One thing I am going to comment about new students is that, don't exclude them. Try and get them in with the team as soon as possible because I think it's harder for them to adjust if they're by themselves. What I mean is....I know the new students have to be trained, where the older members don't, and that sometimes because something down seperate of the team and I think that's bad. I remember being a rookie all too well and I was absolutely terfied to be around the rest of the team and the old members after being secluded on my own for so long to be taught the basics.

Also, when you do things with the group for the first couple weeks....try and do stuff that will get them talking about themselves. At school we have this thing we play were everyone gets in a circle (ok...with over 60 members or so...this might be hard) and says their name and something they like to do with an -ing. The person next to them has to say the first persons name and what they like to do...and then it goes on. It's an idea and it gets people learning other peoples names. I am not joking when I say I still had no clue what half the people on my team names were. I knew their face and I knew they were with my team but that was about it. So...try and get people interacting. I really wish my own team had more of this because it always seems like we are either working or at competition with no real "relax and have fun" time to just talk and learn stuff about your team mates. Yes....we have fun while building but it's just hard, ya know?
