Here's what I'm gathering from your description, please correct me if I've drawn the wrong conclusions: The other mentors split off to their new team without notifying the other mentor, and without giving him any time to change.

Here's what I'd do in this situation. If you're really really concerned about this, ask the mentors to sit down and talk about the issue. However, since it seems like there's a bit of a communication issue, you may want to write up your concerns (in a very polite way, maybe write and then edit it a ton of times, with different people reading it, just to avoid any and all chances of misunderstanding), and just send the written form to all involved parties.

If nothing comes of discussing the issue, I suggest going gung ho on sponsorship gathering and recruitment, and try and build your team to a new level. You and the one mentor left could work together to develop a new team image, name, and to gather new students.

Personally, I'd look at this as an opportunity to start from scratch, and to build a new team, based on a new system. Also, make sure to document any and all changes you make at this time, as all that makes prime Chairman's submission material.

Good luck with the new changes!
the first part is right and it is a small group of people on our team now not just me and the mentor but thanks so much those are all great ideas.
