The shortlisting process

Each member of Society/Community Exec will have an individual shortlisting spreadsheet, which they will use to score nominations received. Staff will collate all scoring into a master shortlisting document, where there is usually a clear winner. In an instance where scores do not give clear ranks, we may ask other full-time officers, part-time officers, or student leaders to shortlist.
