Separating College v HS Teams

[Richard Wallace]

I'm a few years too old to contribute to this thread directly, but on behalf of another 931 mentor, here is an obvious example of how to put some distance between your HS and college teams:

This example is now starting his fourth year as a mentor for 931, is a very strong contributor to our design and construction process, and is well respected by our students. He has had very little difficulty separating from his role on his former HS team, because he waited until his third year of college to start as a mentor on our team. Also, his HS team is about nine hundred miles away, in Maryland, and has never been at an event with us.

I'd be interested in hearing how others have managed the transition from student to mentor without using time and distance to keep the two roles separate.
