Re: Student Leadership
I hope I can accurately describe this...
First we have a student elected President, Vice President, and Treasurer which at this point is more to satisfy Student Council requirements than anything else (they only recently forced us to have these specific positions, so they have not been fully developed). There is also a college mentor who is the team Director. In addition, the team is split into subteams for technical, animation, outreach and initiatives, and website. A mentor is designated the technical coordinator and is the head mentor for that subteam. Apart from this there aren't declared positions for mentors as far as I know.
In addition, within each subteam has a "lead student" which tends to be a more senior member of the team who knows a bit more about how that subteam's project works than anyone else. For the animation subteam this is the only leadership present within its group. The website subteam was more fortunate to have one/two mentor(s) (one had to leave before build season) in addition to a lead student.
Also, last, and probably most important are the coach and assistant coach. The assistant coach, Carl Agnew, is a former member of the team who has been involved with the team for all but two years of its existence. The coach is a founding mentor of the team and a teacher at our school, Steve Florence. These two put in countless hours (especially Flo) to make sure we can do what we do (e.g. be there so we can actually use the machine shop).
