Re: Political Issues within Team

We handle it all through the team handbook - there's a list of student expectations (13 of them) and a list of mentor expectations (9 of them) included, and really those expectations define the interaction between the students and mentors.

So for the students, we expect them to be prompt, follow the dress code, take the initiative, try new things, follow gracious professionalism, etc. Mentors need to share their expertise, let the students do the majority of the work, equitably treat all students, help the students achieve the goals of the team, etc.

Ultimately, if there are any behavioral issues (with either a student OR a mentor), we have two faculty advisers working with the team that can address the issue appropriately.
