Re: How do you recruit mentors?

As for other mentors, using your local Rotary Club can be a good avenue. There are probably companies represented in the Rotary Club that have employees who could be good FRC mentors.
We have 6 college mentors (including me), but two are graduating this year. I've been actively trying to bring in more, both FRC alumni and from ASME/other student organisations, but they're hard to convince. Being a student is more than a full time job and many students doubt their own expertise. We have a college mentor working on getting official recognition and support from the College of Engineering, but it's a slow process. When it comes to college mentors, it's harder to convince them than to find them. I'd personally be curious to hear about strategies on this in particular.
