New Mexico Tech was recently ranked as one of the Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions, but the top science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) school isn’t about all work and no play. Recently, the communication, liberal arts, and social sciences (CLASS) department helped students take a break from their studies and pandemic fatigue with a little comedic relief.
On Nov. 19, CLASS presented the play “13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview,” live-streamed at NM Techs’ Macey Center.
According to NM, the theater students chose a play that was “really silly because of the situation we’re all in,” said Professor Theresa Apodaca in a statement.
Apodaca has two master’s degrees in Science Teaching and has been involved with small theater for many years.
“All the students have been great to work with,” Apodaca added, who also played a role in the comedy. “They really like coming here, not just staring at a computer screen. There’s good energy in the face to face interactions.”
The play revolves around two university recruiters who need to fill a spot. But the simple task quickly turns into a nightmare when the line of applicants include a reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, a Stepfordish wife, and more. Some of the characters play multiple roles, adding to the enjoyment and fun.
Each applicant’s interview hilariously illustrates what NOT to do at a college interview. Click “13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview” to read more.
