Getting Mentors out of Comfort zone

[nuclearnerd]

Oh, one other thing that helped a lot - get your mentors and student leads signed up on some kind of online collaboration tool. We used www.basecamp.com (which is free for teachers, and well worth the monthly rate for the rest of us). You would be surprised at the amount of organization & decision making that can be done outside of the meeting context when people are free to contribute on their own schedules.
