Volunteer for the Ammi Hyde Interview

The Ammi Hyde Interviews are approaching and we encourage you to participate in helping DU choose students who are the best "fit" for the upcoming entering class. Through the Hyde Interview, we hope to gain impressions about prospective students' motivation and character while offering them an opportunity to give voice to their applications and individual strengths. The interview also provides our alumni with an opportunity to connect with prospective undergraduate students and to represent the University of Denver.

The following are some quick facts regarding the Hyde Interview and important information to keep in mind. For those of you who volunteered last year, thank you, and please note we have made some minor adjustments to improve the overall process.
