I’m interested in becoming a Navigator. What should I know before applying?

All students who are selected to be a Navigator must display a significant understanding and respect for the Dean’s Discipline process and be able to clearly articulate its purpose and benefits to the campus community. Applicants are also encouraged to share their vision for contributing to CSSI and supporting their peers. It is also key to have an understanding of emotional intelligence and effective boundary setting skills.
