Brad,
The mentor is only allowed as an observer as I understand. The full effect of the interview is based on the presentation of the students. We found that practice makes perfect, and a full understanding of team history is crucial. Your Chairman's team should talk to mentors and graduated students to get a feel for what the team has accomplished and the impact it has had on others. By giving them a full background and practice they will be prepared for the questions that will come later. Have your presenters practice before the whole team and have the team and mentors ask questions to help them prepare.
