Re: Graduate -> Mentor

1640 allows graduates to become mentors. By-in-large this has worked out well, but not all students make the student-->mentor transition painlessly (or successfully).

We've found that (maybe not so surprisingly) that students who exhibit strong drive and leadership skills make good mentors and transition more smoothly from one role to the other. If a student was already teaching and guiding others in their Junior and Senior years, the prospects for their becoming effective mentors is pretty good.
