night Dinners, and to live conscientiously, self-observing and -critical. Just remember, you might have to think twice about your mini-fridge and hairdryer. The UGA role is to manage traditional UGA duties while also taking part in one of the leadership positions, typically involving programming for the house. There is an Advisory Board for the house that consists of a number of College staff and SLC students who work to further the mission of the house. The CD supervises the UGA and manages the day-to-day living experience of the residents. For more information, visit our website: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~slc/
